Beginner UX designer, feeling stuck

I attended university for UX Design about 3 years ago. I ended up dropping out in my last year due to a lot going on in my personal life. I also hit a major creative block and just lost all motivation for a while. I'm 24 now and am starting to get some motivation back and I really want to push myself with this.

I feel that I learn skills better on my own, rather than in a classroom so I want to try and better myself in my spare time. I just have no idea where to even start? I have a few old projects from uni, but I want to try and create projects so I can start building a portfolio. Has anyone got advice on how I can get started or inspired? TIA
