I’m a post-graduate art student. I want to learn about physics without paying for a university, what books should I pick up?

I spent my time in art school learning what I wanted about film and painting. Now I’m in the real world with so many things to learn between working for bills. I’ve spent thousands on a creative avenue and I want a different challenge. Looking for reading material university students use when studying physics in top colleges. Not interested in applying to Harvard or Princeton. Please send a list of the books you get each semester.
My job pays well but it’s boring. I want books that can stimulate my mind. I feel like learning more about the universe through mathematics and principles will help me in creative aspects.
TLDR; If you’re studying physics at a university, send the book titles they assigned you.
