How would you invest 1200$ monthly starting today

Hello everyone !

I have 1200$ to invest monthly and about 5k$ in savings, I live with my parents and have no obligation to use that money, my car is paid by them and I’m debt-free. Going into college soon in an European country with a full scolarship.

Let’s say you have 5 years to invest that money, how would you do it ?

I was thinking an extremely simple option :

50% QQQ

50% VOO

What do you think ?
