Routed the PCB
I spent some time learning to route - at first I did the same lines from both sides, but then I undestood I only had to route from one side. After doing it from the front side, I saw that it was pretty easy. Now I can finally say that I finished the panic board!

Created the PCB layout
I also finished the PCB layout after configuring the footprints. I used the measure tool to make sure everything is okay. I really like seeing this come to life, with no help! I still have to route it (which I have no idea how to do). I might change the layout so the USB is on the right side

Schematic + Footprints
I spent around 1 hour doing the schematic. The reason it took me long is because at first I tried using a pico, but then realized that its not needed since the xiao has enough pins. I spent some time configuring the footprints, and I deleted and remade everything 2 times beacause I had a challenge with myself to finish the schematic with no external help.
