Hi Jessica,
Depending on your curriculum, you may be required to take a class on physiological psychology. This is very anatomy heavy where you will learn the different brain structures, neurotransmitters, etc. It will basically feel like a premed class. Try to research some youtube videos on this topic so you're not blindsided when taking this class as well as psychological statistics. Start reading some research papers on topics you are interested so that you can get accustomed to terminologies and how to critique/write academic papers and journal reviews. Be open to working as a research assistant for professors conducting research as this will greatly prepare you for real world psychology jobs as well as teacher recommendations for graduate school.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best in earning your degree!
