Find opportunities to volunteer or intern in your field of interest during the summer or breaks. This will provide you with an opportunity to see what the work is like and will help you determine if you are interested in a particular career or not. Also, it will give you an edge in being hired out of school as you will have industry related experience.

2) Ask questions - You are at a unique stage of life where No One should judge you for asking questions. Rather, most will applaud you for digging into topics and
3) Say "Yes" to as many opportunities as you can - Gain experiences from embracing opportunities that are presented to you, regardless of your competency.
4) Learn from failure - Fail. Fail often. But learn. The only mistakes not worth making are the ones you repeat; because those were missed opportunities to learn and position for future success.
5) Be honest - No matter what. No matter the consequence. Honesty is the foundation for relationships and for recognizing weaknesses. Be honest with others and with yourself, so that you can improve.
