Freshman Help!!

Hey all, Freshman here and I know I want to do Asset Management. I am in the Real Estate club and Banking club, so I have opportunity to network and learn about both aspects. I am not specifically interested in real estate but Banking is up there for me too. I do not know what I should be currently doing to get ahead as I want an internship this upcoming summer and for sophomore summer. Does anyone have advice also on how to get searchfund winternships or spring internships before next summer and what I could do there to get ahead. From a grades standpoint I'm on track for a 4.00 this semester and am hopeful to reciprocate that next year as well. Any advice would help!
