Secured 2020SA position...what now?

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have received a 2020SA offer in NYC for investment banking. I received the offer in September and am just wondering what I should be doing from now until I begin in June? I’m from a non-target so don’t have any upperclassmen to ask.

I already know my group. Should I reach out to them and network to get to know them before I start (perhaps it’s still early to do this/I don’t want to annoy them)? Should I be brushing up on modeling skills? Or should I just be focusing on everything else I neglected to get this position?

Keep the GPA up, party hard when given the opportunity, make sure you’re working out or doing something good for your physical health, learn a skill like python? enjoy hanging with friends and have fun because during the summer the proving you’re worth return offer matters more than anything and we all know what that means for investment banking.

Perhaps like the week prior to the internship - brush up on excel - PPT, and review technicals.
