Getting bad grades aren't the end of the world, but getting good grades make things so so so much easier - for a long time.

It's important to start on the right food/in the best situation possible job-wise etc., because if you don't you will immediately and irreversibly close some doors you may later wish were open.

Explore different areas and learn as much interesting stuff (read: liberal arts) as you can - don't turn your college experience/degree into purely vocational school. You'll be a better person for it.

I was fortunate enough to have this advice bestowed on me pretty early and managed to heed it so really enjoyed college and came out the other end in a good spot - so not really advice I'd give to me, but really important advice (in my opinion) that I'd pass on to anyone. (1) and (2) are related and (2) is by far the most important.
