Going into freshman year of college, Advice?

Hello

I am a soon to be freshman at a non-target 4 year university majoring in finance. My goal is to break in the high finance world. I understand the difficulty and work that needs to be committed in order to obtain such a goal. The reason for me posting here is to gain insight as to what I should accomplish or work towards over the course of my freshman year inorder to give my self the best opportunities in the future. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Cole
