Introducing the pigeon

Hello everybody at WSO. I'm Jesper from Denmark. I'm 20 years old and an aspiring banker. I currently work as a freelance chatoperator to support myself. In September I will start my bachelor in finance. Other than aspiring to work in the financial sector, I am not sure how to proceed with everything, and I am here to soak up knowledge, and hopefully make some new friends. I have read a few books, watched some guys talk about Wall Street (as the phenomenon) but other than that, I am still fairly new, dumb and ready to learn. Could anybody introduce me to this forum? How to use it, and how to get something out of it. I'm here to learn and to become the become the best version I can be of myself. I appreciate any feedback, comments, help etc. Positive or negative. Also, other than perhaps guiding me a little bit, are there any articles, threads etc. that I should read? I'm first starting my bachelor in september. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for it? Anything I should have in the bank of my mind? Sorry if I rambled but hopefully I've made myself clear to everyone. Thanks in advance
