Where to start as a junior.

I am an ambitious junior finance student interested in breaking into Investment Banking. I have only been in college for one year due to credits and will be studying for only three years. I have no work experience or skills yet. I have no genuine idea where to start and how to prepare. I appreciate all guidance, mentorship, advice, recommendations for skills, and resources to prepare for nailing an internship in IB
