What tf do I put on a first-year resume?

I’m a first year college student and I’m currently thinking about joining finance clubs and later (much later) finding a finance internship for my freshman summer. What in the world do I do if a firm/club asks me for a resume? I had literally zero finance experience throughout high school, not even any experience that I can spin into sounding “finance-y.” All I can show are my good high school (and hopefully college) GPA and test scores, my target school brand name, and a science research internship I had at a microbiology institute two years ago. Any advice on what I should do with what I have? Does it really matter at this point?
