Advice for undergrad college students

Hey all. I am currently studying business finance in university with junior credits, but have this year and two more to go since I switched majors. As a first generation college student, I am not sure where to go next and am anxious about the future. I am interested in becoming a financial advisor or analyst and I know that these fields are really competitive. Do you guys have any advice for college students in order to get ahead? A list would be nice, thanks!
