Best Way to Spend this Quarantine Time

Next Fall I will start my undergraduate degree in Finance. I was wondering what would be the most efficient way for me to spend this time, given that I have practically no homework from school and a lot of free time, to prepare for a possible IB career right out of undergraduate. I started self-studying micro and macroeconomics and using MIT OCW and Youtube with it. Is there something else that I can do to boost my chances for a better undergrad and/or IB?
