Tips for a first year student

Hi guys, hope everyone is having a great year so far. My questions are simple, albeit tricky. If you were able to restart university how differently would you undertake your internships/ what field would you focus in/ how differently would you network/ how would you learn technical skills + when would you start interview prep for the resulting goal of IB? Thank you so much in advance.

Sincerely, A stressed incoming commerce and law student
