What's most effective for college?

Lately, I have been wondering something: If I have plenty of free time in summer, what should I invest in learning? The internet provides space to learn whatever we want, and this has brought me an interesting dilemma: should I focus on learning another language? Learning SQL? Or continue the path of Financial Modeling

I am here to ask, as an incoming college freshman: what would be most effective for my career afterward? Note that I'm going to study Business Admin.
