What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
I think having internships over the summer is helpful if you know what field you want to go into. Maybe take classes that are more geared around that, or pursue a business major that's more open-ended. Those are good life skills you can learn.
I was also really active within student government and my sorority. Taking on leadership roles with a bit more on your plate helps you become a better worker and develop life skills. It also helps with putting yourself out there.
