What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
As simple as it sounds, I just tried my best to understand what I was learning and how it would actually be applied when I got a job. Putting forth a strong effort to get good grades and studying, as boring as that sounds, is really what helps you learn and apply what you're learning later on in life.
There's a lot of stuff in college courses that I learned and use almost every day on the job. Putting in your best effort in school to understand the material, and asking questions of your professors, will really help a lot.
I also think trying to meet lots of people working within your field or major is important. Making friends with professors, because the more people and professors you meet, the more they can help you later on in your career if you build good relationships with them. So, networking is also really big in college.
