Follow your passions and everything else will fall into place! But if you intend to do further education, it’s worthwhile to write an undergraduate thesis. It’s not only useful preparation, it will also allow you to get to know professors who can become excellent references.
And, of course, enjoy yourself and invest in your friendships!

Set out your goals and surround yourself with like-minded people who will help support you on your journey to achieving those goals (and vice versa).
Get involved in extra-curricular activities as they really enrich your academic experience.
Don’t compromise your health and well-being for academics.
Networking is really important! Make friends among your peers and the faculty/staff of your program/college.
Take pictures of your experiences. Undergrad goes by so quickly, and you want those memories captured for a lifetime!

Take your time to learn more about yourself.
Reach out, talk to professors, challenge other students and yourself to think and engage.
Use your classes to create your voice and your approach. Understand how to ask questions and get your ideas across in difficult situations.
Reach out to TAs, Professors, other students who you might find interesting and who can share some perspective.
Once you leave university, the ability for this to happen organically sometimes dramatically decreases. Approach the world with wonder.
