Learn connect and learn again. As a student, your job is to learn. Not just your discipline but everything possible. From biomedical engineering to design to cooking to networking. The more you know the better off you’ll be and the more opportunities you can grab. As a soon-to-be adult in the “real world” your job is to find and secure a job. A large portion of the first job game is networking. Connect with as many people as you can and put on a friendly smile. You never know who will be the one with the Co-Op turned full time that can recommend you to their boss. Make sure you have something to do every summer to put on your resume. Some of my friends were struggling to fill up space on there. Ideally, you should have enough experience (internship, Co-Op, research, leadership, etc) by senior year that you need to omit stuff on your resume. Obviously, keep the grades high and motivation higher. You can’t burnout before you have begun!
