What would you tell to your younger self as a new freshman attending undergraduate? What is one advice you wish you would have known if you to really help you strive forward? Any thing you wish you had known before?

Go out more and enjoy it. Travel while you have the opportunity
 
The longer you lie to yourself about what you want to do the longer it'll take to get where you actually want to be.
 
Time management is the name of the game.
 
Getting good grades should be obvious. The better your grades, the more doors you'll have open to you. You may never choose to go through those doors, but more options are always better than fewer options.

The advice I wish someone had given me is to take advantage of literally everything your university has to offer. Take the class in that strange subject you've always wondered about, develop relationships with professors and seek their mentorship, go study abroad, join the ski/surf/sky diving/whatever club, do stuff that takes you out of your comfort zone, learn a foreign language, start playing an instrument, etc. You'll never have the abundance of time and opportunities you have now. So don't waste it watching TV, playing video games, fiddling on your iphone, and sleeping off hangovers (at least not too often).
 
Don't screw up your grades just because you aren't exactly sure what you want to do. It's easier to switch paths with good grades, instead of trying to get your butt in gear after 3 semesters of chilling too much.
 
"Have fun, bc that's a good thing. But also get good grades while you do that."
