I'm in a completely different field (classical music), and veen's comment is still straight on the nose.

    1. No college degree is gonna be great all the time

In fact, sometimes it will be complete fucking torture. In many programs (almost any i've ever spoken about with someone) there are classes that are almost universally reviled. There are also non-major subject you'll have to take - they are a blessing and a curse.

    3. Find that inner drive,

I would go so far as to say "Become obsessed", but not everyone agrees with me.

    4. Never be the smartest person in the room.

'nuff said

    6. Do cool & interesting stuff

the best way to do this is to say yes to things you're afraid to do.
