Haha, sleep and meditate !

When I was in your position, a partner told me to relax during my senior year of undergrad and have as much fun as possible. I took their advice!

Have a good time

Sleeeeepppp you’ll need it once you start

And then just the PowerPoint and excel skills so you’re super efficient

Nothing. Enjoy the time you have before you get into the grind. Youll figure everything out once you get there. Congrats!
