Take advantage of everything your school offers. If there are difficult classes (such as a lot of AP’s) that you want to strive for, do everything you can early on to make it happen.

Also, one thing I regret not doing during my freshman year (I am a senior now) is not being open-minded with clubs. I was very close-minded and wasn’t willing to branch out. I was only involved in some music activities (since that was what I was most comfortable with) while now, I have become involved in so many other clubs, especially math and science ones. I have even helped start a club or two as well!

Bottom line, don’t take the easy way out. Challenge yourself and don’t just “go with the flow.” Be the one who goes all out, and later on people will wish they had the motivation that you did!
