I wouldn’t worry too much about actually publishing as an undergrad. Find something that interests you (it’s ok to bounce around labs - it’s ok to find a place you love the first time, too) and work hard in it. “Publish or perish” doesn’t really apply at the undergrad level, though publishing would be an extra bonus to all the interesting things you’ll do/learn.
