If your goal is grad school, try to get into a research lab as an undergrad. Meet a professor in office hours and ask them: most professors want students because it’s free help, and if they say no you can ask another professor. Working in a lab you can also get a paid position or course credit.
If your goal is industry, try to get internships in your field. Most colleges have co-ops where the internship lasts a semester and sometimes the college helps you. You can also get summer internships on your own. Personal projects are also good for getting a first internship.
Whatever you do, definitely join clubs and make sure to have a social life / relax sometimes.
