Do side projects. Do internships, if possible. Aim for A's instead of A+'s. The time-savings will be enormous, and allow you to do other things.

EDIT> Join project teams, if possible. E.g. game development club, robotics club, rocketry club, etc.




Doing side projects is so key and very underrated. The downside of a CS degree is it tends to be heavily theory-skewed (which can be really great!), but it doesn't take much to forget the practical side of the craft.
