Make sure you get out often, have fun every week, meet people. I wish I'd have come out of college with a group of close friends and more people to talk to about jobs.

Also, go to the career fair every year and attend other employment events. Having interview experience and a couple internships under your belt will help a lot after graduation.

Oh, and maybe get to know your professors a little bit, especially if you're interested in research or a higher degree.

Consider being a TA, it's a good way to learn/demonstrate interpersonal and teaching skills.
