The first thing would be invest in friendships with classmates sooner. This will help keep up with deadlines, help relieve stress, and you may also find various networking connections when you start your job search. The second important thing would to be to start EARLY working on your resume. I never realized how much a resume can change in such a short period of time.

The implications this attack brings forth are a little terrifying, and how the world will respond in moderating attacks like this in the future is what I am mostly interested in hearing about.
