As a future civil engineering student, what things should i prioritize or focus on the most in college (Grades, Internships, hands on projects) in order to be successful in the future after graduating? Which would have the longest term impact on careers and what did you wish you focused on more in school?

I am a high school senior and I want to study and go into civil engineering, I know there are a lot of specialties in the field so I'm excited to learn more about them. I've shadowed a civil engineer which helped me understand the job more and made me more curious about the projects they work on.
