Find a mentor. Never stop learning. Read everything you can that interests you, or even things you think won't interest you, as sometimes those spark new ideas and help uncover new passions. Actively seek out people who are passionate about things, even if it isn't exactly what you are passionate about.
Get into an actual research lab as soon as possible. Practical science is more useful than book science. You are at a massive school with hundreds of millions of dollars, someone there is doing research. Look up your faculties areas of research and find one that interests you, read some of their papers, then approach them or send an email asking for a short meeting and express your interest in working in their lab. Since it sounds like you are in your senior year, even more of a reason to get some research experience under your belt. Are you working on a senior thesis?
Take advantage of the resources at your disposal and be willing to try new things even if they seem boring at first, learning you don't like something can be just as valuable as learning something you do.
Be more humble.
I don't have a college background of course but I will
Right now I am at WVU
Also...after re-reading your post I can't tell if you're a senior at West Virginia University or a senior in high-school attending WVU because you did well on a history test?
