"What should I do during my time as a student?"
"What should I do to make my future life better?"
I think that the answers to these questions will differ from person to person. However, for whatever we are talking about, determining what is good (or bad) requires us to have a certain mindset that will anchor us. That being said, there is no correct answer for what we should individually use as that anchor. It is something that is established by brushing up our own ideas through various experiences and exposure to a diverse range of knowledge and values.
During your time as a student, you will be able to sit down and work steadily on economics and any other things that you are interested in. I am sure that you will experience successes, failures, good things, and bad things. I would just like you to enjoy yourselves as you take on various challenges.
