I get that the idea of doing good in college wants you to be ready but honestly man, most of aspirants wont get the university you got. Have fun, learn, make mistakes and let it hit you candid. Do not stress out on not being productive, you will have to do that later on.
Honestly, if you have spare time, find a hobby (instrument, sport, art) that will help you when you have a lot going on in your uni days. I thank my self for playing football when all I wanted to do was scream and frown for having the worst possible phase. Read legal fiction, that wont teach much but just enough to stir your curiosity. If you can work a little on attention span and reading that might help.
This inevitably will become a performance based rat race, but until then, celebrate, enjoy and have fun please. People will tell you that you are not from a t1 NLU and you will have to work hard to compete; maybe, but not really, it works out, I eat at the same table as T1 NLU grads and in your terms I wasted my first two years in college just roaming around.
