-I think that completely depends from department to department. I will speak from prospective of Engineering.

-Since first year is your starting year, do not take your studies lightly right away. Trust if you get your studies on track in first year, next three years are going to be smooth right away. Built enough buffer so that you can enjoy the later years and focus on other important things.
Interact with all students and figure out those whose thinking matches with yours. These people are going to be part of your life on and possibly off campus. Good friends make good memories.
-If you are weak in communication skill, start working on it right away. Start reading novels, newspapers etc. I tell you even a stellar academic record sans a good personality and communication skill may not get you where you want to be.
-Try to figure out what you want to do in future, as in you want to prepare for UPSC (other Govt jobs) or MBA or GATE (or IES) or MS . If you are looking for a non tech avenue, your only focus should be to just sail through the curriculum. If you want to go into technical field, do prepare notes and start having a look at the types of questions asked in those exams.
-Don’t fall in love in first year itself. Even if you like somebody, wait for three-four semester. But if you can manage to keep your focus on things, while your hormones are bustling, than that’s your own discretion. But your career is more important than anything else.
-Do try to participate in one or two extra-curricular activities if you can afford any above all the things.
