College Advice

For those of you who have actually worked in the field, what kind of suggestions or advice could you give to a college freshman going into Computer Science? Things to do in spare time, what's important to learn and what isn't, fields to look into, etc etc, whatever you find relevant.

(P.S. My college teaches C, I've been programming since high school, and I have been reading SICP)

I mean, is it a thing with Management being retarded and believing the "hype"? Are there actually some good companies out there using another language to make their projects, so it would be better for me to learn whatever language that is so I can work on and create better projects/software?

Or is there another reason for why the OO languages are so popular and widely used? They can still make good software, right?
