As a freshman myself at Notre Dame, I'm jealous, I wish I was ahead of the class all the time. But more importantly, you should branch out and do something new! I'm in the Notre Dame Marching Band. We have more engineers than any other major (>30%) and we do zero engineering at band, we just play music, have a good time, and do something that a lot of people enjoy.

Obviously band isn't for everyone, but try something completely out of your comfort zone or out of your usual skillset. I'm glad I did, it's a fantastic break from what is usually a day full of quite difficult classes and it's the single coolest thing I've been a part of in my life. All I'm saying is, there is always an opportunity to fall in love with something new, you just have to go for it. (And by it, I mean something not directly related to robotics or at the very least you're particular strongsuit in robotics)
