As someone who has just finished their first year in college myself, I would have to say continue to read on this site! Reading on the site will give you some great knowledge on where to go next. There are so many books out there, and this business is what you make of it. 

1.Start with the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing here: The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing

2.Check out the Start Here page http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthere

3.Work on adding a profile picture (one that is PROFESSIONAL) and completely fill out your profile if you haven't already done so.

4.You really just need to reach out to others in your area and ask to become colleagues. My biggest step after learning the basics was to find a mentor. Make sure you have some basic knowledge first because a mentor will want to see that you are serious and do not just want a handout. 

5.DO NOT GIVE UP! I think for me the toughest thing is to not get down or depressed when things aren't going according to plan. You can do this! Listen to every single Podcast that you can! Each one of them have some good knowledge and advice.
