Switch into Finance

Hey guys I’m a Sophomore at a non-target
I switched into Finance this year from Pre-Med, as I realized my interest and strengths lean more towards Finance
As I’m new is there any resources or any next steps you guys recommend for me to learn anything and everything there is, from what to aim for in terms of internships and recruiting.
Also Finance is so broad and I don’t know what I would like doing or be good at any way I can get exposure to some of the fields out there?

If it helps I like anything Buy Side but then again who doesn’t but I know it will be difficult for me to break in considering my GPA. My Freshman year GPA was weak because of the difficulty of the science classes but
My business classes this year have been easy I have been able to keep a 4.0 so far)
