2nd Year is completely key IMO.

Either you choose courses that take you in a direction you like, and you follow them in your third year (particularly your dissertation), or you choose the wrong ones and end up hating your degree and becoming unmotivated.

Also very crucial in terms of your friendships, I think, as well as your other interests, because you haven't got the point where you can only afford to be focused on your degree. I worked quite hard in my second year on my course but I also read lots of novels, plays, and poems and watched stacks of films, made some new friends and jettisoned some others - basically that was when I became the person I am now.
