Another thing you might want to address is anxiety of getting into the program. A lot of people experience a lot of anxiety over getting in, over success (or lack of it), the adjustment of university, and program choices. So for example, I'm always worried about what I should take in school and am basically now in a position where I have my major but I might have to do yet another year (part time) to get psychology and biology credits to fulfil requirements for one of my programs of interest. And a lot of people don't know how to access the resources to figure out how to make these decisions and stuff so addressing that might be good. Like you might want to talk to them about doing their masters, if this is something of interest how do they access this information? And so on.

Another good topic to cover would be how to manage your time. I feel like a lot of these talks are very empty minded though, like oh make a schedule and stick to it. But they always neglect to say that A) school doesn't have to consume you, telling students that they should take sometime every day to eat, cook, shower, sleep and work out is very important and B) that they shouldn't try to take on to many things but to experiment with their interests and C) they should take time to do things like volunteering or hanging out with friends a few hours every week. It is so common for people to say to block out time for studying and stuff, whereas I am always thinking that's so unrealistic because I think that a lot of the time people should leave time in their day FOR things like studying where they can go between eating or talking a break to read AND to study, instead of trying to plan a week ahead to study for 3 hours on Thursday afternoon--basically encourage them to manage their time but not to make it to busy OR to rigid. I hope that helps.
