Im graduating in May and I have my first, real, big girl job interview tomorrow. Its with a small tech company that supplies computers, software, etc to other companies.
I had a phone interview with the president of the company today that went really well, and she asked me to come in tomorrow to see the office and meet in person.
So... yeah.... Im super nervous. lol. Any interview tips for me? Things to do? Not to do? Questions I should ask? etc.

Good eye contact, keep it conversational and light, yet professional. I was once told good advice that an interview should be like ping pong where you're asking questions, being asked, etc. My best interviews are where it doesn't feel like one at all. You'll do great, let us know how it goes!

Make sure to research the company and have some questions prepared about the job. I hate when I intervirw someone and ask if they have questions and they just say no. No? There's nothing else to find out about this job after a 20 minute interview?
You can ask about the job, about the company, what they like about it, what the team is like, culture is like, etc.

ditto to @shootingstar. Do a google news search on the company so you're aware of anything newsworthy going on with them. I also research some of the top executives as well as the person I'm interviewing with.
Write out 3 key points that you want to make/leave the interviewer with; things that support why you are a good candidate for the job. Also have think about anecdotes or examples that act as "proof points."
Strong hand shake, professional dress, good eye contact = you are golden. Good luck!
