First, I'm no financial guru...
That being said, ideally, you should have 3 months of savings for a rainy day. You also need to pay off the loans. Start with the highest interest one and assuming you can pay it off early, pay more than required. I doubt you will be able to find a place to put your savings that will make more than your top three interest loans. When you get one paid loan off, you can use the money you would have paid to that loan to max the payment on the next highest interest loan...ripple effect.
Live cheap, create a savings, pay off your loans, and then pay yourself. Finally, since you will have learned to live paying XX amount of dollars a month to your loans, when they are paid off continue to pay XX amount automatically to an account/mutual fund.
You will also need to balance enjoying life...
Good luck
