Progress one step at a time. The next to work toward is you're instrument ticket so you need to build the required hours. Being in college there should be plenty of adventerous people that would be up for a ride. You are allowed to share the expenses with them so the cost of a plane divided between four people (assuming you are checked out in something like that) is relatively inexpensive. After you do that with a few people they'll tell two friends and so on and you will also stay current. Before you know it you will probably have people asking for you to take them flying so tell them upfront to share the expenses. Worked that way for me way back when.
