For lay readers, "The Lady Tasting Tea" gives a nice non-technical overview of the development of the field of statistics.

Econometrics and statistics classes are probably the most useful. I think more economics students would benefit from how economists and social scientists actually work with data. Try to read as many academic papers as possible. Most will be too difficult for first-year students, but some, especially in applied fields like labour economics might be clear enough for you gain a high-level understanding of how the authors approached a particular problem.
Much of what we do is just very applied social science. "Mastering 'Metrics" provides a nice overview of some the techniques used by social-science researchers, and is a good complement to traditional econometrics/statistics textbooks.

Never too late to learn, grasshopper.
Anyone read Angirst and Pischke's Mastering Metrics?
Looks like it's a less technical version of MHE.
Mastering 'Metrics is an applied version of the authors' other book, focusing on fewer concepts and walking through them. The JEP's of '01 & '17 are centered around econometrics. If you ask on /r/AskEconomics you'll probably get a more in-depth answer.
And I'd hold off on reading anything MMT related tbh.
