If you're a grad student TAing a course and the professor is a bit lax when it comes to grading/attendance/etc., DON'T be a humorless prick who urges the professor at every point to hold his/her class to a higher standard.
Grad school is as much about meeting people and making connections (the means to various ends) as it is about getting that shiny new degree or getting your name as second author on a dozen papers.
Other than that, most successful graduate students seem to use at least some of their spare time to cultivate an interest in finer things than at the undergrad level: literature, jazz, wine, food, soccer, and scotch are popular.

In fact, I believe that the relationship between advisor and graduate student is directly descended from the master-apprentice relationship in the time of yore.

Each student will undoubtedly have different needs as a fledgling researcher, and it is important not to fall into the old "bigger is better" trap with regards to an advisor.
