Aside from basic audio cables, power supply cables, laptop stand, USB cable. What else should I have? Like what extra cables? Some portable light, power cord, etc.

Having your own audio cables already puts you 10 steps ahead of the DJ's I worked with. It's amazing how many DJ's don't have simple RCA cables with 'em when they bring their gear.
Also.. always bring adapters. Headphone adapters, RCA-to-TRS adapters, RCA female-to-female, 1/8"(3,5mm) to RCA is also handy to carry with you. For an iPod for example.
Having the cables you need + 1 spare of each is very handy but the spare is not mandatory.
I like to use color coded USB cables to know what goes where and to see if there's something I'm missing.
Extension cable is handy but should really be covered by the venue.
Portable light or like a USB light is a handy thing, also a flashlight can be of great use when setting up.

"Wow! I wanna be just like your friend! Thats honestly what i told my mom and dad when i was about 11 years old...i said when i grow up i wanna dj for rich people"
Pretty much every things been covered I'd say. You could possibly bring a small book of CD's at a club if you really wanna be super safe, you never know what can go wrong. Not a necessity though. Make sure you have a flashlight of some sort though, it gets dark behind those mixers and it makes setting up much easier
