Hi! Spilled some water on my macbook, everything seems to be working fine for the most part, except the Wifi cant connect, the Bluetooth on the top bar has a squiggly line running through it. Certain software (like Magnet) has somehow been damaged and my Office was deactivated.
Any help with troubleshooting? Thanks!
Is this a good question?

Spills are not something you want to let to fester as the longer the time the wetness sits the more damage it creates!
Here’s a good writeup on what you are facing Ask iFixit: I Spilled Liquid on My Laptop—Now What?
It sounds like the damage is localized to the I/O board which is where the AirPort sits. Review this guide MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Early 2015 I/O Board Replacement as you’ll need to get it out to hopefully clean the corrosion or replace it as well as the possibility of the I/O cable.

Did you try running the onboard diagnostics to see what it reported?
Restart your system and Press the D key to enter into it
Reference: Mac startup key combinations
Typically a hardware issue like a liquid spill wouldn't mess up your software. This sounds like a file corruption issue you'll need to run Disk Utility after we get the spill damage issues resolved.
