What advice would you give?

Take the time to find an internship that you are interested in, but also try something that you are unfamiliar with, it may open up possibilities you hadn't thought of and it's so worth it. Also, ask to try new things at your internship, ask to shadow people, ask to do things, the workers are busy with their own jobs and may forget to include you so make sure you are asking every day to get the most out of your internship. Don't sit around and wait for things to happen.
