No Freshman Internship, What Now?
Hello all, I wasn't able to land a freshman internship, and I was wondering on how I should best make use of the time I have. I will have gotten a 4.0 for both semesters, and I've joined some finance/business related clubs, and have e-board positions lined up for 2 of them. I was planning this summer to take some classes at my local community college, get a summer job, and take some programming classes/courses that I can find. Other than that, I feel like I should be doing more. I didn't really understand the time-frame of when to apply for a freshman summer internship until it was too late. At this point there is obviously nothing left, and even if there was, I wouldn't know where to look.

I got my freshman internship a week before I started. Reach out to family and friends and see if they know anyone, or cold email local small firms around you. No need for any big names, as freshman year doesn't really matter. Also, this will be tougher if you're not near a NYC or SF type area, but still doable. Good luck!
Alright sounds like a plan, thank you. Spring break starts in 2 days so I'll try to do as much as I can during the free week.

Go work as a lifeguard, camp counselor, etc. It's your last acceptable summer to hang out, work a chill job, etc.
Are you all like forbidden by your families to fucking relax?
I swear if people your age don't start taking a breath, midtown will look like Jonestown in a few years.
You're all going to have a mental breakdown from this stupid pressure and once you realize what the job actually is, you're going to be absolutely miserable that you never enjoyed one day of college.
Freshman year internships don't mean dick, everyone knows you're not doing real work as an intern.
One option would be to search for early stage startups (seed or series A) to cold email to offer to work remotely for the summer. Even if unpaid it'll be something for the resume and you can spin it easily as wanting to explore an interest in entrepreneurship
