Balancing academics, extracurriculars, and an internship all at the same time can seem pretty daunting to most students.

Although June may seem like an eternity away in the heart of this never-ending winter, starting early on your internship/job hunt is always a good idea!

While it may seem like everyone found an internship for the summer while you were spending all your time looking through columbia buy sell memes, that’s definitely not the case.
