Freshman Summer Internships Are Important, But Don’t Forget These Other Skills - Justin Higgins, Georgetown University

College freshmen are told time and time again not to worry about landing an internship the summer after their first year. Instead, they’re urged to enjoy their “last summer of freedom” before entering the workforce for the foreseeable future. If you ask me, that’s pretty solid advice.But at a place like Georgetown — where there is a strong pre-professional culture — following that advice can be easier said than done. When your classmates are already interning on the Hill or taking networking calls (guilty), it’s hard not to feel like you should be doing something too. The truth is, almost anything that you do during your freshman summer can help you.
