Where do I invest my money market money? (Still in college but have money saved up)

I’ve been fortunate enough to save money during college because I went to a super non-target that was cheap and went the MSF route and was also fortunate enough to get most of my tuition covered. I have a good chunk of money saved up (not quite six figures but getting their), and I don’t know where to invest it. I have a MM IB internship lined up for next summer so I’ve been taking a break from interview prep to focus on investing.

Where would you invest money if you had a little nest egg just before starting your career? Should I get an FA? Should I just dump it in SPY? (I invest through fidelity atm) just looking for pointers so anything helps!
