Freshman Year Internship Question

So I'm a freshman at NYU Stern right now, and like everyone else, I'm trying to intern over the summer. I have the opportunity to work in the accounting department at a local pharmaceutical, but I would just be handling/filing basic paperwork and not doing anything important. My question is would this experience be useful to put on my resume when recruiting comes around. or am I just wasting my time?
