Just accept your fate as a slave for 8 weeks. Constantly remind yourself that the FOMO is worth it while your friends are out enjoying everything the city has to offer.
People on this forum tend to think that the hours are the hard part. Anyone can do anything for 8 weeks. Working hard isn't hard. What's hard is turning down invitations to go out with friends and meet girls to do some mind-numbing work that realistically could wait until tomorrow.
Think that's hard? Try telling your parents who flew into the city to see you for the first time in 10 months that they should "go ahead and order" because you cant get out of the office to meet them at the restaurant downstairs. "Can we do breakfast instead?" All of this in favor of some mind-numbing work that could realistically wait until tomorrow.
Think that's hard? Try telling your fiance who has been planning a dream vacation for the last 2 years that you might have to cancel again. This isn't the first time you've defaulted on the goodwill loan you were forced to take out last time work got between you. Will this push her over the edge? The planning process is the opiate that distracted her from all of the BS that's been adding up in the first place. Devastating

I interned with this Chinese kid at a credit fund my sophomore year. He could speak fluent english, but lacked any sort of social awareness in terms of communication skills. He would constantly make racist Chinese jokes because people would laugh. He then started learning pickup lines. At a company offsite, he said to a girl in HR, "Hi, XYZ. Do you have a mirror in your pants? Because I see myself in them." That was that final nail in the coffin and the kid didn't show up after that.
At the BNP Paribas spring week last year a kid got kicked out on the first day for asking how to insider trade.
