3 Month freshman internship, what to do?

Hello everyone!

Essentially I'm at EDHEC and my school requires that we have a 2 to 3 month summer internship during our first year in the "Programme grande école" (MiM, did "Prepa"). Thing is that I have yet to find internship offers actually corresponding to that time period for freshman experience. I'd like to work in M&A in the future and don't really know what to do. What type of interships should I focus on? Should I just cold mail a lot of alumni?
Lost atm and would love some guidance, the school isn't really helping.

Cheers!
