Freshman summer: where to start

Hi all, I’m a freshman at a T2 target (Penn CAS, Duke, Dartmouth), with an undecided major. I have a good GPA first semester. I’m interested in finance/consulting broadly, but I’m not exactly sure what within that world.

I know it’s pretty late, but I’m wondering if I should get an internship/where to start if your looking for an internship. I had assumed that this summer I wouldn’t need one, but now I’m not so sure. Does anyone have any advice on if I should do an internship/where to start at getting one? Sorry my questions pretty broad, I’m new to this.
