Internship as a High School Senior or at least next steps?

I am a current High School Senior looking to get started in the finance world. In December I was admitted to The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania with a concentration in Finance. Ever since I was admitted, I've just been sitting around on my ass and I can't help but feel I can be more productive. Is it possible to get an internship right now and if not what would be the best steps to take at the moment in order to get an internship?
