You actually have a decent amount of time to prep into your jr year internship. It just feels like an insane uphill battle because you're starting and yes, it will be a grind from the start to the end but the hardest part is getting into the swing of things. Try seeing if you can set something up finance-related during the school year and definitely get involved on-campus with finance clubs.

I can provide more guidance & a game plan if you DM me and we can set up a time to chat
