What do I do next?

Current 2nd year at a non-target school with a PE/VC internship that's going to end soon. Honestly didn't even think I'd get this opportunity in the first place but now that I have it, I don't know what to do with it. Should I stay in VC or try and diversify my experiences with something else?
