Venture Capital Internship - Advice and tips

I am a second year university student that was fortunate enough to get an investment analyst internship at a small and niche VC firm (>100m AUM). I was hoping to get some advice or tips to make the best out of this opportunity.

Moreover, it will be amazing to learn about some possible/realistic career pathways that I can take on.
