What advice would I pass on to future interns? What are the most important skills for a student to be successful at his/her internship? How could another student develop these skills before beginning an internship?

Where you have your internship will be the most important decision you will make. I loved my internship and It solidified my future career goals. I do understand that it was important to have the experience, but since I already knew this was what I wanted to become part of me does wish I spent the month somewhere where I didn't have to sit in an office the majority of the time resulting in my back hurting a lot.
