Anyone else have a completely pointless summer?

To the OP,

You are NOT alone! Count me in. I exactly know what you mean. I should be more worried; I am a rising junior in college and have not done much this summer. At least last summer I took 2 courses in my local CC and now I am thinking of graduating a semester early. I have an “internship” right now, but it’s a virtual position so there is not much happening. As far as job hunting goes, yes it’s terrible. A close friend of mine applied to 30 places last year and not one response.

What I can suggest you though is to look for PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL CLUBS. These are the hidden gems (e.g. Marketing Club, Finance Club, Med Club or any professional club of your interest). These usually provide you with a myriad of opportunities (info panels, INTERNSHIPS, work experience, etc while you’re in school). This is what I am planning to do since I feel that I wasted this summer.
