Are Summer Internships Worth it?

I guess I got really lucky with my internship. I interned at Emory’s Chem Dept, under a grad student working at a Physical Chemistry group focused on quantum confining materials and nonlinear spectroscopy. I learned so much in those five weeks, and thankfully never had to file paper, get coffee (except for me!), and I felt like I considerably contributed to the group’s progress on their research. I also got to participate in group meetings, I really felt as if I was a part of the group…

I’m definitely going back this summer, hopefully to work for 2-3 months, and will try to get published this time!
