I hate my internship/regret taking it

Did you sign a contract for the period of your internship? If not, then you should inquire with the company about ending it in August if going back for fall term is still an option. The risk with that is that they may just fire you on the spot. It actually sounds like that might be a better option. As you indicated, you’d be burning your bridge at that one company, but that sounds like it would not be an issue for you.

You may have gotten some bad advice from your advisor. I would get the packet of resumes for internships for my company around the first of January. I’d interview in the first few months of the year and decide on who to hire around spring break. Not all companies would be the same but quite a few I knew about were on the same schedule as I was.
