College Refocusing: Stay on same track? Change things up? A bit of both?

I'm actually surprised too that you couldn't find anything. I got my internship a week before school started, and I knew people who didn't get theirs until two weeks after.

For my career path (notably interning in government agencies, interning in senators and congressman/congressswoman's office, or anything related of that sorts), they require you to apply ahead of time. And since I was focusing hard on my academics in my first semester of college, I was a tad bit too late.

I don't know what sort of past you had in high school with parties and the like either.

Since you asked, I'll give you a tl;dr version of how my high school was:

My high school was incredibly competitive, which translated to many of my peers taking advanced courses (ex: AP courses) and pushing themselves to the max (and beyond, at times) to get excellent grades. There were absolutely no parties of any sorts (the you-know what); if anything, social events mostly consisted of people hanging out together, getting food to eat, chat, have fun, etc. Ya know, just keepin' things chill and simple?

With that said, hopefully you can see how my background influenced the things I do in college.
