I absolutely loved my manager, and I had a very rewarding experience. It was wonderful to be able to apply what I was learning in class to a real job. I feel more confident and assured I want to focus on FP&A.
What I wish was different
It was a bummer the internship was entirely remote, but my manager worked really hard to keep me engaged all summer despite not being in the office.
Advice
Take advantage of every minute. These are experiences for you to learn and make mistakes. I recommend taking initiative to gain as much knowledge as possible.

What I liked
I got to do a variety of tasks, all of which were at least partially related to engineering. I was not doing dull work that just anyone could do.
What I wish was different
Advice
Getting to work with a lot of different people within the company was a great opportunity. If you can, try to not just do stuff for your manager, but work with and for other people as well.

What I wish was different
I wish I was involved in more projects.

I definitely would tell any intern going into any girl to always ask questions and be a sponge. This will really show that you care, you will better your communication skills, and overall, learn new and important information.
