Be active. Yes, boys and girls. Whatever it is you do, be active. Well, I am not saying the get-your-gears-we-are-going-hiking kind of active. But more like me, encouraging you to engage in conversations with your colleagues. Scrap that "I am only an intern" mentality off and start talking to the people sitting next to your table. But remember, talk only when necessary. Oh, and another important point is speak your mind. These people love fresh ideas. Sky is the limit, so go crazy with your imagination, especially when you're called in for brainstorming sessions!
Ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's not that it is expected of you to NOT know things, but it is OK to not know things. Interning in Edelman has taught me that everyone is still in the process of learning, and sharing various knowledge and insights with one another is one of the key steps to improving yourself as well as to grow together as a company. Trust me when I say ask questions. People appreciate questions rather than nods - because they're not sure whether you really understand what they are talking about... or not. 
Lend a hand. Similarly to being active, ask for more work. If you think you haven't done or learned enough, offer yourself to help your colleagues. It can be as small as clearing up the Christmas tree at the office, to doing manual media monitoring (yeah, going through newspapers can be tough!) or as big as developing strategies for your clients. At the end of the day, we are all working towards reaching the same goal. So, it is definitely important to keep the dynamism going in the team!
That's it, boys and girls. I hope you enjoyed reading! Let me know what you think about my experience, and you can also share a couple of things you've learned from your internship! Do comment down below!
Til my next post,
