I loved that we were paired with a legislative aid, so we got to help with committee prep binders and to better understand how policy makes its way through the office. We also got to do lunches with different office members, and it was really informative to learn about their paths to the hill.
What I wish was different
COVID made it a bit tougher to get into committee hearing if you wanted to go and watch them, which was a bit of a bummer, but things opened up a bit more as the summer went on.
Advice
As always, work you hardest with whatever you are given- especially if it is something small and less exciting, because being reliable is something that will get you assigned bigger tasks later on.
