What sort of engineering? I'm studying computer engineering myself, just entering my fourth (and last) year of undergrad.

Doing mechanical engineering right now. How's your program treating you so far?

I've enjoyed it a ton! I'm actually doing an internship this summer at a little startup, doing embedded Linux software to control a generator. It's been fun and has kinda made me wonder whether I want to do more electrical things, not just computer.

I'd definitely encourage you to get an internship in engineering one of these summers. I can't say that getting a job without any connections is especially easy, as I got my internship through networking, but it definitely is possible.

Like you mentioned in your top-level comment, I'm really excited for autumn to roll around so I can get back to classes.
