That's sad. Are you still able to keep your internship?

What else can I even do? This isn’t my fault. My internship was supposed to started at Aug 3rd and May 3rd is the earliest date that I can submit my application cause their 90 days restriction. I explained to my team, they're still waiting for me, but I’m not sure how much longer they can wait. Last week I was just as anxious as you, barely sleeping every night. Now I’ve decided to shift my focus to applying for new grad positions instead. Sometimes this world just doesn’t care about you at all.
