I don't presume to be telling you anything you don't know when I say that getting a good internship in government (particularly the House and Senate) is not an easy task. There are a great deal of very competitive internships and there are no sure bets. However, the competition is at the highest during the Summer when colleges are out of session. These jobs still need interns when school is in session, but they have far fewer applicants. If there is a dream internship you really have your eye on, you might want to give some thought to applying for that internship during the Fall or Spring and taking a semester off if you get it. Not only is there far less competition, but since many of these offices are already understaffed, the workload is far more substantial than when they have a great deal of internships during the summer.
At my school, many students are ready to graduate a semester early, or they take a semester off and go abroad. If it fits your schedule, it might be a good idea to give some thought to applying for an internship. It would be a great way to take your semester off and it would be significantly less competitive.
