It has given me more insight as to what kind of career path I want to take, and the necessary experience and connections to be successful.

Try to soak in as much knowledge as you can and make your self accessible in a positive way to as many people as you can during the internship.

I wish I knew how to better balance my summer classes and internship to lessen the stress.

Would you recommend other students complete an internship? Why or why not?
I would highly recommend it, even if it may not be exactly what your vision of your future job is, because of the knowledge and insight you get from on the job experience. Another reason is that many jobs look for experience working, as well as nice references that can speak positively about your performance and character.
