Would you choose an okay internship guaranteed or decline it for potential “better” places but the interviews aren’t for months?

Hey Reddit , So I have to do a year long internship (sigh) and anyway I’ve been interviewed at places. Technically, the deadline I have to find a place is July but places fill up sooner. I just did an interview at a place that I could see myself at... but it’s not my top choice. I’m pretty confident I will get an offer. I have two more interviews in March.

Honestly this process makes me sick. I just want to secure a place that meets the requirements. I feel like if I don’t secure my safe offer... I would be risking it for the two interviews in March. I may end up not even liking the places I would interview in March for.

My question dear redditors is .. should I choose the safe choice or risk it all for the “better” places in march?

I want to get the best internship experience I can but at the same time.... it’s just an internship.

Thoughts?? Thanks!!!!
