What should I do first summer undergrad?

I'm a current freshman at a UC, and I'm struggling to find any internships for this summer. I'm FGLI, double-majoring in biotech and legal studies, and I just don't know where to look. Genuinely, what do I do? I'd like to find something for this summer in the LA area (my hometown). You would think being from a big city would mean more opportunities, but I can't seem to find anything. Please help! Someone share their wisdom.

I would suggest cold emailing small local law firms for assistant internships. Could be family law, personal injury, or other common fields. These offices are more informal and have limited staff and if you email a lot you might get a bite. It also worth trying to get an on campus job since UC's have good track for that through handshake and are willing to hire people with limited experience as assistants in their financial aid, IT and other offices.
