I'm pretty new out of school and just gotten a job that I really enjoy myself, at a company I respect. My first few months (and even now) were really, really tough since it was my first REAL job. I am now in charge of my own projects, whereas before I was just helping other people on theirs. My advice is you have to know when to ask for help. The people at the company who know you're an Intern and aren't expecting you to have a lot of real world experience. In other words, they expect that you aren't going to know everything, so ask them questions. This is something I still am trying to grasp, as often I will feel useless when I don't understand something, but you need to ask people for help. Also, show other people you are willing to learn. That might take different forms, such as asking questions to better understand your project, asking sooeone show you how to do something, or taking classes if your company offers them. Also, if you feel you need to, you can also ask your supervisor if you can stay later, so you can have extra time to complete projects. tl;dr: If people know you're an Intern, they don't expect you to know everything. Ask questions when you don't understand something and show a willingness to learn.
