Hey, current third year in CS at a Canadian university about to get a remote summer internship and my dads connection helped a lot. I had ~200 applications and started applying late in January but had no luck until I basically got referred in. How do I not feel guilty when some of my friends have been grinding a lot longer or how can I go about this.

I have taught myself web development and have decent projects, even did some freelancing but I know getting a summer internship has been harder than ever and it just feels like a shortcut i took.
