Just FYI that I have other resources related to mental health in general, but not about internship, fellowship, EPPP or first jobs. Just sharing some other things:

Mental health videos

Exercise blog

Time has flown! I remember when I had to go through the huge process of applying for internships. Luck = When preparation meets opportunity.
