well i like soup but don't know that i want to be swimming in it XD

thanks for your advice, i think i have been trying to prove myself by spinning my wheels instead of taking a step back and evaluating the situations that get presented before me.

appreciate it again, hope you enjoy your weekend

Remember that “officially asking for help” is a very valid step to take. If it all blows up, you can at least point to the several unanswered requests that you sent off to various people. If they reply, and you are able to help it not blow up, you can all share some credit!

If you somehow end up getting blamed for it anyway, I guarantee this is not a company you want to work for even as an intern. Find the one or two good people who might serve as references for jobs later, explain the situation you were put in, and I am confident you will be able to look back at this as a small road bump at the beginning of a successful career in the general industry

Asking for help also shows you're a team player that can reach out to get help in areas you're not an expert in. This is a good pattern to develop and can help you in the future.

And to echo/rephrase the grandparent's words, if asking for help is the kind of thing that people in this company would look down on you for, then this is absolutely not the kind of company you want to work for... not just "even" as an intern, but especially as an intern. Interns are supposed to have questions!
