How do I handle this?!?

I was really excited about this internship opportunity that I was given. I’m a second year college student. My cousin told me about it and I was really excited because it sounded perfect for me. It was with this lady who has a small business and was paid and everything. Me and the lady started emailing and set up an interview and eventually we video called. I thought I did really well in the interview because I have interviewed multiple times and was prepared for all the questions. Tho only thing I was worried about was whether I had enough experience. At the end of the interview she thanked me for my time and said she would her back to me with a decision in about 2 weeks on a Monday. She said even if I didn’t make it I would hear something back anyways because she would hate to leave someone hanging. Today is 2 weeks and it’s Monday ( the day she told me she would get back to me ) and I have not heard anything all day. My hope is starting to go away and I’m starting to think I didn’t get it. She told me she was looking to choose two interns and an assistant. She has got to be out of the office by now and I’m a little disappointed and want to cry. I’m hoping maybe tomorrow I’ll here something but it’s giving me a lot of anxiety. How do I handle this?

    You wait to hear from her.

    If she said she would decide in 2 weeks, expect it to take 4.

    Continue looking for other internships in the meantime.  If something else comes up don't let the opportunity pass because you are waiting for this.
