My dream is to one day create my own startup (possibly right out of college)
Be careful with who you say this to. Although this probably won't be a problem with an internship, an employer may be reluctant to consider someone who demonstrates a lack of commitment.
I was told of a student who said to one of his interviewers at Electronic Arts that he "wanted to be the next Jenova Chen." (Jenova Chen left EA to found thatgamecompany.) Needless to say, the interviewer was not amused.
Games is a particularly odd area because the big companies actively don't want designer/entrepreneurial type of people much. Everyone wants to be a game designer, but realistically, EA needs like a dozen top-level game designers, a few dozen designers of subsystems of games, and a whole hell of a lot of programmers, artists, and testers. They want to hire the next "pumps out thousands of lines of animation code", not the next Will Wright, because there isn't really any advancement path within the company to move up to be the next Will Wright, and if you hope there is, you're likely to be disappointed (or leave). Exceptions for a very few areas, which are usually direct hires by important people; e.g. Will Wright himself likes to hire a few, often junior, people to help him design and prototype his games. But a normal EA recruiter is not hiring for that kind of job.
I get the feeling that the situation isn't as skewed at many other tech companies; e.g. Google doesn't feel threatened by people with entrepreneurial / run-your-own-project kinds of instincts, and tries to channel them where possible. Also, when my brother got hired at nVidia, the recruiter actively was trying to sell him on the idea that nVidia was a great first company to have on his resume. Followed up with the usual we-hope-you'll-stay, etc., but didn't have any illusions about the fact that the kinds of people they want to hire often plan to move on or found startups, and that's fine.
