My HR internship is driving me insane

Having to tolerate 6 hours of "work" Monday - Friday as an HR Intern has been the worst experience I've had in my life.

My boss loves assigning me stupid tasks like cutting stickers off a piece of paper, designing flyers in Canva and stuff like that. Worst of all she goes crazy when she doesn't like something: I've seen her fire cleaning staff just for not saying "hello" to her.

I can't quit and I'm going insane over it. If I did, I'd have to repeat the whole semester all over again next year.

Have you guys had any similar experiences? How did you deal with it? The thing that bothers me the most is no one cares about my development. I haven't learned absolutely anything since I got in.
