Thanks for answering! I really appreciate it! What would be a good way for me to get to know people? Striking up a conversation with people next to me during lunch? Would it be ok for me to go around the office to talk to people outside the cafe/lunch room?

It's probably best not to disturb people if they are at their desk however, if someone says hello to you or introduces themselves, take the opportunity to strike up a conversation. A simple, open ended question that can strike up some useful conversations is "So what do you do here?". Google is huge and there's no need to assume that you should already know what role each person plays in the business. If someone tells you what they do and you have no idea what it means, don't be afraid to ask them! You're an intern, the point of you being there is to learn and gain experience.
