I've found treating mentors the same as friends can work. Keep in contact via whatever means you used during your internship (email/chat/voice). It can be a balancing act where you don't want to be a leech, only taking and no giving. But it is a professional friendship. You have to like and trust your mentor to give you sound, unfiltered advice, without compromising their own integrity. Being a mentor can be a real challenge too!
