How should I go about following up with an employer after an interview?

I just had one of my first interviews for an internship over the summer. I'm not sure how well it went, but is there something I should be doing in this time while I wait for a response back from my potential employer?

How should I go about preparing a cover letter?

As I've applying to different internships, I've found that not all internships require a cover letter. Nevertheless, everyone keeps telling me I should still submit one with my resume, but I've never written one. What should I make sure to include in my cover letter?
