Getting to New York as an intern feels like you are a fish that has been dumped out of its bowl. Everything looks the same and people tend to bump into you a little too frequently as you try to Google Maps your way around. Us "flailing fish" find it hard to breathe in our new environment as we figure out our new surroundings. Here's a look into the intern mind via some hilarious gifs.

1. Arriving and thinking... "I am the queen of this new city watch out people."

2. After eating too much at one too many restaurants you wanted to "try".

3. Showing up to work the next morning after last night's happy hour.

4. Deciding to carry anything remotely heavy home since it's only a few blocks.

5. What your usual unpaid assignment is.

6. When you are just not being paid in general for interning.

7. When someone finally explains to you how the streets work in NYC and everything begins to make so much sense.

8. How you feel the locals are looking at you and everyone else with a real job.

9. How you think everyone around you views you.

10. How you feel when you open the window in the stinky and hot cab.

11. Going to that bar that all the other interns go to.

12. What your parents tell you before you go off to the big city.

13. When you finally complete a project with the other interns.

14. When you assume you will get into that club everyone talks about.

15. When you finally just accept your title as the intern.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
