The 15 Stages of Applying for an Internship
Bonnie Kittle

Entering the "real world" is the ultimate goal of college, right? Well, while we're in college we often forget that (or at least I do). Which means we start to operate on a different schedule than the rest of the world... and forget about deadlines... especially for Internships.

It's one of the most stressful and exciting things you can do while in college. You are literally taking your first step into your career field (hopefully of your dreams). Getting everything in on time is enough of a struggle, but then all the "what if"s pop into your head.

By some miracle of God, we get through and end up with an internship.

As you procrastinate applying for your internship please enjoy these gifs describing the process.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
