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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
