20 Thoughts You Have During The Internship Search
koreaittimes.com

In college, the summer is a precious three months in which many of us hope to land a good internship, get some work experience and make enough money to support us for the rest of the year. Though this might sound like an easy enough task, the process of finding an internship is miserable, especially as a junior. Just so you know you're not alone, here are some thoughts everyone has during their internship search:

1. I am so qualified.

2. JK, why would anyone ever want to hire me?

3. Maybe I’ll just spend the whole summer traveling.

4. I will die if I don’t get this one internship.

5. There is nothing on my resume.

6. How casual is business casual?

7. Cover letters will be the death of me.

8. I don't think I can talk to another recruiter ever again.

9. What does this company even do?

10. I nailed that interview.

11. I blew that interview.

12. How many emails is too many emails?

13. I will literally work anywhere at this point.

14. Somebody tell me what to do with my life!

15. Should I reformat my resume? Yes I should.

16. What if I don’t sound friendly over the phone?

17. Where is the least weird place on campus to do this Skype interview?

18. This internship is the one I can feel it.

19. Fine! I didn’t want to work for you anyway!

20. Somebody please hire me.

Though the process can be painful, you will reap the benefits of your hard work in the end. You got this!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
