As summer is approaching, many students (including myself) are on the hunt for a summer internship. After hours of looking at internships each day, I'm beginning to notice a trend of the thoughts I have throughout looking and applying to these internships. So for everyone else who is struggling to find an internship, here are some thoughts we all have.

1. How many internships are too many to apply to?

The other day when I sat down to my computer to look at internships, I asked myself realistically how many I should apply to. I know it's good to apply to several because you're not guaranteed to get any of them but really how many is too many?

2. Am I really qualified for this?

I'm going to be honest and say after reading the description of several internships I've begun to question if I'm really qualified to work in my field. There is definitely somethings I'm missing in my classes.

3. Oh, I'm definitely not getting this one.  

Sometimes, you just look at the internship and know you're not going to get it but you just gotta apply out of curiosity.

4. Should I really apply to this one?

While applying to internships, I've found myself asking a lot about whether a certain internship is right for me and worth applying to. This really depends on what you're looking for but there's at least one where you've asked yourself if it was worth it.

5. I'm going to check my email again. 

Once you apply to an internship or two, it really starts the cycle of endless email checking. Yes, I know I won't hear back when I sent in my application five minutes ago but it doesn't stop me from checking.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
