As summer approaches, internship season is about to kick off. Internships are a great way to gain experience, form valuable relationships and earn some extra cash. While internships are great, searching for internships can be stressful and competitive. Here are some websites that make the internship search easier:

1. Indeed

Indeed is probably my favorite job search website. This site allows you to type in exactly what you are looking for and which city you want to work in. With Indeed you can be as specific as Social Media Intern or stay broad with a search for a Business Intern. Indeed also keeps your searches on record and updates you when a new posting matching your criteria is posted. Indeed also sends emails with new postings matching your search criteria.

2. LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a great resource for internship hunting. Companies often post their internship openings on LinkedIn, and students can search for openings based on city and keywords. LinkedIn also allows students to view the profiles of people who work for the company they are applying for. LinkedIn allows students to save jobs they are interested in, and often applicants can quickly apply straight from their LinkedIn profile.

3. Internships.com

Internships.com allows students to create a profile and a living resume. Students can search for internships based on field of work and city. Students can bookmark internships and keep track of submitted applications. Internships.com also sends emails when new jobs are posted.

4. Looksharp

With Looksharp, students can create an in-depth profile broadcasting their experience and academic accomplishments. Looksharp allows applicants to search for jobs and internships. The internship postings show whether the internship is paid, when the desired start date is and more.

5. Your school's career website

Most colleges have a career website where companies will post job openings. This is a great resource because the companies posting on the website most likely want to hire students from your school. Set up a profile and frequently check your school's career website for summer internships.

6. Barefoot Student

Barefoot Student is a job board that attracts some really amazing internships. Students can make a free account and browse internships based on industry and city. Not only does Barefoot Student post internship opportunities, but it also broadcasts jobs for recent grads.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
