So you got an internship for the summer. That’s great. Now what?
Internships are awesome. They’re a great way to make connections, learn about a field you are potentially interested in and do everything in the office that nobody else wants to do. Seriously.
From one intern to another, here are seven signs that you have a summer internship.

2. Wait, we only have a week of classes left before finals?
3. When are my finals even?
4. I hope the schedule for finals doesn’t interfere with my Netflix time.

5. Okay, now I’m stressing about finals.
6. When did we learn all this material? I wish I had been paying more attention in class.
7. Oh no, not another group project instead of a final.
8. I’ll just take a “quick” break from studying.
9. Why is that girl watching Netflix in the library right now? Isn’t she worried about her finals?
10. Ugh, I wish I was carefree enough to be watching Netflix in the library right now instead of studying.
11. I wonder what my final class grade would be if I didn’t do well on this final.
12. Is anyone else as stressed out as I am right now?
13. I need another chocolate bar. I wonder if i have enough quarters for the vending machine.
14. I can’t wait for this semester and for finals just to be over already.
15. Ugh, I hope I studied and know everything that I need to.
So as we're all studying (panicking) for finals, I wish you all the best of luck with your upcoming exams! And remember in a few weeks, we'll be back at home without a worry in our mind. The end is in sight.
1. BAKE ALL OF THE COOKIES
Every year since I was a little girl, my mom and I would bake cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. Here's a link to some awesome cookie recipes!
2. Make Gingerbread houses
This is a personal favorite of mine. My grandmother used to buy the standard Gingerbread kits but we would make our own icing and use our favorite candy as decoration. Of course, I would always end up eating a window or part of the roof off later when she wasn't looking (hehe).
3. Hallmark Ornaments
Okay, so I have to explain this one a little bit. There's a Christmas tree in my house dedicated specifically towards me. The ornaments are from my parents childhood, as well as mine. Every year my mom has bought 3-4 Hallmark Christmas ornaments of my choosing to add to the tree. It's really funny, because you can tell how old I was each year from the type of ornaments I would pick out (let's just say Barbie Princess was a big hit from 2000-2005ish).

4. Watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
It's my dad's favorite Christmas movie! This 1964 classic has been a hit in the James family for literally over 50 years. Honestly if you haven't seen this movie, I don't know how you could possibly have Christmas.
5. Christmas Eve Family Dinner
After the Christmas service at church, my family always comes over to my house to have a Christmas Eve dinner. We spend this time just enjoying each other, opening one present before Santa comes, and enjoying the true meaning of Christmas.

Although these traditions may not seem the most original, they mean a lot to me and Christmas wouldn't be the same to me without them. After all, Christmas isn't about how many presents you get or the long break you get from school. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and giving back to others. Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year.!
