Working hard or hardly working?

Being A Summer Intern As Told By Friends
Bailey Davidson

The first day you walked in more excited than a kid in a candy shop.


But soon realized working 8-5 is rough…real rough.

You spend more time asking for clarification on how to do the task than on the actual task.

You copy whatever your coworkers do.

You quickly learned how your boss likes their coffee.

The 5 words “But…I’m just an intern?!” run through your mind constantly.

You agree with anything anyone says.

You jam the copier at least twice a day.

The president of the company may as well be the president of the United States.

Getting your first paycheck was like Christmas morning.

You realize the real world is a little more work than you thought… but are extremely thankful for the experience.

Shoutout to The Moser Group Inc. for my first summer internship! I may not be perfect, but I sure am learning a lot. Thank you so much for the opportunity to intern with you all!

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

He's going to ask for a glass of milk

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
