This past summer I interned for the first time at an amazing radio station, CBS radio. My days of laying by the pool and waiting tables everyday came to an end and I began waking up at 5 a.m. for a crazy day at a concert or a VERY early morning broadcast were beginning. When I pictured my first internship I pictured it to be like the movies, having to do all the "crappy" work for the people who were above me. It was the complete opposite of what I thought I was very fortunate to work with the most incredible people who were so helpful for the three months I was interning.
I learned so much in the short months I was interning that I will never forget,

Any question is a good question:
Even if your boss thinks its ridiculous and makes you pick out of the jar, called, "ridiculous acts for ridiculous acts," it's still a good question. And yes, we really had a jar for ridiculous questions.
Office hours aren't so bad:
When sitting in the office every Tuesday and Friday there wasn't a time when I was not laughing. Even if the week was crazy filled and we had running around to do for the upcoming event the day was still crazy awesome!
I made the best of friends:
Over the summer I made many memories with friends I will never forget. I thought over the summer I would lose my social life but honestly, it only became better. I never felt like I was the lowest on the totem pole, I felt welcomed.
Waking up is HARD:
I never thought in a million years I would be waking up at 5 a.m. for a concert that started at 7 p.m. and you didn't get back to unload the trucks at the station until midnight and then you had another shift the next morning.
Thinking on my toes became easy:
Events get CRAZY. Especially at a concert with a million drunk people and it starts torrential down pouring so they all try covering under your tent and you have tons of equipment under a tent and you basically have to guard it with your life while praying you don't get electrocuted while holding a mental bar. But no worries, we all survived.
People love cut outs of performers:
I never thought walking around with a t-shirt saying where I worked and a huge cut out head of who was performing at the concert would get me so much free food and beer. But, I wasn't complaining. 
A selfie stick is important to have:
You just never know when you may need it on the job. Trust me, it came in handy many of times!
Everything I did this past summer was a huge learning experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I learned so much as well as making a million memories I will never forget and I cannot wait to finish school and continue working at CBS.
