It’s hunting season; internship hunting season. It’s stressful and long, but at the end you have a satisfying job getting coffee for people. Hopefully.

Here’s what everyone goes through when applying to internships.

1. You begin the search for internships.

How did 21 tabs get open?

2. You find a few you want to apply for.

3. You learn you don't qualify for any of them.

4. You find three jobs you can apply for.

5. You start your resume and cover letter.

6. You realize it's all garbage so you start over.

7. You revise it and send the new draft to your mom/dad/siblings etc.

8. They send it back to you and you revise it...again.

9. You attach the resume and cover letter and hover over the submit key, knowing you can’t change anything once you hit that button.

10. Have an existential crisis over what to do.


Do you really want this internship? Will it really help? Is making copies really going to jump start your career?

11. Decide yes to all these questions because you need a job.


12. Hit Submit and wait agonizing weeks to hear back.


13. Do it all over again.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
