My First Internship Experience

An intern's perspective of an internship.

Wow! This place is like the TV show "The Office" – except here they seem to be getting real work done and I haven't seen any pranks yet. So then maybe it's not like "The Office". Or maybe they're just hiding their pranks from the interns. These guys definitely seem capable of pranking each other... Oh, that's another thing! These are all guys. Where are the girls here?? I wanna see a bit more pink and fashion-forward outfits! But if I have to accept the situation, thankfully the guys here know how to dress. Then again, how hard is it really when you're pairing your classic solid shirts with solid black, grey, blue, or tan pants??

Anyways, yes their fashion sense is surprisingly high, but their intellect is even higher. I mean, woah! These people are smart! Smart smart! I'm trying to soak in and absorb every word of theirs so I don't make a mistake (they seem to not make mistakes, so I probably shouldn't either). But how can I even be allowed to work with those who know way more than me?

But despite my insecurities, I go and start my day working with them (because I showed up and should stop standing awkwardly thinking to myself)... But then I make mistakes. Because I'm human. So I cry to my mother telling her how I wish I was as smart as them. In her desperation to reignite my spirit, she reveals their secret to me... "They were once human too!", she whispers, making sure no one can hear.

But obviously, the CSI was listening in on our conversation. So as of now, I'm expecting the CSI to report that an undercover smarty pants has been exposed to a member of the public. I'll probably get a phone call from my boss or the government some time soon... I think a good takeaway lesson is to never reveal superpowers over the phone, in Washington DC, near video cameras, in a building, near a fire hydrant, near someone who may be an undercover agent, and in or near America.

Thanks for reading!

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
