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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
