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!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
