Having A Summer Internship: As Told By Tina Belcher

Having A Summer Internship: As Told By Tina Belcher

Part of being a college student means scavenging for internships every summer, most of the time unpaid, watching the "best time of your life" happen outside while you're stuck sitting in an office from nine to five. No one that hasn't been through this struggle seems to understand it, but Tina Belcher does a pretty good job of summing the experience up.

1. On the first day of work when you're feeling ready.

2. Showing up to the office in the new "business casual" outfit your mom picked out.


3. When you get home after your first day and realize how tired you are after sitting at a desk all day.


4. Getting your list of work for the day.

And then remembering you're not getting paid for any of it.

5. Trying to fit in with your adult coworkers.

6. When you come off too strong trying to make friends with the other interns.

7. When your boss finally tells you "good work."

8. When your boss says only one intern can go to lunch at a time.


And tells the other intern they can go first.

9. When you're on your third cup of coffee before noon.

10. When the new intern sits at your desk without knowing it.

12. When it's a slow day, and you're trying to make conversation.


13. When the clock hits 5 p.m. on Friday and it's time to go home.


14. Trying to refill the printer paper without asking for help.

15. Realizing you spend way too much of your time in the office.

16. When your job for the day is answering phone calls.


And your boss asks who called, but you already forgot their name.

17. When you get assigned a new project at 4:30 p.m.

18. And lastly, being proud of yourself for successfully "boosting your resume."

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
