Summer Internships As Told By Kelly From 'The Office'

For many of us, summer isn't exactly a vacation. From searching and interviewing for potential summer internships, to finally finding (and getting an offer from) the perfect company, it's all a wild ride. Especially since I'm a business student, internships are something that are pretty integral to my college experience, but many majors and career paths involve being an intern at least once or twice. Internships are an awesome way to learn, get some hands-on experience, and network with companies that you might like to work for someday. It's also a bit of a slap in the face from adulthood. Nevertheless, getting to be a real-life 9 to 5 employee for a few months in between semesters is a blast.


Waiting to hear back after interviews.


Getting rejected from more than a few places.


Finally getting an internship offer and accepting it.


Getting to feel really adult and saying, "I can't, I have work."


When your boss asks if the interns want to sit in on an important meeting/go out to lunch/do anything cool.


Attempting to tell your friends and family about something that happened at work.



When you have to do classic intern tasks like getting the mail and coffee.



When your boss starts asking about your personal life.



When you actually put some effort into your outfit for work.



When you have back-to-back meetings all day.



Accidentally overhearing/getting involved in some office gossip.



When your family and friends ask if you're learning anything there.



When your boss tells you that you're doing a great job.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
