Thoughts From The Mind Of A Summer Intern
FunnyorDie

All college students have to find an internship at some point in their college career. Its like do or die with the way our society is forming. If you don't have an internship, good luck finding a career after graduation. Once you find that golden opportunity, you become a big kid. You get the lovely pleasure of working a classic nine to five job. It's like a whole new world. Here are some thoughts that go through an interns head on the daily.

1. Ugh, it's 8 a.m. I have to be at work in an hour.

Yeah, we have classes at eight in the morning during the semester, but this is the freaking summer! I don't wanna be up right now, its too early. Maybe I can come in at like noon?

2. What the heck am I supposed to wear today?

"I already wore that...I don't want to be an outfit repeater. Oh gosh, I am going to be late if I don't pick within the next five minutes." We all have that moment. Just pick an outfit though. No one really cares.

3. Breakfast...It's still too early...

I sit down to eat breakfast every morning, and I think to myself, "Why??" It takes me a solid few hours to fully wake up. It is in your best interest to just smile and wave when you pass me.

4. Walking in to the office.

No, no, it is OK, no need to say hello to me. It's not like I have been working here all summer. You probably don't even know my name. It's fine. I'll be gone in a few months, and then in with the next interns.

5. Hell yeah! It's lunchtime!

What is my favorite part of the day you ask? Lunch of course! It is the half way point of the day which means in one hour I will only have four hours left, and then I can go home.

6. That 2 p.m. feeling...

When will this day end? I'm just gonna take a quick power nap...no one will notice! OMG, it's only two o'clock!? This is just crazy.

7. Only one more hour!!

I got this, only one hour left! This is so exciting. In exactly 60 minutes, I can clock out, and I am free! FREE!!

8. I'm off! Totally done for the day!

Ahhhhh yes! I am off for the day! Thank the lord. Wow, what a long day. I am so happy to be off. Time to go home!

9. Ah finally home!

My bed was calling my name all day. This bed definitely was not as comfortable this morning. I never want to leave this bed. Time to relax!

10. I don't want to cook, I just want to sleep.

I'm really hungry, but leaving my bed doesn't seem like a good possibility. I think I'll just stay here. Yeah, breakfast will come soon enough. Or maybe I'll just have cereal for dinner?

11. Gotta do it all again tomorrow.

Well today was a good day, but I have to do it again tomorrow? Why me?? Can I please just have a normal summer? Looking on the bright side, at least I will have a kick-ass resume.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
