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.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
