11 Signs You Are Definitely The Intern In the Office
thenypost

We all know that an impressive internship is the essential must to landing that notable full-time offer. Internships have the power to connect you with the network of individuals, give you the experience of a lifetime, and, most importantly, break-or-break you with a particular company. The eagerness of starting your career mixed with anxiety and nerves, makes for a roller-coaster of emotions within the first week. The mix of feelings leads us into a variety of different circumstances, both good and bad.

Whether on either end of the spectrum, there is no doubt that we stand out as the intern in the office.

1. You are way too overdressed on the first day.

2. You stand by the sensor for minutes waiting for your badge to check-in.

3. You walk aimlessly around the office multiple times a day trying to find the bathroom… passing that same guy every time.

4. You sit in a full-time staff’s seat and they pretend that it does not bother them.

5. You are nervous to participate in the “Casual Friday” because you think it is an initiation trick that will make you stand-out.

6. You receive an email asking for “a favor” and return with coffee 15 minutes later.

7. You are caught Snapchatting friends the view from your downtown office.

8. You lead everyone to believe you understand training but you really just want to cry.

9. You would not be caught dead using your phone.

10. You IM your fellow interns about happy hour all day.

11. You are confident you are going to rock this opportunity.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
