Trying to find a summer internship that is both engaging and relevant isn't easy! We've all done the ominous search, and here are 11 thoughts we've had while searching for a summer internship.

1. Look at all these internships, I can totally get one

Then you realize that you need to filter out all the internships that aren't your major.

2. Wait, maybe not

You click on the internship, get excited by reading the description and realize it says: SENIORS ONLY

3. What the fuck??!!

Then you actually find the internship of your dreams. Wonderful company, you have all the qualifications and then it says UNPAID.

4. I'm shook. I need money.

So, now you search for internships that are paid and find another internship that isn't as perfect but will do. However, it doesn't clearly state if it pays or not.

5. Mom, if it says "can give college credit" does that mean it pays???

Your mom says that means it doesn't pay. You are hoping she's wrong and send in your resume.

6. Mom has been wrong before, I hope I get this

You've heard nothing and you're starting to feel hopeless.

7. Ugh, why don't they just respond??

Once you've hit rock bottom, a glimmer of hope appears. The internship you asked your mom about calls to set up an interview

8. YAYYYYYYY! I'm going to crush this interview

In the interview, they tell you that the job isn't paid, but they do offer snacks.

9. How many times do I have to say this?! I WILL NOT WORK FOR FREE

So to cheer yourself up, you go out with friends to buy ice cream and eat your feelings.

10. I need this

10.5. Oh crap, I just spent more money!

So then, you decide to just keep applying.

11. Someone has to hire me right?

I am currently thinking through #11. Someone has to hire us right?

I wish you luck on your search for an internship that pays well and allows you to buy that fun summer concert ticket.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
