Getting to New York as an intern feels like you are a fish that has been dumped out of its bowl. Everything looks the same and people tend to bump into you a little too frequently as you try to Google Maps your way around. Us "flailing fish" find it hard to breathe in our new environment as we figure out our new surroundings. Here's a look into the intern mind via some hilarious gifs.

1. Arriving and thinking... "I am the queen of this new city watch out people."

2. After eating too much at one too many restaurants you wanted to "try".

3. Showing up to work the next morning after last night's happy hour.

4. Deciding to carry anything remotely heavy home since it's only a few blocks.

5. What your usual unpaid assignment is.

6. When you are just not being paid in general for interning.

7. When someone finally explains to you how the streets work in NYC and everything begins to make so much sense.

8. How you feel the locals are looking at you and everyone else with a real job.

9. How you think everyone around you views you.

10. How you feel when you open the window in the stinky and hot cab.

11. Going to that bar that all the other interns go to.

12. What your parents tell you before you go off to the big city.

13. When you finally complete a project with the other interns.

14. When you assume you will get into that club everyone talks about.

15. When you finally just accept your title as the intern.

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.
