15 Thoughts When Starting A New Internship

So, when's lunch?

1. "I have no clue what to wear. What do I bring? How early do I get there?"

We all dress business casual on the first day, and show up and see everyone else wearing jeans and a sweatshirt.

2. "I have no clue where ANYTHING is on this computer!"

Getting your own computer is great, but not when you have no clue where all the files are.

3. "Ugh, I'm hungry."

Two hours in and you already ate all the snacks you brought.

4. "I can't lift this huge package."

In charge of getting the mail, not in charge of breaking your back trying to carry it into the office.

5. "Just a quick 5 minute break so I can watch all my Snapchat stories and see everyone on vacation."

You just need a quick break to see everyone on vacation in the Bahamas and having a great summer, while it's 60 degrees and raining where you are, and you're stuck in a small office.

6. "I'm glad it's not nice out so I don't feel as bad that I'm stuck in here."

At least you're inside since it's raining, even though your bed is a much better place to be.

7. "Thank the Lord. I'm finally finished with this project."

It only took you 30 minutes more than it should because one little thing was messed up, and the customer was asking questions you have no clue what the answer is.

8. "So, when's lunch?"

It's noon and the others still haven't had a lunch break. Your stomach is starting to eat itself at this point.

9. "Why is this not opening?"

Who saved this file in the completely wrong format?

10. "Dang, out of coffee."

And you didn't bring anything else to drink. Guess you'll have to be thirsty the rest of the day.

11."How am I going to get used to getting up early. I need a nap!"

You question how you ever got up early in high school, because your college classes didn't start everyday until noon.

12. "My eyes hurt from looking at this computer screen for 7 hours straight."

Not sure if your eyeballs are going to fall out or if you really need a quick nap, or both.

13. "If one more person calls 2 minutes before closing, I swear."

Please don't call right before close. You had all day and now that I'm done for the day, I wanna leave.

14. "Must. Get. Home. ASAP."


Mom is making dinner and this traffic is a no go.

15. "My bed is sooooo much better than that office chair."

You realize that it's only Monday, but are grateful for the opportunities and the money you are making.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
