20 Things You Know To Be True When You Work For Odyssey

I know I know, I wrote about this last week... But I just can't help talking about it.

Working as an intern, especially for a company that is expanding as fast as people in New York City walk, can be hectic. There is always somewhere that you need to be, someone that needs your help and each person you meet is just as awesome as the last.

Being an adult is very hard, especially when you're in that awkward in between phase when you're working but you haven't graduated college yet. Internships are great because they show you a glimpse of what real life adult-ing will be like.

As stressful as the #internlife can be, there are 20 things that you know to be true, that also reinforce your love for the job. And these 20 things are even more true, if you have the privilege of working for Odyssey...a.k.a the best place to work. No, but really we have won awards, look it up.

1. Freedom of fashion is a plus.

Having the ability to wear a dress and heels one day, and a graphic tee with jeans the next day is an added bonus. Dressed up or down, you're rockin' your own style either way.

2. You have started typing on your computer like this...

3. The word "dope" is becoming a crucial part of your vocabulary.

4. Work hard, play hard is a way of life.

Sure we all like to laugh and have fun, but business means business.

5. You have brought an entirely new meaning to the word trolling.

Only the few, will know what I mean... #psychooutreachforever

6. Arriving at 6 a.m. for fear of missing something important.

7. You get to be around smart, awesome and again dope peeps all day.

8. WeWork offices are unlike any other office space.

Cubicles? No thank you.

9. Getting upset when the fruity water isn't put out that day.

10. Being afraid to take a 10 minute lunch break for fear of missing yet another important event.

11. But also having to take a 10 minute sanity break so that you don't lose your mind.

12. Making a To-Do List for all of your To-Do Lists.

Major key.

13. Learning that the art of email is in fact dead.

Face-to-face IS always best.

14. Having five back-to-back five minute long meetings.

15. Constantly checking the group chat to see what's up.

16. Drinking eight cups of coffee before noon.

17. Having someone come to you, and closing your laptop because you're working too much.

18. Having a view that is second to none.

19. Becoming so comfortable with Google calendars, G-chats and the entire Google system that you could probably design it yourself.

But really...

20. Having to constantly remind yourself that this is real life, and as dope as you think you are, your company is 10 times cooler than you.

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.

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.

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.
