20 Thoughts You Have During The Internship Search
koreaittimes.com

In college, the summer is a precious three months in which many of us hope to land a good internship, get some work experience and make enough money to support us for the rest of the year. Though this might sound like an easy enough task, the process of finding an internship is miserable, especially as a junior. Just so you know you're not alone, here are some thoughts everyone has during their internship search:

1. I am so qualified.

2. JK, why would anyone ever want to hire me?

3. Maybe I’ll just spend the whole summer traveling.

4. I will die if I don’t get this one internship.

5. There is nothing on my resume.

6. How casual is business casual?

7. Cover letters will be the death of me.

8. I don't think I can talk to another recruiter ever again.

9. What does this company even do?

10. I nailed that interview.

11. I blew that interview.

12. How many emails is too many emails?

13. I will literally work anywhere at this point.

14. Somebody tell me what to do with my life!

15. Should I reformat my resume? Yes I should.

16. What if I don’t sound friendly over the phone?

17. Where is the least weird place on campus to do this Skype interview?

18. This internship is the one I can feel it.

19. Fine! I didn’t want to work for you anyway!

20. Somebody please hire me.

Though the process can be painful, you will reap the benefits of your hard work in the end. You got this!

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.
