22 Thoughts When Applying For Internships
One Up Automotive

It’s that time of the year when college sophomores and juniors are stressing about finding a job for the summer. While we know that we can easily find a job at the mall or at a local restaurant, we’re aiming to find a job that at least somewhat relates to our major or future career aspirations.

Either way, that long search for summer internships has everybody thinking the same things.


1. "How do I even start this process?"


2. "I guess I'll just Google 'advertising internships in Dallas.'"

Or whatever industry/location that you're looking for.


3. "Do I actually want to be in Dallas for the whole summer? Maybe I want to go home."


4. "I think that I'll just look for both."


5. "Why am I just looking in Dallas and Houston? Maybe I should be adventurous and go somewhere cool."


6. "Who am I kidding? I would never survive in a big city by myself."


7. "Dallas has a lot of options, so this is a good start."

8. "Wait, that deadline already passed."

9. "So did that one."


10. "Now I'm never going to find a job."

You take a two-week break from job hunting.


11. "I don't want to work at the mall."

12. "Focusing again. Maybe if I just keep scrolling through search results."

13. "This looks promising."


14. "I hope that I'm qualified for this job!"


15. "Does my resume actually look good?"

16. "OK, I think that this looks good."


17. "It's good enough."

18. "Alright, it's time to start filling out the application."

19. "Upload cover letter here? I've never written a cover letter in my life."


20. "OK, I've finally uploaded my resume and cover letter and answered all of the questions."

21. "This should be good enough, right?"

Click submit button reluctantly

22. "Now to repeat the process 20 more times."

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.
