It may not be brain surgery with McDreamy, but it's still emotionally draining.

Interning is a great way to gain experience in the field of your choice and network with people who actually know what they're doing. But it can also induce a roller coaster of emotions, and while it may not be open-heart surgery, the Grey's Anatomy cast may be able to help me elaborate on the 9 emotions every intern experiences.

1. THE FIRST-DAY-INITIAL-FREAKOUT

You're in an outfit you're probably not comfortable in, in an environment you're definitely not accustomed to, and you're smiling like a weirdo. Hopefully first impressions aren't everything.

2. WHEN YOU'RE GIVEN A NEW TASK AND DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE DOING

This is probably the worst feeling ever. You have no idea what they're asking you do so you just smile and walk away and hope you can figure it out or find a nice-looking employee.

3. WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAID


*sad face*, *shovels down ramen noodles*.

4. WHEN THE BOSS ASKS YOU WHAT YOU'RE DOING

I don't know what i'm doing, but I'm giving it all I have.

5. WHEN YOU SAY SOMETHING REALLY EMBARRASSING

From time to time we interns slip and say something totally mortifying. When this happens, and it will, just shake it off and forget it ever happened.

6. WHEN YOU DON'T GET A LUNCH BREAK

And you definitely don't want to see me when I get hangry.

7. WHEN YOU'RE BORED AND TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR FRIENDS

*sigh*

8. WHEN YOU AND THE OTHER INTERNS TEAM UP

You may know nothing, you may be getting paid nothing, and you may be competing against each other for a job... but that doesn't mean you can't work together at least a little bit.

9. WHEN YOU'VE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST WEEK

Sure you may have dropped your coffee twice and messed up a couple reports, but you've made it through your first week as an intern and that is definitely cause for celebration. So go hit up Joe's Bar or your favorite local pub and celebrate the fact that you have survived.

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?

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.
