Titus Andromedon from the Netflix original series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," is the epitome of fun and sass. An aspiring Broadway actor and "Peeno Noir" extraordinaire, Titus walks to the beat of his own drum. From various day jobs such as working as a singing werwolf waiter at a fictional themed restaurant called "Dr. Dracula's Spooky Lab & Bar & Grill," to writing and performing his own one man musical, "Kimono You Didn't: Murasaki's Journey," Titus is on a mission to pursue his dream of becoming a Broadway star. Whether we are taking part in a specific internship to gain experience in the general work world or we are specifically trying it out in a field we dream about being in, who better than Titus Andromedon to explain our day-to-day struggles and triumphs as interns?
1. Pumped up for another day at work.
You slowly make your way to the office to begin another day as an intern. You go about your day as usual. You find yourself looking at the clock on the wall in the office various times during the day. The clicks from the movements of the clock's hands seem to occur less and less frequently... Could this day go any slower? *TICK... TOCK...TICK...TOCK*
2. It's 4:30pm.
3. 5:00 p.m....Time to leave!
You've finally reached the end of the day! Time to leave!
4. You remember you have plans to go out to dinner with friends so you make your way to the bank for some cash.
You go to catch some form of transportation to the nearest bank.
5. While waiting in line at the bank, you find yourself daydreaming about all the money you have made from interning this past week.
You picture yourself lying in bed, playing in all the cash you have made. All your sweat and tears have paid off! (you hope so)
6. *Dun Dun Dun....* The moment of truth...
You type in your pin, press the "Account Balance" button and... *drum roll*....You look at the screen and *deep sigh*, you remember that you're an unpaid intern.
Well... while your other friends may be making more money through babysitting their next-door neighbors, in the end it's the experience you take from an internship that matters. Who cares if so-and-so is actually making money from their day job or internship.... YOU are at least giving yourself the opportunity to test the waters and see what type of career you may want in the future.
