My First Internship Experience

An intern's perspective of an internship.

Wow! This place is like the TV show "The Office" – except here they seem to be getting real work done and I haven't seen any pranks yet. So then maybe it's not like "The Office". Or maybe they're just hiding their pranks from the interns. These guys definitely seem capable of pranking each other... Oh, that's another thing! These are all guys. Where are the girls here?? I wanna see a bit more pink and fashion-forward outfits! But if I have to accept the situation, thankfully the guys here know how to dress. Then again, how hard is it really when you're pairing your classic solid shirts with solid black, grey, blue, or tan pants??

Anyways, yes their fashion sense is surprisingly high, but their intellect is even higher. I mean, woah! These people are smart! Smart smart! I'm trying to soak in and absorb every word of theirs so I don't make a mistake (they seem to not make mistakes, so I probably shouldn't either). But how can I even be allowed to work with those who know way more than me?

But despite my insecurities, I go and start my day working with them (because I showed up and should stop standing awkwardly thinking to myself)... But then I make mistakes. Because I'm human. So I cry to my mother telling her how I wish I was as smart as them. In her desperation to reignite my spirit, she reveals their secret to me... "They were once human too!", she whispers, making sure no one can hear.

But obviously, the CSI was listening in on our conversation. So as of now, I'm expecting the CSI to report that an undercover smarty pants has been exposed to a member of the public. I'll probably get a phone call from my boss or the government some time soon... I think a good takeaway lesson is to never reveal superpowers over the phone, in Washington DC, near video cameras, in a building, near a fire hydrant, near someone who may be an undercover agent, and in or near America.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
