Internships are a whirlwind to say the least. They're an amazing resume builder but most definitely a struggle at times. At the end of the day, it will be worth it getting hands on experience in your desired career field.
Here is a chronology of events that WILL occur throughout your internship, as described by the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" cast:
1. When you get the internship.
2. When you wake up excited for your first day.
3. When the training starts and you're completely lost.
4. When you finally make your first intern friend.
5. When you get asked to do a tedious task to "earn" your place.
6. When you get home after a long AF day.
7. AND when you show up hungover the next day.
8. When you've been there long enough to start configuring conspiracy theories about the company.
9. When you're sick but don't want to call out and look super flaky.
10. When you get asked to stay late.
11. When you have your first encounter with a co-worker stealing your idea.
12. When you think about the daily commute.
13. When you're not being paid, so you have to get innovative for income.
14. When you realize you're actually gaining experience.
15. When you leave the last day confident in your adulting skills.
No matter how much we may joke about the serious struggles of being an intern, the work is most definitely worth it!
