The Thought Of Landing An Internship In San Francisco Is Scary Yet Exciting

I might have a potential internship this summer for my dad's company. It's required that I have one for my minor and I am trying to work in the corporate communications. I'm passionate about communications because I really like working and talking with all different kinds of people. It is something that comes very natural to me, I've always been interested in drawn to this field.

I would be living in San Mateo which is right next to San Francisco and would be there for 2 months. Usually, I would go home to Michigan for the summer where I grew up so this is quite the change for me. This makes me nervous because I would be there all by myself but it also excites me because it would be very similar to starting a new job. It would be such a great opportunity and would excite me for the future. It would help me a lot with learning more about Public Relations and how it works with a huge business company.

I'm excited because this could be a potential future job if everything works out. It would be very cool to see what they do and how everything is figured out. I would be working with other interns and I really like that part of it because it would be hands-on working in an office. It's so scary not knowing if a job will be granted to me after graduation, and this will assist me in knowing that it's more than possible. I would be living by myself in an Airbnb and would have to make friends quickly.

Independence is difficult but, I did move across the country in my freshman year of college. That was quite the adjustment, and it has taken a lot of time to get used not going home as much as I would like but it has helped me become more independent. Walking into this opportunity, I'm definitely more confident in knowing that I have the ability to live on my own. If you asked me this question two years ago today, I don't know if I could have said the same thing.

Taking a leap of faith is something that I've learned to be okay, and I used to run far away from even thinking that way. Doing this internship, I will learn a lot about myself and will work with people that I have never met before but it'll only push me forward. The more that I challenge myself and take risks, the easier it will get in the future to take chances and make changes in my life for a positive outcome.

If I'm offered this internship, I would definitely take it because I don't think I could pass up an opportunity like this. Even though I'll be scared and the thought of going somewhere so far alone frightens me, it excites me a lot and will open so many doors for me. I've learned that change is good and it will only push me forward in life, so take a chance too!!!!

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.
