If you're in college like I am, you have probably heard about applying for an internship or applied for one yourself. The whole entire time can be nerve-wracking, stressful, and also exciting. Here are nine things you've probably done or heard if you are in the wonderful world of internships.

1. Searching for internship

Because, honestly... they are so hard to find sometimes! Plus, all the good ones are taken when it comes to your turn to get one.

2. Narrowing down the choices of places to intern


I have to make a good choice. I have to make a good choice. I have to make a good choice. I can do this.


3. Getting a call back from a place you want to intern

Omg really?! You want me to come in? For sure!

4. Preparing for the interview

What kinds of questions are they going to ask? What should I bring? Am I prepared?! I'm so nervous.

5. During the interview

Am I doing the right things? Are they impressed? Am I making a good impression?

6. When you go home after the interview and contemplate everything that happened

7. And now... we wait to get the call back from them


Wait, is that them? Ugh, toll free again!

8. Finally getting the call...

Yes, okay. Of course... I can do that!

9. ...and when you get the internship!!

And all your hard work pays off.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
