Stressors Of Landing An Internship

I may or may not be on the verge of a breakdown.

Stressors Of Landing An Internship
The Little Mermaid

We are young, bright eyed 20 something-year-olds so excited to fill ourselves with college wisdom. We are on our high horses because we have no rules, we have no bedtimes or parents to text where we are.

Then we get a sharp bitch slap from this thing called life. As if balancing classes and a well-managed diet isn't enough we hear the ominous words of J-O-B and I-N-T-E-R-N-S-H-I-P creeping upon us. When did that happen and when will it stop?

News Flash: That monster has just moved in and is renting a permanent spot in your conscience.

1. What's a resume?


Can a skill be "Good at Googling"? Can my mom vouch for me?

2. Getting torn apart by professionals sharing their insight on how to improve your "self-brand."

AKA get your shit together or you won't get hired anywhere.

3. Where to start? Nobody wants to hire someone with no experience. Yes, well try these websites, they help!

Take advantage of LinkedIn, they post jobs/internships all the time. Make connections and don't be afraid to ask for some help:

Indeed.com

Velvetjobs.com

Simplyhired.com

Worse comes to worse, Google: (Desired Job) Internships

4. Freaking out because you are realizing you can't wear yoga pants or clubbing clothes to a job interview...


To the mall we go!

5. Second guessing everything and their mother because who knows how many other people are applying for the same thing.

Oh...competition.

6. Waiting for somebody out there to respond to your desperate attempt to be an adult while you sit and wallow in self-pity.

This is the crucial stage where getting your mind off it will help your sanity.

7. Where do I live? Will I survive if this is not paid? Am I a hobo? Who will do my laundry?

I'm too broke for a maid.

8. Hello, life, yes, I can't face you this week. Can you come back in like, five years?

I won't be adulting today.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
