Summer Internships As Told By Kelly From 'The Office'

For many of us, summer isn't exactly a vacation. From searching and interviewing for potential summer internships, to finally finding (and getting an offer from) the perfect company, it's all a wild ride. Especially since I'm a business student, internships are something that are pretty integral to my college experience, but many majors and career paths involve being an intern at least once or twice. Internships are an awesome way to learn, get some hands-on experience, and network with companies that you might like to work for someday. It's also a bit of a slap in the face from adulthood. Nevertheless, getting to be a real-life 9 to 5 employee for a few months in between semesters is a blast.


Waiting to hear back after interviews.


Getting rejected from more than a few places.


Finally getting an internship offer and accepting it.


Getting to feel really adult and saying, "I can't, I have work."


When your boss asks if the interns want to sit in on an important meeting/go out to lunch/do anything cool.


Attempting to tell your friends and family about something that happened at work.



When you have to do classic intern tasks like getting the mail and coffee.



When your boss starts asking about your personal life.



When you actually put some effort into your outfit for work.



When you have back-to-back meetings all day.



Accidentally overhearing/getting involved in some office gossip.



When your family and friends ask if you're learning anything there.



When your boss tells you that you're doing a great job.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
