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.
