The 5 Things I've Learned From Interning

1. The commute is just so annoying. Ugh.

Whether you are traveling from Jersey, Connecticut or 10 blocks away, subways, trains and buses are no fun, especially in the summer.

2. They tell you to take lunch, but you still feel weird leaving the office and always wind up rushing back in case they need you.

You don't want to seem like you don't want to work, but you also don't want to be behind a desk all day. Dilemmas, dilemmas.

3. Basically New York is the new college campus - everyone you know from school is somehow there.

This can be great for seeing your friends and bad for seeing some people you wish you didn't have to.

4. Work is actually just as tiring as school, even though there is no homework.

Sure, you're off the job once you get home but by the time you get home you can't even move.

5. Nothing from your textbook has been used once so far.

The most important things you've learned in school: social skills, time management and being confident in your abilities are what matter in the real world, not Newton's Laws of Motion (at least not for me!).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
