When I accepted the offer for a five-month internship with my dream company for my first post-grad job, I thought it would be really easy to stay with the company, networking and moving up and out. It's definitely not as simple as I thought. I've started looking into other options - do I want to move back home? Do I want to move out to Philly, where my boyfriend is? Do I want to stay in Florida? Everything is up in the air, and it's hard not to get stressed. So what do I do when I stress? I watch The Office, and I've found GIFs to describe all the situations I've found myself in this month. Michael, Dwight, Kevin, Kelly ... thank you for understanding.
