 Gearing Up For School8/22/2011 |
We seem surprised each year when we hit this point, as if we didn’t feel the exact same way precisely a year earlier. However, I am thoroughly convinced that this summer the rate at which time advances has actually accelerated. Whether you support my hypothesis or not, the truth of the matter is, school is just around the corner. Rather than turn a blind eye to the inevitable, take these last few days of summer to prep yourself for the year to come. |
 Turn Your Summer Internship Woes to Woahs7/27/2011 |
So you’re a summer intern. Instead of spending your June and July days frolicking on the sands of pristine beaches, nursing daiquiris, and snapping photos to instantly add to your Facebook mobile uploads, you find yourself indoors. Trapped. Perhaps in a room with no windows. Yes, you are pursuing one of your summer goals-- to advance your career and get your feet wet in an industry that inspires and excites you. But, if you are anything like me, you are neglecting another one of your summer goals - to morph your skin color from a ghastly shade of alabaster (solidified by nine months of the year in a seemingly sunless Cambridge) to a more bronzed, well, shade of crème. While you recognize that, in theory, you are doing something great for yourself, you may find yourself overcome by a sense of dissatisfaction and frustration. What am I doing here? Am I even really contributing? While some of us are lucky enough to truly get involved in our company’s work, others of us are stuck making photocopies, sending emails, and filing papers. While I have had the opportunity to actually contribute to my boss’ work, I still occasionally find myself dissatisfied. Like when I’m asked by a film producer to pick up a vanilla latte, double shot, two packs of sugar, and in return get no monetary reimbursement, eye contact, please, or thank you, I feel disheartened. |
