Internships can be a topic that causes stress. So much stress. Especially, during Junior Year of college, finding *that perfect internship* was extremely important. Looking for internships, editing resumes, writing cover letters and sending in application after application and not hearing back or getting rejections. It is not a super fun process, and I started doubting myself.
Why do these companies not want me as an intern? Is my resume not good enough? Do I need to improve my cover letters? It seemed that everyone around me was getting all these incredible internships.
And I felt lost.
Eventually, I did hear back from companies and I ended up securing an internship that I truly enjoyed.
It is difficult to not compare yourself to others sometimes when it seems that everyone is succeeding and you are left behind, but these are the exact moments where you have to keep trying and eventually, it will work out.
