If you are going into an Internship I want to give some words of wisdom on internships because I’m currently in mine.

  • Always take a bag to prepare for the worst
    • Have a bug purse or bag and take things like perfume and deodorant in so that you always have a backup
    • Have an extra set of clothing in your car. Underwear and everything!
    • Take sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer
  • Create a period kit and keep that in your car
    • Have pads, panty liners, extra underwear and some Tylenol.
  • Remember that you are just an intern. Stick to yourself try not to get into anyone business because some people might have the wrong motives.
  • Keep a log book for the days that you are there
    • In this book write down everything that you did and you has observed that day and make sure you document your hours.
  • Stay in touch with your advisor
  • Have a count down until you graduate!
