Almost Gone.

It’s hard to believe this is the last week before my final week at my internship. It’s time to start reflecting about what I’ve really learned over the past seven(?) months. I’m so glad I have notebooks full of things I’ve learned, memorable moments, copy practice, etc. This has been an invaluable experience. At this point in the semester, I realize that I need to spend the next few months trying to find a job, and without this internship, I can only imagine how unprepared I would be for the real job world/interview & application process.

I think one of the most beneficial things I’ve gotten from my internship is learning how to treat a job assignment differently than a school assignment. And I think this has actually helped me a lot in school. I’ve always been motivated to try in school, but now I feel like I’m even more motivated to not just succeed (get an A), but produce something I’m proud of. I’m motivated for a new reason, and it’s not an external source or incentive. It comes from within.  I wish I could say the same for people I know haven’t had a great internship experience.

I’m going to call this post quits before I get emotional. Ad Gods give me the strength not to cry on my last day.
