Internship Battling

It is around this time of year when it seems that college students really seem to lose their minds. Not just because of finals, group projects, and the usual hustle and bustle, but for juniors and seniors, it's time to finalize your spring schedule. Which means one thing: securing a great internship. Usually I wouldn't find this to be so stressful. But as a senior, I hope that an awesome spring internship will lead to either amazing recommendations or perhaps securing that ever elusive fantastic full time job after the impending doom of graduation. Can you tell that I am freaking out about becoming an actual, full-time adult?!?

After going on many. many interviews over the past few years, you would think that I would have the interview process down pat. But it never fails, I always get incredibly nervous which I am ashamed to say, leads to sweaty palms. And this means that when the inevitable handshake occurs, the situation becomes quite awkward.

In fact, one of the best bloggers that I know recently posted about getting an internship!! If you haven't ventured to Ramblings of a Redhead, I suggest you drop everything, whip out the Blackberry and get there now. 

At this point in time, I am proud to say that I have secured a fall internship! But now all of the focus is turned towards doomsday, a.k.a. graduation. It's time for this little girl to find a big girl job and not return to school in the fall for the first time in my 22 years of life. Am I in denial? Yes sir, you better believe it.

At this point, I am welcoming all suggestions for my job hunt. In fact, how does one even start planning their future beyond college? Do I pick a city I want to live in? Do I make a list of all the agencies that I would like to work for? Any and all help is all welcome!! Perhaps this is like deciding what colleges to apply to, just a thought. But for now, we college seniors, must focus on getting through the next two weeks of our lives.
