I'd watch that guy that is both from Wisconsin and Illinois.  One or both of those is probably a lie.  Ask him if he knows me.  If he doesn't then he is either: (A) not from Illinois (B) a pud (C) both of those things (D) a familiar man rapist.

Bet it feels good knowing that you are better looking, better smelling and will become more successful and wealthy than your losery roommate.

had a great experience at an internship i did several years ago. everyone in the office loved me and didn't want me to go. was offered a job but didn't take it.

used to make fun of k-state's sports teams in the office.

actually externships are a real thing.  you still don't get paid, but you get class credit.

My first internship was at Westar, it was ok, just not for me (sat next to a guy that should belong in the Birther Pit, and the youngest person in my particular office that wasn't me was 8 years older than me, so good for experience, not good to relate to, and the work was living in an excel spreadsheet). Then I got an internship at the place I now work at and did that for two summers, it just was way better fit for everything. Internships are really good at feeling out what you want to do without a lot of commitment, so enjoy it and feel free to maybe go to a few other places. Also, it was nice to go into my last semester with a job offer and not having to worry about that and  :party: all semester.

I had internships for two summers making over $20/hour :kstateundergrad: and then the company hired me when I finished grad school.

Interned at the Holiday Bowl (goodnight, sweet prince). Ate lunch every day in the upper deck and watched them paint the field. :cool:

I used to get to show the intern the ropes and find stuff for them to do. we had this stud intern named charles that I was pretty much work BFF with for a year. the life of an intern is pretty great from my limited experience.

if this is where you are working 3maw, and you see a ginger 20-something with the worst receding hairline you will ever see on someone that age, tell him Rampus says,"hey"  :bill:
