I was going to guess Pella.

I had like a 3.5 GPA and grew up on a farm and I couldn't even get an interview w/ John Deere back in the day. :lol:

Have fun at John Deere 3maw.

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:

Was in Topeka last summer, it was okay I guess. Leaving today to go to work in Lowell, AR this summer but staying in Fayetteville. Really looking forward to this one!

Had a internship selling ad's in manhattan for zoi greek directoy(old greek telephone directory), shitty gig but it was worth it for the trip out to LA for training.

150 college kids from all over the country partying their face off for 4 days. They put us up on pepperdines campus which is amazingly ELITE, could see the ocean from my window. You would do some training during the day and then each night they would load us up in bus's and take us somewhere to get hammered for 4 hours, Santa Monica one night and Malibu the other night.

Fell in love with a filly from Iowa during the trip and we had a nice little summer loving fling that involved some trips to Iowa City.

Also shotgunned a beer standing in the middle of the Pacific Coast Highway with a couple of bros from TCU and Auburn, just to say that we've done it.

This morning, my colleagues and I, along with some constituents, were making our way over to the Capitol complex aboard the Senate subway, when lo and behold, we spotted an intern, her grey badge visible, snapping photos of herself aboard the train car in front.  Even amongst our audible laughs, the intern continue snapping away, the iPhone flash illuminating her and her badge as she continued striking various poses, oblivious to the silliness of blog-worthy actions.

That girl sounds like she was having a great time in a new city.  Just getting get career started, cherishing the memories.  Glad to hear she didn't let you ruin her time.

Internships are great.  My first one was in DC, and the one the following summer was in Orlando.  Enjoy the time and party your ass off.

I did in San Diego. But if I were to do it now I'd probably have to do it in Memphis and pretend I like it just as much. :rollseyes:

I agree with daris.  That sounds like a miserable way to spend a summer in college.  College summers actually spent at college are just the best in my experience.  Like a magical semi-ghost town full of parties and good times.  Such a great vibe.

interships...go to a new city and work at place with 10-20 other interns looking to have a good time.  Drink, make new friends, and have a good time while making $20+ per hour.  After 10 weeks of drinking and meeting new people, come back to Manhattan with an extra $4,000-$5,000 in your pocket so you can maximize your fun during the school year while all but guaranteeing yourself a :kstategrad: job when you graduate.

What a shitty counterpoint.  10-20 other interns looking to have a good time... :lol:  Maximize your fun during the year... :lol: 

You failed to mention most of the "new people" you get to meet are middle-aged ass faces beaten down by life.  Yeeeah!  Let those good MF'n times roll!!  woot

I don't think I've ever talked to anyone who did an internship where there were less than 7-8 other interns.  But I guess your right, making $20+ an hour in a stress free job while going out every night and stockpiling money so you don't have to work during the school year does sound like it sucks.
