Farewell, Intern Office

As the summer comes to a close, so do our internships.

It's really been quite a summer. We hope your internship has been as memorable as ours. So, now we get to look forward to the never-ending "what did you do this summer?" question from friends, teachers, new co-workers, random people who sit by you in class, relatives, people in the grocery store check-out line, your hairdresser, your boss, and that guy whose name you really should remember especially because he calls you by name every time you see him...

Anyways. Let's break down some answers to that Q that won't totally put the asker to sleep. You say "I was an intern." and when they say "oh really, what did you do for that?" Here's what you can say:

1. Went to afternoon movie matinees.
2. Hosted Office Olympics
3. Got paid unbelievably well for the amount of work you did
4. Started a blog
5. Got promoted from cubicle to office
6. Watched Olympics
7. Became a Yahoo! news expert
8. Learned the locations of all candy jars in the building
9. Hosted Benefit Auctions
10. Photoshop
11. Learned the periodic table of the elements song
12. Embraced nap time
13. Watched TV
14. Joined random clubs for food
15. Online shopped
16. Crafted the perfect paper airplane (we call it the Stealth Bomber)
17. Passed online security and driving tests (be sure to show them the awards that you printed out)
18. Became an expert at the extended lunch break
19. Made Post-It note flipbooks
20. What didn't I do?

Well #interns, it's been real. Way to "contribute" to Corporate America. Just remember, your real job probably won't be anything like this.
