You would think an advertising management major would find an internship easily, right? Wrong. I started applying for internships in the Fall of 2018 and everyone answered, “Sorry, but we’re looking for candidates with more experience,” but how am I supposed to gain experience if nobody will hire me? The harsh winter came and career fairs at Michigan State University …
You will make mistakes. As I’ve started my new job in retail, I’ve learned quite a bit about myself and how I tend to learn. I’ve also learned that I will make mistakes, and I don’t need to apologize for necessarily every single one of them—though it is very difficult for me not to. I’m new, and I’ve never worked …
Summertime for a college student is weird. You just spent nine months away from home building a community of friends and learning the ropes of a foreign city, and before you know it you’re back eating home-cooked meals and forcing your pets to cuddle with you.

Last year, I completed The Early College program through Lansing Community College, and have since then been working on completing my Associates for the Graphic Communications degree. This year, I’m almost …
College is a rewarding experience. If you see it as a tool to help you reach your goals, you can set yourself up for a variety of successes and opportunities, particularly at Michigan State University. College is also demanding because your purpose as a student is to graduate, and the road to graduation is paved by managing your time correctly. An internship is a …
I have been really trying to “find” myself lately… I have recently turned twenty- one years old, moved back home, and started an internship for a job I see myself doing in the future after graduation.
