This semester I just might die.  Over-exaggerating?  Okay, I'll explode. One or the other.  Spring semester is starting next week, and I had this brilliant idea that I could manage to work part-time, go to school, AND do an internship.  It was all good in my head for a while, but as I'm inching towards the start of the semester I'm starting to realize that I have just signed my death certificate.

I'm graduating this year, and in order for me to graduate I have to fulfill an internship requirement.  For the past couple of months, I've been freaking out thinking that I'll never get an internship.  I became stressed and desperate.  I've learned though that when you've hit a wall and don't know what to do, you just have to run with every opportunity you see.  I've trained myself into believing that there's always a chance that I could make it rather than a chance that I could fail.  I filled out every application, went to every networking event, and got rejected along the way, but eventually it all worked out.

Even though it doesn't seem like it, I'm super happy.  Marketing is something I've always wanted to do.  My career goal is to work in marketing specifically for the hospitality industry, so I'm excited for this internship.  I still have to work part-time at my job.  The internship is unpaid and I have bills to pay ya'll, but I honestly love my job at the hotel.  This semester I'm also taking my capstone, which is the class you take during your senior year that combines everything you've learned in college into one big project.  Yep, like I said I might die this semester.  It's okay.  Last semester was really rough, so I can handle this! No big deal. I can do this .... !
