sharkfighter 8 months agoLOL Day 21, no one talks to you except the supervisor. I experienced this while volunteering, like an internship except I can come in and quit whenever I want. The other staff just walked pasted me quickly. One person would say hi to me, but again she would walk out of the room before I could say hi back. The one time I didn’t bother she stood there until I acknowledged it. WTF? I didn’t want to work there anyway and just asked the supervisor for advice, activities to gain experience, and references for scholarships. When I felt I got all I could get I left. My other volunteer and internship experiences were better.

ladyarwenblack 8 months agoReplace “hamburger helper” with “ramen noodles” and, yeah, this is pretty accurate.

K.Ova 8 months ago1. If you’re an intern somewhere you shouldn’t have a rent to pay. I made sure i was living at home. 2. Ground beef is expensive. Hamburger helper, hold the hamburger. 3. If you’re waiting until day 78 for ppl to say hi to you, you’ve lost the game. After 10 days everyone should know who you are and why you’re there. C’mon fellow Gen Y’ers.
