    Why Internships Are Professional Dating

    You pay for them, beg for attention and then it all comes to an end. This is how internships are identical to dating.

    First, you wait for an answer.

    Then, you question not being rejected.

    You #insta tell everyone.

    You will take credit for anything.

    You do as little as possible after the appropriate amount of time.

    You happily perform useless tasks.

    You pep talk yourself.

    You develop a hierarchy of coping mechanisms.

    You shamelessly revel in everything you have ever done right.

    You out-awkward yourself to get out of a lie.

    You participate in uncomfortable conversation to get through the day.

    You do what it takes to fit in no questions asked.

    You make your first mistake.

    You play off your second.

    You do something really great and pretend it was no biggie.

    You make them laugh.

    You look bad trying to look good.

    You inevitably butcher your first impression because of nerves.

    You rejoice when it's all said and done.
