IN SUMMARY: Other interns aren't taking leaving a summer at BuzzFeed well EITHER
It sucks
It's basically TRAUMATIC
MEHHHHH
On a final note:
I will miss the lunches, the high-tech coffee machine with a million different options, the networking and fortuity to meet people from all over the industry, the striking view of New York City from my window, (I could continue to ramble on...) - but really - I will miss my team, the exquisite, brilliant people this company has brought together, and the freedom working at BuzzFeed has given me to be a more connected, relatable, and knowledgeable human being.
Thank you for the summer of a lifetime, BuzzFeed -- for teaching me more about what I want to do, the kind of company I want to belong to, and the kind of people I want to be around while at work. I've appreciated walking into this office every single day.
