This then got me thinking about college in general, fretting over presentations, the house on Highland Ridge and how quick those semesters seem to have flow by now that I am not living them. As I checked off more required classes on my degree plan, I spent less time studying up to the point of my 21st birthday, after which there was absolutely no turning back, or sleep for that matter. Back in my younger days (haha) I survived on fast food, red bull, and beer. :)
Junior year of college, I was a newbie in the interview circles. I had come down with a cold leading to laryngitis a day or two prior to my first early morning interview with Corning. Now, when your 19, you don't realize the importance of landing an internship. That experience will eventually be the only conversation of substance you will be able to reference when big girl job comes down the road asking what you know about the real world. You don't think about this the night before internship interview. So, if you had been me what would you have done? Gone to bed and rested up, call in to cancel the interview....? Perhaps. Instead, I remember it was a cold 4AM that morning, sitting outside on a trampoline, discussing life voiceless with several people, whom of which I can only recall was Miss Kaleigh Roberts. I got the internship. I knew nothing about anything, but because I showed up with literally NO voice, I believe they had pity on me. Six years later, I am still in the same department that internship taught me - Purchasing.
A few from memory lane...
I'll have to dig out my old laptop to get the good Freshman year ones. Hahaha
