15 Internships in 4 years

Intern Queen say what?!

At the beginning of one of my journalism classes, a classmate of mine pulled up the Ed2010 web page and said out loud, "This girl did 15 internships!" With my eyes wide open and jaw dropped, I said, "WHAT?!" I went on the Ed-site and couldn't believe what I was reading. Lauren Berger, aka, the Intern Queen managed to complete 15 internships in 4 years. I became overwhelmed with a mixture of emotions! I was astonished because seriously, how does someone complete 15 internships in 4 years(?); I was embarrassed because I thought my internship track record was pretty impressive (guess not); I was confused because, I wondered where her college life came in. I know I am a very busy college student. I barely have time to blog anymore! Let me digress. In between school, being a Resident Assistant, my extracurricular activities, internship, and somewhat existing social life, I find myself sleep deprived and relying on my weekends to be the lazy bum I've always wanted to be. But then, to be fooled because my weekends give me a false sense of reality. I wake up at 8am 6 days a week. That's 6 days a week of early days and late nights. Back on topic, I was excited because I think it's pretty cool that someone managed to do that and was turning it into sweet career; she helps young adults get closer to their future with internships.

The Intern Queen offered up some great interning advice! Check it out on Ed2010.com.

Well, please excuse me as I try to get in at least 5 hours of shut eye. Not sure when I'll blog again, but I hope it's... tomorrow!

"Online, no one can see how crappy your writing is (yay!)."

This my friends set the tone for the ED2010 Dot-Com Class I attended last night. The class is a two day course on well, writing for the web. I had the liberty of attending the first class--for a decent price--tonight. And I think I may have found my Atoosa Rubenstein for online writing. Her name is Rachel Sklar, Senior Contributing Editor and “Eat The Press” columnist for The Huffington Post, and dotcom extraordinaire! What I loved about her teaching was not only her energy, but her down-to-earth vibe; the lady was not afraid to admit her love for Grease 2 and Harry Potter! She also provided some very, very vital information that I think I'll start applying to Secretista.

Well as an assignment, she told everyone in the class to go home, create a blog (check!) and embed a Grease 2 video (double check!).

Now I must tell you all that I'm not a Grease 2 fan. You see, to me Grease 2 is like many other sequels; it has a what the heck(?!) factor. When we last left Grease, Danny, Sandy and the gang graduated and they all went their separate ways. Rama lama lama, it was over. Kaput. The end. But then Grease 2 which is set 2 years after the original hits you with unknown characters and only one familiar face--beauty school drop out (isn't she a little too old to still be in high school?). I don't get it! You can't recreate an epic movie. You just can't. Just like you can't recreate Bring It On four times over... oh wait, that's right. That already happened, and who agrees with me that they ruined the cheerleading movie saga? But uh, just like you can't recreate Bring It On four times and expect the same hype from the first one, you can't create a sequel that doesn't make any sense. Hmm. I do hear that Grease 2 has recently accumulated a cult following though. Well whether I like it or not, I will admit the Grease 2 video makes me want a cool rider (a cool, cool, cool rider!).
