In an effort to take a break and do something more interesting than writing my 15-page research paper, I decided to turn to my never-ending summer internship search. These are the times when I wish I were a business major, so I would have had a secured position before I left to go across the world in January(except not really, because I might consider dropping out of college altogether if I ever had to take another accounting class).
Optimism, a quality I'd like to think is woven into my biology, is slowly declining. The downer is, I've lost count of how many resumes, cover letters, and writing samples I've sent and can very easily come up with a number for how many responses I've received in return. Everyone knows the job/internship market is tougher than ever, but I didn't think it would be this impossible!
Hoping to eventually hear some good news, I've been trying to stay on top of my game through updating my social media websites and reading about the latest trends in PR.

I started the semester with the thought that by this point, I would already know where I would be for the summer. Now I'm just hoping to hear back by the beginning of June! Although it's SO frustrating, I can't give up yet; I just have to figure a way to make myself stand out!
