Hi ThinkTalkers! Believe it or not, we’re now in the last stretch of summer break which means that most of you are probably soaking up the last few days of freedom before the school year starts up again. For me, this also means that this will be my final blog post as my summer internship here at ThinkTalk comes to an end. As I sit here and write, I wonder to myself… where has the time gone?

Although I’ve only spent a few weeks interning here, it has definitely been an amazing experience working in such a positive and upbeat environment. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a great staff that has not only fed me an endless supply of cookies, but has also encouraged me every step of the way. Yes, to indulge in delicious treats, but to also have high hopes for the future.

As young college students, you will inevitably spend a majority of your time building up a resume. In order to do this, it is vital to gain work experience by seeking out all sorts of academic internships, study abroad programs, and odd jobs. Always keep in mind the solid relationships you form, and to keep your head held high. The combination of the gaining power of a college education, and experience in the workplace will benefit and mold you into the professional and collective individual that you dream of one day becoming.

Even though I may be moving on, I know that I am also “movin’ on up.” Tears and all- best of luck!
