What to do on Spring Break

Since I just spent four months in Europe and just moved into a new apartment, MB and I are just staying in Wisconsin for the week. While this may seen boring, I plan on making the most of it! Here are some of the best things to do during spring break!

Craft// Even if your not in a sorority, check out your Pinterest craft board and pick something to make! Spend a day with someone you love crafting, or binge-watch your favorite show on Netflix while crafting!

Catch-Up// This could mean catching up on your favorite shows, watching House of Cards or finishing a book!

Explore// Take a day trip or spontaneous road trip to a city near by or a different state! Look for fun shops or quirky restaurants! Make sure to document it too!

Even if you're spending your spring break at home, or at school take some time to relax and have fun!

What are you doing for spring break?

Ace That Internship: During Your Internship

Now that you are over half way through your internship, what can you do to really stand out and use this position to your advantage? Here are some of the most important tips that I've heard throughout the past couple of years!

Ask questions: At this point in your internship you should be asking lots of questions. Not just about the assignment, but more "critical thinking" questions! Show your supervisors that you've been picking up on things and want to know more about the industry. This also shows that you're invested in the job and are planning on actually doing something

Ask your boss to lunch or coffee: Once again at this point you should feel comfortable around your boss to ask them to lunch! You can start to build a relationship and learn about how they go to their position. It's a great networking tool and a great way to create a reference for your next internship or job. They may even help you get a job.

Keep a list of everything you do:By keeping a detailed list of what you do at each internship, you are able to use this for your resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. This can also come in handy if it's your job to update an intern folder or database.

Connect with co-workers on LinkedIn:If you feel comfortable enough start connecting with co-workers and your boss on LinkedIn! Make sure to personalize your message though! Just a simple greeting and opener and "I would appreciate connecting with you on LinkedIn", then sign your name!
