Summer Plan?...

School is going to be out in like a month. I am so excited – this is going to be my first summer not taking classes in forever! No school from mid-May until September is going to be, like, unbelievable! I don’t even know what I will do with myself with so much time on my hands. I wish I wasn’t such a procrastinator and really got on the ball with trying to find a summer internship. That would be sweet. I need something to put on my resume, it’s like all I have going for me is that I can hold a full time job, and I will have a Bachelor’s degree. But, I don’t have any experience in my field at all. I was pretty discouraged to hear when I went to my advising appointment that the graduate program that I am interested in – Clinical Psychology – is one of the most competitive programs to try for. I just feel super disadvantaged because I work full time, so I don’t get the opportunity to participate in things like “psych club”, or any other extra curricular activities that regular undergraduate students get to do. Sucks. I’m screwed. See, I sit here and complain about this stuff, but do you think tomorrow I will research places that offer internships that I am interested in, update my resume, and start applying? Make some phone calls maybe? Reach out to my resources? Nooo, of course I won’t. Ok, so I am making a goal for myself: this weekend I am going to set aside time to make sure my resume is updated and in good form, design a fitting cover letter, find at least 5 places that offer internships, submit my resume, AND get the numbers so that I can call to follow up next week… Yeah, now, let’s see if this actually happens…
