Is there an Internship or two you are thinking about that you really want to do but keep putting it off? I was always interested in the news, and the idea of interning on CNN or NBC was fascinating to me, jumping of course from coffee runner to producer in all of five months clearly the way it would be. However, I realize that this is my last semester as an undergraduate, and I really have no more chances to take some of those internships that I was interested in, and in fact when I looked into taking an internship in January after graduation, they usually don't call it an "internship" and the application process is much harder.
So what did I learn? I loved every Internship I've experienced, but I've also learned that early on in your college career a good idea would be a list of interests and places you might want to work, because there is never enough time. Rank what you want for the goals you're setting after college, and also what you might absolutely love to do that may not match up with your major but it's a hobby that could possibly be a fallback later in life. Midlife crises aren't a joke, people (eh, who am I kidding).
Also, there's always the Hail Mary shot after Graduation if you want to go for it as your first job out of college. Start comparing what they are looking for and what skills or experiences you have had that could be integrated into their company, and go for it. Why not? You have an equal shot as everyone else if you are confident and passionate about what you want to do. Grab a big piece of cake, and enjoy it too!
