Internships are supposed to be about exploring a field you want to go in and gaining some valuable guidance from a senior in that field. Sometimes those professionals are really nice and friendly and do as much as they can to help you...other times well, no one really wants to tell those stories.
Imagine you're learning how to swim would you prefer a teacher who gives you arm floaties and gently shows you how to float on your back in the shallow water? Or one who pops your floaties and tosses you into the deep end?
I got the latter type of supervisor... so I decided.
(ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧Fuck this shit.
All I've really learned from this internship is that I never NEVER never want to work in local government. There so much back and forth between departments, red tape and in general everyone with an once of power is on edge about budgeting. Please tell me this isn't what the corporate world is like. I had no idea this internship would be so bad but a week in I was already getting some queues.
Anyway, I've given my notice as per my contract for the end of next week. Its honestly one of the best feelings in the world to stop doing something you hate. I've wanted out since around week 3. How I managed to push myself to continue until this point is amazing. I had been going on road trips and weekend adventures with my friend from undergrad who is interning in a city 4 hours away. I think its that "light at the end of the tunnel" that really helped me get through the week. That and I started watching Running Man on Wednesdays instead of on the weekends.
Another reason I wanted to end it early is because I'm going to go visit my twin in San Francisco. She is interning there and I have been wanting to visit, see silicon valley, go to a cat cafe (despite my allergy), etc. We're going to drive down to Los Angeles for the weekend and go see the LCS quarter finals o(≧∇≦o)
I can't wait to meet TSM and Team Liquid <3
P.S. I don't think you can call it quitting when it increases your quality of life. I'm much better off not being in that place.
