Reflection: The last week of my internship was I guess you could say, very uneventful. It's not like we had an influx of surveys coming in so the only special day was on the last Tuesday the 27th. Sarah took me out to lunch at Bojangles (because she asked where I wanted to go). She thanked me again for all the work I did and we had another very informal conversation. We talked about school, college, relationships, friends, work, etc. I view her has a mom figure in a sense. I can open up to her about anything because I trust her and we're good friends.

The entire internship experience as a whole was... kind of boring. I did a lot of repetitive things, but that's work. The people and fun parts were obviously "fun", but the work part I didn't like. If I could go back and do it again I would probably have chosen another internship that would've been more related to something I wanted to do (like physical therapy). This internship still taught me some things. I don't want to do grocery as a career, I don't want to be behind a desk all day, and I got a lot better at time management. So even though I didn't like it, it was still better than no internship at all.
