So you managed to snag an internship this summer, despite our failing economy and the fact you didn’t start writing cover letters until April? Maybe you’re making gobs of money, but hate yourself for Working for The Man. Or you’re working at a nonprofit with a “grant” from CMC wondering how you’re supposed to make $1000 last for a whole summer. Better yet, you’re not getting paid at all and thinking about all of the awesome things you could be doing instead of providing free labor in exchange for an extra line on your resume?
Make yourself feel better by reading about the horrible lives of other interns or submit your own story. You’re not alone. Introducing FMYInternship.com.

But really, she loves news so much that she just stares at Google Reader all day long. Fun fact: she actually enjoys nagging writers and editing html -- or she just doesn't want to work on thesis. One or the other.
