Hello!
This time I'm gonna be sharing about the current turning point in my life. Finally I'm able to taste the real experience in the industry: I am officially an intern now!
It's been a month since I started my internship, and to be honest, I still think that this is not real. After facing 2 failures on previous interviews, I had no confidence and blame myself for being not good enough. But then life starts to get better after that day.

I was enjoying my "me-time", drinking a cup of coffee while randomly browse the internet and purposely looking for intern job vacancy, then I landed on Bridestory career page. and it was there. PR intern position was available and I couldn't be happier. I edited my resume a bit, and immediately apply for the position and hoping for the best.

Interview invitation email arrived! Still a long way to go, but one step closer towards the goal.

D-day of my interview. This was my third interview, so I wasn't as nervous as my previous ones (where I failed), and I was so much prepared. I came 30 minutes earlier and got some time to prepare and calm myself down. The interview went well, although I said stupid things that I'd regret for the next 7 days, but it was all goooood. I had fun during the 45 minutes of interview. It was much like.... a casual talk (?) where you can enjoy yourself while telling stories about your experiences, etc.

The next 7 days were definitely not the best 7 days in 2016 because I kept thinking about the result and because I didn't ask about when the result will be announced, I couldn't help but trying to hypnotize myself to stay calm for the whole week. Think positive. Whatever the result is, at least you have tried. That was what I said to myself.
The second week after interview, I thought I didn't get the job and already prepared myself to move on, until the morning of March 2, 2016. I woke up, grabbed my phone, barely open my eyes while scrolling through my instagram feed, then refreshing my emails, and the new email notification popped up. The next thing I remember was I jumped out of my bed and rushed to the kitchen to tell my mom. I was sooo happy and I feel embarrassed now while reminiscing this.
And here I am today, living my life as an intern and a third year college student...
(Will keep this blog updated about my internship journey. See ya on the next post!)
