...and Columbus was just named a top destination (worldwide!) for the fall of 2011 by National Geographic! What a great place to be interning in...

My final senior project in college was with an international insurance company studying the effects of turnover on their organization. It wasn't long until a 5 person team became two people carrying the load. One kid even showed up to our meetings with beer...in the end...we all got the same good grade. Oh well....

I have to agree with Cheryl. It happens all the time and it happens both ways...Don't be surprised when you get thrown under the bus for a project that is failing either...

Continue to be a leader and lead the charge to get you and her a great internship. It doesn't go unnoticed that you led the effort...even if it isn't mentioned aloud.
Keep up the good work, Melissa. You're a rockstar

My boyfriend was in a similar situation for a research project. It was meant for just him and he did all the work to secure it, but it turned out to be too big for just one person. Now his two roommates are working on it as well. It seemed frustrating at first but the project did all end up needing more than one person.

I think an important thing to consider is if another commitment would affect the quality of work in other areas. Better to do a couple things well than tons mediocre.

Actually, even thought I graduated college and work full-time, the demands of my job (and the fact that I commute from another state) have severely affected the way I manage my health. It limits the opportunities for me to spend a good amount of time at the gym, and has resulted in me ordering lots of takeout and fast foods because there's simply no time to eat. Fortunately, Tyler connected me withe his buddy @yuntraining, who was able to provide me with some really useful advice on eating right on-the-go and getting the most out of short workout sessions. I've been feeling a lot healthier lately, even though I'm prone to deviatig from his advice every now and again :-)

I have definitely made my share of mistakes; but, then again, aren't internships supposed to be a learning experience?

I am not a hoarder, I swear. But, I think important things are worth keeping. Otherwise, donate it?

Re: Thoughts on Transitioning From College to Career

Very good, especially the part of "keep your energy for yourself, do not consume your lifespan for your boss part". I am agree. Don t you let anyone to consume your lifespan and your health for his company' s next 10 years development strategy etc etc. You need that body in the future, ok? Sometimes you work hard to gain money but you loose your health and the money you spent would not pay the "deposit" (of your body)

Stay wise!

I'm big on working out and staying active, but I REALLY struggle with sticking to a schedule or routine.

I've tried before work (like 6 a.m.) and after work (it's just too busy) but just can't stick to anything. I'm getting ready to start a new job where the report time will be at 9 a.m. There is a gym that I'm a member of right across the street that I could hit before work. I could also hit it after work while I wait for rush hour traffic to die down.

One thing I have found is that early in the week is the most important time to hit the gym for me. Because if I skip an early day I'm more likely to skip the whole week. Have to build that momentum...

I would have no use for it for at least the next year. Which means it going to be a piece of clutter and not a table. At that point, it would just stress me out because it's taking up critical space....

Do you think that's kinda crazy?

Re: 30 Day Minimalist Challenge: Day 26

Morgan Elizabeth — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 15:31:16 -0000

Why part with something that means a lot to you that could have some use in the future?

Re: The Internship Chronicles: You’re in Charge… Now What?

Morgan Elizabeth — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 15:26:33 -0000

I think your note on communicating and understanding each employee's responsibilities is an often overlooked aspect of any work place. If we are aiming to be effective and productive, we need to learn to TALK. Well done, Melissa!

Sorry bout that...didn't realize your post wasn't approved. I had that email address trait on a spam blocker.

The content of this page is from Men's Health and we mentioned that right at that very top of the article. Would you recommend that I remove this post?

Re: 20 Worst Drinks In America

Still me. — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 11:52:51 -0000

You could, you know, at least post the "recommended that you eat this instead of this" otherwise all the answers for the "better alternatives" are on Men's Health's original article:

Re: 20 Worst Drinks In America

Yup. — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 11:51:33 -0000

Aw, you don't like it when someone points out that you lifted the *entire* content of the article from Men's Health?

There is nothing better than listening to entrepreneurs about their struggles and successes along the way. The stories and experiences are always so intriguing....
