This post goes out to everyone who has done at least one internship in their life, that is to say, to probably nine out of every ten people. Remember all those hours copying documents and running errands, while also trying to learn something useful in the industry? Yeah, so do I. But if you are that one person out of ten who has never been an intern, should I congratulate you or should I be sorry for you? Frankly speaking, I don’t even know.
What is an internship, you ask? Internships are not the same as summer jobs. You take up a summer job for some extra cash, and often, though not necessarily, it is not connected to your college degree. Internships for students are supposed to help you get a better understanding of your chosen field, get some experience, and meet some people. If you can also earn a bit while getting your feet wet in the industry, that’s great. However, bear in mind that not every company pays their interns, claiming that the experience they get should be enough of a remuneration. By the way, do you agree with unpaid internship positions?
Not every company makes internships about spending most of your day at the copy machine though. Those who understand the value of new team members will provide really great internship opportunities so that once your internship is over, you will be able to become a valued member of the team and will actually be willing to accept the offer.
Enjoy some internship jokes that will remind you of your intern days or help you get through your current internship. Share your best and worst internship experiences in the comments.

"I joined at the beginning of my internship under the username www (they are my initials), and all the engineer's sandboxes started to redirect to mine because of the address. So yes, I managed to break things without even writing a single line of code."

"Medicine internship is like deep breaths, ask all the questions, remember to eat at some point, and find the bathrooms sooner rather than later, the nurses are your best friends, you will get the hang of it, and if all else fails more coffee is usually the answer."

"During my internship, just to save up on food we used to wait outside the canteen and cafeteria to try to order food at the same time as our prof used to place an order and 99% of the time he picked up the bill. We used to befriend profs just so we could get free food."
