#4 Internships / Cadetships

I am writing to tell you some tips about having an Internship and the struggles you may go through seeing as I have experienced this for the past year and a half. Sometimes you will be very tired working a full day from leaving home at 7:30am and getting home times between 7pm and 11pm and then having to do Uni work after that. My best tip would be to go with the flow and not to get caught up with what you have to do, but rather think that you have a great opportunity to drive your career. It is good to keep a work/study/life balance. So I also lead in a youth group, which gets my mind off work and study. I also enjoy having family and friends time. These things help you not get too bogged down and help you to enjoy your internship. Another tip would be not to get stressed. Always be calm and act accordingly with all the to-do lists you will have. Remember to always stay positive and never give up. Have someone to look up to and to be your inspiration. I started my internship just before I started university so I guess some could say I am missing out on university life but others could say I am doing the right thing. No matter what you do, try to enjoy it!
