You're almost there! A few more weeks and you will be done with your first year of college. Even as swimming pools, summer internships, vacations, and family back home beckon, you have one final push before it all happens: finals.

It Was the Summer of '99...
The summer after my first-year was a memorable one for me. Being results-driven I had already started applying for internships as a way to gain experience and additional money over the summer. I spent time writing cover letters and resumes and sent them off to dozens of organizations in the Dallas area. To my dismay, the majority of companies did not respond and I received a handful of form letter rejections stating that I didn’t have enough experience. To top it off, I was leaving Trinity and my new friends behind and was heading back home to a guest room (formally known as my bedroom). Needless to say I wasn’t looking forward to leaving campus. more>>
