Life Lessons Learned

The following is a glimpse of things I learned from my internship this summer.

1. Patience is a virtue.

2. People aren't always what they seem.

3. You should always take opportunities that are placed in front of you--even if you aren't certain why.

4. Double- and triple-checking is a good thing.

5. Repetition is one of the keys to learning.

6. Friends come in all shapes, sizes and ages. And they all have something to teach you.

7. Trust is gained through time. But is vital.

8. Points and pica's are different things, but 1 of each of them is the most common.

9. We all make mistakes; luckily there is a way to fix them.

10. Normal things don't make the news.

11. Anxiety attacks are controllable with hard work and determination.

12. Honesty is the best policy. Always.

13. (801) is not correct. 801- is.

14. "10 p.m. tonight" is redundant.

15. The Standard-Examiner has 2 sections: One for Davis and one for Ogden. Both have different stories.

16. The oil spill went on far too long.

17. President Obama takes too many vacations for the leader of our country.

18. There are too many corrupt people in this world--Especially our government.

19. Paper airplanes made out of "newspaper proofs" paper fly very far.

20. "Dinosaurs" may tell dumb jokes, but they have a lot to teach in regards to life.

Today was my last day at my internship. It was bittersweet. Obviously I learned a lot more than this short list. I only hope I can remember everything, as well as the friends I made, forever. I am so grateful for the wonderful opportunity I had to work there. I will have to tell you more about it later.

When I'm not too sad to talk about it.
