Last Saturday, I was crying in Butler as I spent five hours trying to fit a sigmoidal curve in Python to data points that indicated how much of the world’s fastest growing species of bacteria were killed by specific concentrations of antibiotic. I was crying because I’m an emotional mess all the time. But I was trying to fit a sigmoidal curve to data about bacterial death for reasons that are slightly more complicated.

Balancing academics, extracurriculars, and an internship all at the same time can seem pretty daunting to most students. This is why many choose to intern over the summer and focus on academic and extracurriculars during the year. Although June may seem like an eternity away in the heart of this never-ending winter, starting early on your internship/job hunt is always a good idea!

While it may seem like everyone found an internship for the summer while you were spending all your time looking through columbia buy sell memes, that’s definitely not the case.

Applying for an internship can be daunting. I wouldn't know because I'm a first-year; I barely even know what a cover letter is. Upperclassmen, on the other hand, do know a thing or two about the internship application process (many of them even pride themselves on being veterans in this frequently unpaid struggle).

"Bold, beautiful, Barnard." These words remind us of the ideals that we seek to uphold for ourselves, the college, and feminism in the twenty-first century. But what do they prescribe? The 1960s Women's Liberation Movement presents an ideology of female autonomy which promotes the image of a woman who not only can have it all, but is expected to. But this vision of a successful woman ultimately overwhelms rather than supports women in their pursuit of equality. Today, such an expectation persists on our own campus.

You've heard 'em talking: "Yeah, I've got something lined up with this amazing art gallery in Winnipeg. That's in Canada!" "My professor invited me to Antarctica to study neutrinos and penguin dialects." "I'm writing a novel. It started out as Twilight Hunger Games fan-fic, but then I added some BDSM---it's bound to be a hit among the desperate housewives of the world." As Sandya would tell you, let them talk. Don't have any summer plans yet? Here's a checklist of things you can, and should, do this summer: Experience: the pleasure of reading at least one book that isn't required for a class. Research: the possibilities of getting a part-time job in an ice-cream shop/bakery/amusement park.more Work: off those calories from the constant barrage of free food by hitting the gym. Give a presentation: of your newly fit bod at the local pool, and get your tan on. No one, unless they have ESP, will be able to tell that you weren't cruising around Cancún. Learn: how to fold a paper crane or knit. Life skills, you know. Travel: to the mall. I don't know about you, but the nearest mall back home is about 45 minutes to an hour away. Trips like that take days of strategic planning. Explore: the world of roller derby or Quidditch. Volunteer: to be a taste-tester in your grandma's kitchen. Make a Change: in your wardrobe. Put on a polo and brush your hair if you're sick of people telling you that you look like you just stepped out of an Urban Outfitter's window display. Journey: with Frodo and Sam and the gang as you re-watch the all three LOTR movies. In a row. Discover: the wonders of getting a full-night's sleep. Do something out of the ordinary: and relax. We're Columbia students--we've practically earned honorary degrees in Stressing Out by graduation. But it's summer. We are young. Just enjoy it.
