What I wish was different
The pandemic robbed me of certain aspects of the internship I wish I got to explore. I would have loved to see the office culture first hand IN THE OFFICE, rather than a virtual imitation of it. Also, since the job was remote, I felt like I was on the computer for 10 hours a day, when I know walking into the office in the morning, spending time with other interns to get lunch, shutting off the lights when you leave--its the small things that usually break up that screen time and I really wasn't able to get into a routine at all. I had to give up my SF apartment because I didn't want to pay to hole up in an apartment and live in a city I would never see due to the Stay at Home orders in California. I don't think I got the FULL experience at the company, and now as I am applying to go back, I am worried that I might make a mistake.
