What do you mean what are my plans for the summer?!

If you think that you're on top of your work, you are "oh-so-very" wrong. Actually, I apologize for assuming that everyone is lazy as I am. I just tend to be behind things once in a while. I didn't really think about my summer plans until this spring break. Maybe it's because I was too busy with my school assignments and whatnot but I never really thought about my summer plans. Originally, this summer I was going to take a class with one of my favorite professors in our study abroad programs at Florence. Working with my professor was my primary reason to go away this summer. Though I was pretty settled with this plan, I was still had interest in interning. Little did I know, last week my professor announced that he cancelled his study abroad class. After this declaration, I lost interest in going away this summer. I realized that I was more interested in exploring internships related to my future career while being with my close friends back at home.

So... I started my real research for internships this past weekend. Let me just tell you right now that there won't be much left to be researched by the third week of March. My advice to you is, whether you have high interest or little interest in something, go for it. My mistake was not applying for many internships while applying for the study abroad program. In present time, it always seems to be too busy to plan for the future but in the bigger picture, the future is just as or even more important than the present. By this, I do not mean that whatever you do now is not important. If anything I advocate you to worry more about whatever you do now than something that hasn't happened yet. My point basically is to not take the future so lightly especially in a fast paced world because the future is just a day ahead.
