2024 Advertising Intern Blog: Week Eight

To everything there is a beginning and an end. Sometimes, that’s a difficult fact of life. Today is the final day for most of the CosmoGirl Project 2024 interns. Dawn, the NBA intern (who also happens to be my roommate), and I will be staying for two more weeks to finish our internships. So, I wasn’t really thinking of this week as the last week of the program, but I was mistaking. I usually have a problem with realizing when things have come to an end. That is definitely the case with the Project 2024 program! It zoomed by so quickly that I can’t be believe it’s wrapping up so early.

Last night, the Project 2024 interns had a final dinner with Senior Editor Tara Roberts and Editor-in-Chief Susan Schulz. We shared stories of all sorts about our internships – funny, depressing, empowering. Throughout the internship program, we have all been very busy shaking up our workplaces. So, we don’t usually have the chance to hang out in one big group. It was refreshing to come together and hear about the other girls’ jobs.

At that dinner I realized something about endings – they end when you want them to end. CosmoGirls, this is just the beginning of the Project 2024 program for us. Let’s not think of this as the end of our program; let’s remember this as the parting point for our futures. We will look back on this experience as our springboard into the real world.
