18/5

My very last day of internship. 12 weeks. 3 months. Its finally time to say goodbye. I will definitely miss internship life because out of so places i work for, this one really taught me so much. I hope ill get work environment like this again in future. Actually in so many friends that i asked, how do they find this life, mostly said they hate it. Well, actually not for me. I love it because i got to be in an environment that ive never got for so long. We all cannot escape dramas or gossips everywhere we go. It is just how we are gonna handle them. Before i start nagging about internship, let me introduce my fellow colleagues who will be misses so badly by me. 

This is my high school senior who i just found out work in the same department as customer service officer. The only one who have known me better than any others in the office and can go cray cray with me while working. 

This, is my super high school senior who is very entertaining and who taught me so much. One of my very closest in office. 

The most left, customer service officer who taught me how to face customers or better known as patients. Their complaints, they way you respond to them. Thanks to her, she brought courage out of me. 

With the orange scarf, another practical student who already left 2 weeks ago. And the one above me, PR assistant who is really strong person who handle whatever hardship that comes her way. 

Them. 

The additional one who i havent introduce, customer service assistant who always make me laugh so much and she loves hashtagging like gazzillion hashtag in a facebook post. 

Wondering who help us to take this picture? But seriously, we came up with a super cray idea. Haha

Alright, i am done introducing for the moment. The only people left are the men and my head of department. 

Now ive realised, the big difference that ive come accross in internship is, like i said before, the people i am communicating with. In university, you have got your friends who is almost similar age to you, while here, most of them are married with children, they are matured, they wouldnt actually bothered much about unnecessary drama. 

Another thing to me is, it is the mindset of ours that we have controlled it to be happy. No matter how bad is your job, if you bring your spirit down, you will even hate your job. Lets put it in this way, wake up try to think of things that make you happy. Then go work with a smiling face, anything that bring you down, just stay strong. No matter how much you hate your job, if you manage to control your spirit and keep smiling, you will be fine. Just think that an experience you have to go through. We cant expect everything to go the way we wanted or our way. Ive got times that i couldnt help but to be upset and angry but i tell myself 'it is a different world i am in now. I need to be tough, take in what's good and leave the one that is not behind'. Eventually, i just continue to be crazy and have fun with work. 

You may think you're only an intern, and some employers only used you. In anoter view, you can think as 'because i am capable enough, they let me do it'. Even if you do photostating everyday, take it as you can be more pro in handling photostat machine in the future. 

What if to those interns who literally get no work at workplace. The fact is, you might get bored, but things will be different if you take out a notebook and start watching the way people worl at a thing. Jot it down and learn from them. From there, you will gain another kind of experience. 

I have a friend who told me 'how can you say workplace got no drama? Like so many!' Yes indeed. You can never escape conflicts and dramas. The fact is, people have their own freedom of speech. If you believe that you are right, stand up and speak on your own behalf. If it is unnecessary drama, just dont bother and do your work. I feel that people who create dramas for another people is because they are too bored with their life that they want to explore other people's life or see others tumble. 

I admit i hate dramas too. I had a few in university but one thing i hate the most is having peopel to talk behind your back. Personally, trust me, ive always wanted to go and confront people but i know some are just too sensitive. Do i hate you when you tell me the truth? Hell no. I never haye anyone who speak the truth to me. I only hate people who spread things behind my back.

During my intern, i had one drama which is caused from miscommunication. I am kinda part of it. Both were good friends and are my closest colleagues too. I really cant help to see both cry and all i did is, confront one of them. Guess what, they are both married woman and way older than me. They didn't go like 'ewww, you're just 21! What the heck you know?'  They actually trust my words and they say together and speak the truth. I felt so touched and i felt like at least someone trust me. These people made me feel so welcome and definitely never leave me behind. They know how to put words nicely when they have to say something to me. They know how to not hurt me by saying the truth. Because they care! Yes, i only mingle around with them for 3 months and what do i know about them right? The fact is that, not many people are able to show all that to me in thay 3 short months. What if they are just acting, well if they want to really act, then fine, ive judge them wrongly. But to have people texting me continuously to care for me even after my intern, who the hell wants to still act. They both cried in front of me and talk to me, do you think people wants to do that just for fun. 

So to those that will be going for their intern, whatever you are going through, just have fun. Or at least enjoy the days because in my opinion, you will never get this chance again. :)
