Admissions Office fun

I think it's been about a month since I started work in the admissions office as a Summer Intern, to continue on in the year as a Senior Intern. It's been an adventure. Though I've been working in that office for 3 whole years now, going on my fourth and final year, it's been an entirely new experience to be working in a very official position that in a behind the scenes position.

In the span of about a week I became entrusted with giving tours, interviewing prospective students, answering emails, answering phones, and showing people how to do things. Kind of crazy if you ask me. I'd say that I've done a pretty good job rising to the occaision, more so than some other people I can think of. Not that I don't love my coworkers, but some of them are a bit much.

Other than that, everything is about the same. Same group of counselors, same likes and dislikes, same filing, same being the most senior person, same goofing around in the intern office. Though I've definitely grown in my time here. I have more serious conversations with the counselors about things, like life and the office drama and alcohol. None of them question that I can drink (even though I shouldn't legally be drinking) and I feel like they really respect me.

Overall, it's the same office I've loved since my freshman year, the same office that gave me a reason to stay for so long, the same office that trusts me, the same office that puts a smile on my face each and every day. When my last days come in that office, I guarantee there will be amazing presents to go around. They've earned it.
