You know it's bad when you have to take a break from what you were doing to take a break from your studies.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=collegecandy.com&#038;blog=860993&#038;post=48700&#038;subd=collegecandy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/passed-out-studying.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-48743" title="passed out studying" src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/passed-out-studying.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="255" /></a>I always find myself <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2009/04/21/weve-all-been-there-procrastinating/">procrastinating</a> so much during finals week that sometimes I have to procrastinate from my original procrastinating. You know it&#8217;s bad when you have to take a break from what you were doing to take a break from your studies. Needless to say, I accumulated a list of go-to games, puzzles and quizzes that would keep me preoccupied when times in the library get tough, and I&#8217;d like to share a few of those with you.</p>
<p>Your tired brain can thank me later.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/365143">The Impossible Quiz:</a> Honestly, I still haven&#8217;t finished this quiz. If anyone out there can tell me how to beat question 15, I would die for that knowledge. This one will make you pull your hair out, but my dedication to the cause keeps me coming back for more. I think you&#8217;ll find yourself feeling similarly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seventeen.com/fun-stuff/quizzes/">Seventeen.com Quizzes: </a>This site has everything you&#8217;ve ever wanted to know about yourself. Literally. Do you want to know what your purse says about you? Seventeen knows. Is your boyfriend about to dump you? Ask Seventeen. I could spend an entire 48 hours taking these quizzes and finally decoding the mystery of life.<span id="more-48700"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://jimspages.com/States.htm">Place the 50 States: </a>I always knew I was never a geography scholar, but this game was humiliating. But I challenge each and every one of you to try, because I can&#8217;t be the only person out there who can&#8217;t quite place the entire mid-western region of this fine country. Yikes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iqtest.com/">Free IQ Test:</a> Because you know you&#8217;re curious.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gsn.com/games/free/index.html?id=20">The Game Show Network Online</a>: When I study in my room, my first study break includes an Easy Mac and an episode of Chain Reaction on the Game Show Network. So when I study in the library, obviously, I turn to gsn.com to play my favorite game show myself. I have come to terms with the fact that I may never get my 15-minutes of fame on an actual games how, so I might as well live vicariously through the internet, right?</p>
<p><a href="http://sporkle.com/">Sporkle.com</a>: Sporkle has it all. Any game you could think of including one called &#8220;ClickyPanicky&#8221; that happens to be very similar to the once popular, but no longer free game <a href="http://www.snood.com/">&#8220;Snood.</a>&#8221; God, I loved Snood.</p>
<p>Perhaps I am a gamer at heart. Who knew?</p>

The one that sounded</span> <em>awesome</em> <span style="font-style:italic;">but ended up being</span> <em>awful</em>.  <span style="font-style:italic;">I had that internship.  I thought I'd be reading scripts and doing coverage, but instead, I was leaning over a rickety filing cabinet for 5 hours every day, filing bullsh*t as big Important People stepped over me and constantly forgot my name.  I also went on errands for necessary things like laundry, cappucinos, dog food, and cardboard boxes.  It was truly a monumental waste of time.</span></p>
<p style="font-style:italic;">Judging by stories from friends and colleagues, I know I'm not the only one who's done something stupid in the name of free, resume-building labor.  When CollegeCandy put out a request for a Secret Intern to write an Internship Diary, we got some truly cringe-inducing stories, but "Elisa's" experience trumped all.</p>
<p><span style="font-style:italic;">Currently, "Elisa" is interning for a big, flashy 5th Avenue designer.  Sounds awesome, right?  Well...read on</span>.]</p>
<p>&#8220;What are you doing this summer?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a marketing intern for a designer on 5th ave.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No way!! You&#8217;re so lucky.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yup. That was me. The &#8220;lucky&#8221; one. Little did I know I was in for a whole different ride.<span id="more-10003"></span></p>
<p>I enjoyed my life as a finance/journalism student at Rutgers University in Newark, NJ, but I recently got accepted into NYU Stern. So, I thought I needed to actually do something that had the word &#8220;internship&#8221; in it. I knew I would eventually want to work in the city, so this just seemed like the right start, without being too boring.</p>
<p>In search of a last minute internship, I turned to seventeen.com, and lo and behold, there were still positions open! Everyone always said that internships in the city are a good opportunity, so I applied for a marketing internship with this big Designer. I had a phone interview, and in 2 days, my boss called me back to tell me I had received the position. Ecstatic, I was jumping around telling everyone about my amazing internship in the city. However, after I received the position, I realized it wasn&#8217;t paid. Well, there has to be some type of perks, right? WRONG.</p>
<p>I wanted the internship to make me into a flashy fashionista in the city, but my dreams were soon crushed.</p>
<p>The morning of my first day, I eagerly got off at Port Authority and made my trek to 5th Ave. I entered the pristine store of The Designer, and nervously walked down the steps to my workplace. Everyone was friendly and so well dressed; I felt instantly drabby.</p>
<p>But wait, it gets better.  What was my first task?  To count bottles. Lots and lots of bottles in lots and lots of boxes. To make things worse, The Designer had recently decided to repaint her store, and the fumes were driving everyone crazy.</p>
<p>It was inventory week, of course, so I spent my whole day, 10-6, counting stupid bottles and bottle parts. Oh, and I didn&#8217;t even get to see the designer&#8230;LAME.</p>
<p>Man, if this was what I have to do to live a fancy, well dressed corporate life in New York, I don&#8217;t know if I can make it.</p>
