shopping, watching a movie, or whatever. Just never relaxing at home. Probably because the apartments are so small.

Before the summer you looked forward to living that movie dream with cosmos on rooftops, did you feel like you lived in a movie?

Haha, definitely. I really have done a lot of things. And I think it is safe to say that I have had my fair share of cosmos. Lately, I have also gotten to experience more everyday-like things. Just going for walks in my own neighborhood in Brooklyn, writing the internship report in my bed for a whole day and so on.

Have you gotten to see some other parts of the US?

Actually, not really. I had so many ambitions to travel when I started, but I just never really got around to it. I was in DC for a weekend and hiked in upstate New York. But that is it.

What is the process of an internship report like?

First of all, how has the fall in NYC been? It is beautiful. The sunset over the city becomes sort of dusty. It might just be pollution, but it looks really nice. New York is really at its best during the fall. In the summer it is too hot and, in the winter, too cold. But fall is just right.

How was the internship? Did you work around the clock like most New Yorkers?

I love it. It is full of challenges, and yes, we do work around the clock, but it is perfect for me. It is not just working around the clock. I think New Yorkers are just always doing something. Always on the run. If you are not working, then you are probably out eating, training,

Horrible. The worst. I had imagined that I would write a report about the internship and how it relates to IBP. Boy was I wrong. This report is serious business. It is a 100 % academic report with everything that entails. About the practicalities of it. There is an application process. If you cannot find it, then write to Manuele Citi or the Study Board. The first step is to find a supervisor. Then you must apply. The application is fairly simple, and one can easily make an internship fit IBP. At the moment I have ongoing meetings with my supervisor, and we e-mail back and forward. The greatest struggle is to understand the learning objectives of the internship. If someone from the Study Board is reading this – for future students, can we please have a look at the learning objectives? They are very extensive when one has a full-time job, and it is not clear what the actual report should contain.

Do you have any tips for students going to New York or students taking an internship?

OMG, so many! If you are going to New York, then hit me up! I have lists of restaurants and bars and second-hand stores. Hmm, I think my best advice I to just go into the internship with open arms. Be ready for new experiences. Be ready to learn. Be ready for challenges. Be ready to meet new people.

And lastly, were your expectations met? Yes!
