I've wanted this for so long.
For the past two years I've tried to get an internship at MTV. Two of my cousins work for the company, and are very connected. Freshman year, I was ineligible to get an internship for credit. Sophomore year I applied when the deadline passed and no positions were left. I'm worried because my first two years of school have been so focused on journalism ethics, hard news and reporting. I didn't realize production and entertainment were my passions until recently. I wish I had more experience as an executive producer for work outside of class...but I don't. And this doubt is killing me because lately, all I need is some New York City in my life. I've decided, and I've chose New York as my future. I'm pretty sure I'm graduating earlier than I expected. I really need this experience.
One of my friends just tore apart my resume, trying to be helpful. I've spent the past three hours re-working the document, and with each bullet I change, I get more stressed and with each action verb I change I get more anxious. I e-mailed my cousin last week and she said to send her my resume. Last year I was actually scared to apply. I'm sending it tomorrow as-is. When my cousin asked me about the production internship, she said "You know you'll need to find a place to stay in the city," like it was that easy--like this could really happen--like she would hand off my resume and instantly get me the internship of my dreams like that and all I'd need is to find a sublet.
Something deep in my heart excites me and gives me hope when I think of a future in the city. It's different than when I applied to school there. I know what I want now, and more importantly I know what I need now. I need my first step.
If I don't get it I'll be crushed.
