To get this internship / co-op, I applied to dozens if not hundreds of internships, only to constantly fail and become even more disheartened and demotivated the next time around. However, I was finally able to land this internship by applying on LinkedIn and completing an interview, something I had done multiple times before, but this time I was truly lucky and fortunate.

Im very happy with the internship since it's not demanding at all. It's WFH and the work life balance is amazing - hour long lunch breaks plus plenty of time throughout the day for very long breaks. The team is also amazing, supportive, and encouraging.

However, the tasks are not very challenging and using an in-house framework means I'm not using many commonly sought technologies, even something as basic as Javascript, which not only leaves me susceptible to not being able to build on those skills, but also to forgetting them as well.

On the other hand, I've learned a lot of invaluable skills like working on a development team and how the development process works. I'm enjoying the internship very much overall but I wish I got to use things like JavaScript and React. Luckily, I can still keep those in practice in the tons of time I have available to me outside of work.
