One of our interns last year asked me a good question: what bad habit did you overcome that helped you most professionally?
Frankly, it was hard to choose! Learning from mistakes has become somewhat of a specialty. But the first bad habit that came to mind was this: Worrying. Usually starting around 2am.
I do that much less now. In fact, hardly ever.
Thankfully, someone a while back enlightened me to the phrase “worrying makes you suffer twice” – and that clicked. Work hard, sure. Do your best, of course. Seek help when needed, absolutely! But if you’ve done all that, worrying isn’t going to get you extra credit. Especially in the middle of the night. There’s more than enough to puzzle out during daylight hours, so give yourself some grace and save 2am for sleep.
As we welcome this year's summer interns, I want to be prepared with some other good answers.

Meet Program 11 Summer Intern Ariel! She's joining us as a rising Loyola Marymount University junior, with a major in marketing and a minor in psychology.
When she's not crocheting and skateboarding, Ariel will be working with Program 11 on a variety of projects. We're aiming to expose her to all sorts of marketing activities across research, strategy, and creative so that she can identify what she's truly passionate about.
We love mentoring the next generation of humans, and we also love learning what's worked for others who have had successful internship programs. Please share your tips!
