Sitting on Top of Capitol Hill

I know that summer seems forever away, but actually, now is the perfect time to plan ahead for that long vacation. This past summer, I had an amazing experience interning for a congresswoman in DC. So readers, while you're on the hunt for a new internship, take it as an opportunity to go somewhere new and exciting!

 

Since I'm from the DC area, I may be a little bias when I say, "Come and work on the hill!" You can intern anywhere from Congress to an Executive Department to a Government agency. Start by checking out the official government websites because there's usually an Internship Application section. If not, then be bold and see if there office would be interested in hiring a high intern or keep it in mind for future college internship. You'll not only get to immerse yourself in a dynamic poltical enviornment, but also get a taste of the real working world.

 

And when you're not working, take time to explore the museums, monuments, and, of course, to try all the amazing food. Every time I head back I always hit up Georgetown Cupcakes. So why not shake things up this summer? Come to DC and learn to be the next political power player.
