It is strange typing this post, because it seems like it was just yesterday
that I wandered into Senator Brown’s office to start my internship (which just
happened to be the day of the State of the Union another thing I did not
appreciate) As I approached my last week of the internship, it hit me that this
could be the last time in my life I would have a badge that gains me accesses
to every inch of the Capitol. Outside of giving the standard tours, I never
took time to explore the Capitol grounds, so I made it my mission to discover
unknown parts of the Capitol. Despite consciously making an effort to do so and
urgings from staff to just go out and walk around, I did not take advantage of
my last week on Capitol Hill. So my advice would be take time to go and just
walk around, soak in being able to casually walk around the Capitol. I know it
sounds cheesy, but you’d much rather have that feeling of “wow I’m actually
working in a perhaps the most recognized building in the world” while walking
around the halls of Congress than while you are writing a blog post looking at
your expired id in an empty Starbucks.
