I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!!! Not at Google or Morgan Stanley, but at a unique place with the nicest people and rooms to grow — Estee Lauder Companies. It owns 25+ beauty brands and has branches all over the world. My role is ‘Data Science Intern’, but basically I’m analyzing tables and comparing data. A girl from GDSC referred me and helped with my interviews. I appreciate it so much:> I was doing online courses on Excel and Power BI during the summer, preparing myself for this role without knowing. 😇

Working full-time is not a game. It’s hard to manage time, energy, food, workout, sleep, and social life. After working my brain for 8 hours, I just don’t want to do anything. I had a lot of training which drained my energy in the first week. Now I’m doing some tasks by myself so I’m feeling less tired and getting used to the company, office, people, and tasks. There’s an opportunity to get a full-time offer when I graduate, so I have to do my best.
I’m so grateful for my few close friends here. They don’t compete with me or exclude me. They truly care about me and try to help with everything. I realized how lonely and alien I used to feel when I was a teenager. I felt like I didn’t belong to any group. Now I see how different people are, how they can change and stay the same over time, and how it feels to be with the right people who make me feel safe and comfortable. It takes a long time to understand what it means to “be yourself”. There will be people who would love me just who I am without any filters. Healthy relationships bring happiness in life, not many friends I would make with a fake smile.
Lately, I’m trying to be more minimalistic. I need to have a few essential things that I always use, get rid of the things I don’t use, and stay on a budget. Now I live in a small room and my things don’t fit anymore — it makes me stressed. I feel more productive, free, and calm in a room with space. But social media makes us feel inferior that we ‘need’ some stuff to be on the same page as others. Bullshit. I’m happy with my iPhone 11 ✌️
My plan for the rest of this summer: Do my best at work, learn to focus on one thing without distractions, have less social media/toxic people, eat healthy, do workouts, read, courses on Python and SQL, be minimalist, and save money. The most interesting parts: Taylor’s concert in Poland and travel to Moldova:>
All is well
Btw I went to Ed Sheeran’s concert, IT WAS SOOO GOOOOD. I still can’t get over that evening. We bought the tickets a day before for 25 euros 😊 I was singing and shouting most of the songs. The old songs like “The A Team” made me feel nostalgic. I was a small girl when I used to listen to those songs and memorize the lyrics without understanding the meaning. I realized how much I’ve grown up and built a better person over time. I really wanted to cry but didn’t, keeping my tears for Taylor 😎
