intern life: unpaid and unwell 💀

OMG, y'all. Is it just me or is this 'unpaid internship' thing actually just... unpaid labor + mental breakdown lite? 😩 Like, I'm working 9-5 (sometimes 9-7 cause 'passion'), learning *so much* (how to make coffee and format PDFs), and getting *zero* pay. My bank account is crying, my therapist is booked, and my sleep schedule is non-existent. Send help or instant ramen recipes, pls. 😭 #internlife #unpaidandunwell #genzproblems #burnoutisreal #someonepayme

PREACH! Literally, I thought I was alone. My 'experience' is just contributing to my landlord's yacht fund, indirectly. My 'wellness' currently consists of staring blankly at a wall for 5 minutes during my lunch break. 🫠

Fr tho. It's giving exploitation disguised as 'opportunity'. Have you tried setting boundaries? Easier said than done tho. I just sneak snacks from the office kitchen lol. Survival mode activated.
