About the internship thing...
In February, I started looking for an internship in my town. I sent my resume to every single architectural/construction/interior design firm in my town. I got a few replies, most of which saying something to the effect of, "we only hire local students". What I think happened is that they didn't read the cover letter, in which I stated that I have lived in my town my ENTIRE life, but saw that I go to school in Rhode Island. I have had a few interviews in my field, but have contacted all sorts of people (my majors are Architecture and Urban Studies), with no luck.
I'm not having much luck with retail, either. Most places already hired their college students (I get out about 2 weeks later than the area colleges) and don't want to hire me if I leave in 2 months. I even got the gasface from Wal-Mart.
So, if there's a sob story to be told, I've got it. To top it all off, I'm not really getting on wel at home..I live in a really small conservative town that's not really going anywhere, and it's causing tension. I've actively considered going back to Rhode Island, because at least there I know I can get a job.
