What About Outside of Work?

What do I do outside of work? Unfortunately, not a whole lot. After work, on weekdays, I typically only have a few hours before bed, so I spend that time cooking dinner, eating, washing dishes, reading, watching tv, etc. On the weekends, I have more time to do fun activities. As a reminder, I live alone and I have no friends here that I can just "hang out" with. It is quite a change from being on a campus of 46,000 students, but as an only child, I have quickly adapted. I find I am exploring some of my favorite hobbies that were not feasible in college, such as baking. I love to bake, and I love having my own kitchen! I also can take the bus to the beach, which I have done a few times, but lately it's been too chilly or rainy. I find I can cope with the time, but I greatly miss being surrounded by friends and people my age. When talking to other co-ops within Unilever who are placed alone in locations, like myself, we have similar experiences with a lack of things to do, mostly due to a lack in companionship. I strongly recommend that during an interview with a potential employer for an internship, you inquire if you will be placed at a location with other interns. Even if these interns are not your bestfriends, it's still nice to see a familiar face.
