Tip of the Week: Be humble.

As we all know, we are very lucky to get such a great journalistic education at the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. We will come out of school with a great education that could put us at an advantage among other schools. It could. But it does not mean we have the experience to flaunt anything we have done during our college years. This is my first installment of "Tip of the Week," and I feel this may be the most important as you are working an internship.

Going into your first internship can be intimidating. You may also feel as if you are overqualified for an internship depending on the size and popularity of the publication you are working with. Let me tell you this to bring you down from cloud nine: you are not overqualified for any publication during your first internship. Do not go into your internship as if they should be throwing rose petals at your feet or bowing as you walk by.

In fact, expect them to not really treat you any different than anyone else. They may not even treat you that well. There could be a chance, depending on your internship, that you will be the lowest level of life in the building. So don't go around tooting your horn, so to speak.

Go in with an open mind and an open heart. Be ready to take on any project, even if that project involves just making copies and getting coffee. The internship is THE most important part of your college education. It is the best type of education you will get. Don't blow it by acting like you run the place.
