To go, or not to go…
That is the constant question of an intern (at least in Liberia)! When your boss says, “there’s such and such meeting, you can feel free to attend,” You should go. When a co-worker says “you should come with us to such and such event,” you should go. When people invite you for lunch, you should go. When you’re invited our for drinks with your colleagues, you should go. When there’s a chance to see something/be a part of something you’ve never done before, you should go.
What if you’re tired?
What if you’re not in the mood?
What if you don’t like one or more of you coworkers/boss?
My advice: GO anyway! Put on a happy face and just GO!
