I have no idea whether I would enjoy it. And I have no idea whether I\u2019ll be comfortable handling all the workload while trying to adapt to the fast-paced start-up ecosystem.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But, I can\u2019t think of any better place to invest my time and effort right now than in Internshala. This beautiful website had indirectly helped me earn my first salary cheque. So, you could say that it\u2019s my turn to return the favour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, when I added \u2018<i>Entrepreneurship Intern at Internshala<\/i>\u2019 under the experience section on my LinkedIn profile (Yes, I\u2019m pretty confident I\u2019ll be able to complete my internship successfully in case that thought came in your mind), I was thinking about what I\u2019ll be writing under the description part of it 3 months down the line. Perhaps, that would be my expectation from this internship that I don\u2019t know about yet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, I\u2019ll come to those few of you who care about why I applied for this internship. Well, I have this dream of becoming an entrepreneur someday in my life. So, no prizes for guessing what got me attracted to apply for this internship opportunity. Not that I\u2019m expecting myself to emerge as a full-fledged entrepreneur at the end of it, but yes, I am here for learning the tricks and trades of running a business from the people who have been doing it for the past 3 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though, there are also some other pros here that I had considered. One of those being getting rid of the depressing I-don\u2019t-have-anything-to-in-life feeling in your final semester of engineering. And well, to be honest, who wouldn\u2019t mind earning a few bucks while developing your writing and marketing skills at the very least at the same time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, to sum it up, I\u2019m hoping to get the opportunity to explore the start-up work culture as well as how well I fit in in this budding business world during this 3 month-long journey that I\u2019ll share with the rest of my peers here. And I\u2019m sure Internshala won\u2019t disappoint me. All the best to myself!<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main \"><div class=\"mashsb-box\"><div class=\"mashsb-count mash-medium\" style=\"float:left\"><div class=\"counts mashsbcount\">29<\/div><span class=\"mashsb-sharetext\">SHARES<\/span><\/div><div class=\"mashsb-buttons\"><a class=\"mashicon-facebook mash-medium mashsb-noshadow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Finternshala.com%2Fblog%2Fexpect-internship%2F\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"icon\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">Share&nbsp;on&nbsp;Facebook<\/span><\/a><a class=\"mashicon-subscribe mash-medium mashsb-noshadow\" href=\"#\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"icon\"><\/span><span class=\"text\">Get&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Dream&nbsp;Internship<\/span><\/a><div class=\"onoffswitch2 mash-medium mashsb-noshadow\" style=\"display:none\"><\/div><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                <div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div><\/aside>\n            <!-- Share buttons by mashshare.net - Version: 4.0.42-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swapnil Surve, a final-year engineering student from VJTI, Mumbai with his nothing-left-to-do-in-life feeling talks about what attracted him to go back to the school of internships.
