YouIntern Pairs Co-Eds with Agencies

To drum up some business, YouIntern — which launched in February — is giving a $10 iTunes gift card away to one lucky person who registers on the site.

YouIntern is where ad students and creativity-starved agency execs can find one another. (Just … not in the craigslist hook-up sort of way.) We love its simple but totally self-entitled “Freedom from coffee and copies” manifesto.

Agencies can post internships and give advice, like the CSO of StrawberryFrog does here. And internships can be rated. Modernista, for example, scored a 4.4 out of five.

College students can find gigs by review, role, state, experience and compensation. The search engine is surprisingly good — there must be a salivating engineer back there just waiting to cash in.

There’s just one issue: why so heavy on the red? You practically need to take out an insurance policy just to look directly at the page.

I’m 73 and I realized the reason I watch so much television isn’t because I enjoy it — it’s because the voices fill the silence in a way that doesn’t require me to admit I’ve spent the last four years without a single meaningful conversation with someone who isn’t related to me by blood or marriage

I was homecoming queen, sorority president, and the bride everyone wanted at their wedding — and at 73 I sat in my car after a party and cried because I realized I had spent decades being exactly who people wanted me to be and I had no idea who I actually was

My adult son called last Sunday and talked for forty minutes about his promotion and his new house and his kids and then said “anyway how are you dad” with ninety seconds left in the call — and I said “I’m good” because what else do you say when you realize you’ve become the commercial break in your own child’s life

I’m 66 and I’ve been disciplined about everything my entire life – diet, exercise, savings, career – and last Tuesday I realized I’ve never once done something purely because it brought me joy without immediately calculating whether it was also productive or healthy or advancing some goal

I’m 73 and I can tell you that the loneliest thing about getting older isn’t the empty house — it’s watching your children build traditions that don’t include you and pretending you’re happy for them because the alternative is becoming the mother who made it about herself
