Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I will be blogging my adventures in New York City as I intern this summer at PwC. This will be a place I can reflect on what I learn and who I meet at my internship, as well as a place to document the things I do in New York. I hope to post at least once a week with updates and pictures.

July 4th Break

-
During the entire week of the 4th of July, PwC closes its offices, which means I got an entire week off. On the first weekend, I went to the New York City Pride March. The march this year celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots in NYC. I went to an exhibit at the library and learned more about the riots and the evolution of the gay community in public throughout the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The march was a lot of fun. We first went through the company booths and got a ton of free things- mostly rainbow colored. Then we watched the first two hours of the parade. It was mostly city of New York organizations. Because it was so hot, we went back to the dorm and hung out until about 5 when we decided to watch the parade again. When we went back out, there were a lot more floats we recognized of brands and companies. We even got to see the cast of Queer Eye on the Netflix float and Neil Patrick Harris and his family. The next day we met up with some friends from Ohio State at th...

Impact at Disney World

-
At the end of every internship, PwC hosts the Impact Conference at Walt Disney World in Florida where every intern in the United States goes. I got to the resort on Monday afternoon, and after I registered I quickly put my bags in my room and got on a bus to the opening ceremony. On the bus I sat with someone from Ohio State who I haven't talked to since the first week of my internship. So it was nice to catch up with her. At the opening ceremony I met up with some friends from Ohio State who were in different offices and learned about their internship. I also met up with some friends I made that summer in New York. There were a lot of fun activities to do such as a ball pit, see saw, and photo booth. There was also a Bebe Rexha concert at the end of the evening. It was a really fun event that was a great kick-off to the event. After the concert, everyone hung out at the resort. I went swimming in the pool where I saw a lot of people from Ohio State and other interns from the New Y...

Week Four

-
Week four started off with me exhausted trying to recover from my long weekend of walking, so I wasn't the most energetic. On Monday the team sat together for the day working on some controls tasks. It was nice to be sitting with everyone again, even if we didn't talk much. I also enjoyed getting assigned some work. On Tuesday and Wednesday I got assigned a couple of tasks that took me a couple of hours to complete. On Thursday and Friday no one had any work for me to do, probably because everyone was getting ready for our week-long firm shutdown the week of the 4th of July. So, I took the opportunity to learn more about the Insurance practice. I read about how climate change will affect the industry and about the processes of insurance and the difference between health insurance and healthcare. I feel like I gained a better understanding of the industry and will be able to relate that to the work I do. On Thursday I had lunch with a first-year associate and talked with him a...
