25 Intern Memes for the Overworked and Underpaid

Being an intern is a humbling experience. When I was in high school, I landed an internship at a fashion magazine and thought I was living the Devil Wears Prada dream. In reality, I was just free labor for a struggling startup that needed all the help and exposure it could get. You'd think by 2025, unpaid internships would be a thing of the past, but nope. Somehow, they still exist. On the flip side, if you've ever supervised interns, sometimes you're glad they're unpaid. The amount of lingering, excessive questions, and straight-up entitlement some college kids have these days is mind-blowing. You'll give them a simple task, and suddenly, it turns into an existential crisis. Of course, not all interns are bad, but some of them could use a little humbling. Whether you're an unpaid intern or dealing with one, these memes are for you.
