Starting an internship in New York City can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially when it comes to balancing professional attire with comfort for the busy city pace. I quickly learned that having the right shoes is crucial; alternating between walking shoes and work-appropriate footwear made my days much smoother. Packing essentials like a notebook and pen kept me organized during meetings, while snacks helped me stay energized without frequent breaks. Fashion also played an important role in helping me feel confident and day-ready. I opted for pieces from ARITZIA, including a fresh pink set that added a pop of color to my business casual wardrobe. This combination kept me comfortable yet stylish throughout the day, which really helped me make a great impression. Sharing this experience on my first YouTube video was super fun, reminding me how important it is to enjoy the journey and not just focus on the destination. For those starting their internships or new jobs, I recommend preparing a 30-second trailer or short video intro like I did. It’s a great way to document your progress and reflect on what to expect. Whether it’s your outfit, daily essentials, or the vibrant NYC backdrop, capturing these small moments helps you embrace the real experience, learn, and grow along the way.
