After my last internship at a digital marketing agency ended in May, I went to an NY Creative Interns mixer to find another one. There I met the co-founder of a startup that needed an intern to manage their social media and write their blog. I knew what a startup was, but not much else.

In today’s freelancer economy, it’s a great idea for college students to get experience at a startup. These are my reasons.
1. They are close to your age. A lot of entrepreneurs are young, which allows for a certain rapport that you wouldn’t get in another internship. I love that I can talk to my bosses about what happened on my favorite web show, Awkward Black Girl, or that we listen to the same music.
