On Words & Wisdom & Corny Humor

October 28, 2014 Carolyn Nelson

My time here at RadiusOnline has truly flown by, and I cannot believe that I’ve been interning here for about two months now. When I started in August, I had no idea what to expect, or what would be expected of me, but I can honestly say that this internship has been one of the most impactful and engaging experiences of my college career. From the incredible team atmosphere, to the delicious free treats, to the opportunities and educational experiences I have been granted, I can’t imagine a better internship atmosphere, and I look forward to learning more and contributing more as the semester continues.

While I am passionate about business and marketing, I have several other interests as well, including travel, photography, art, corny humor, poetry, cooking, and fitness, and I have always been concerned that in my educational and professional pursuits I will no longer have time to devote to these passions. Through this internship, I have learned not only that this is not the case, but also that these interests can integrate with my professional passions. This has been especially evident with the RocketLevel project I have working on, where I have had the opportunity to develop most of the literary content for the marketing materials and the company website. I have been given a lot of creative freedom with this content, which has allowed me to sneak in ample space puns. I have loved this project, especially because it has allowed me to fuse my love of written language and cheesy humor with my work.

Due to my love of language, I enjoy discovering new words. One word that I have been especially keen on recently is acatalepsy. Acatalepsy refers to the idea that human knowledge can never reach certainty, only probability, and that it is more meaningful to question than to draw conclusions. Throughout the past week, I have been contemplating this word, and I think it is incredibly relevant to my internship experience. There will always be more for me to learn and explore at RadiusOnline, and I find that so exciting. I can’t wait for the coming months!

To finish, I will exit with a corny space joke: How do you get a baby astronaut to sleep? You rocket!

Sincerely,

Online Marketing Intern
