Any New Year's Resolutions? It seems we are full of them in this episode and we have a LOT to say about our mental health after reflecting over our infamously long UMass winter break.

This episode, we welcome Tina! She is one of the Co-Directors of Professional Events on the WiB executive board. We loved discussing what we did over break, some habits we picked up (and dropped), and what we are looking forward to this semester. Trying to start the year off on the right foot...we'll see how long that lasts.

It's always good to reflect. No one is perfect, and we all have room for improvement. It was so great to hear from Tina who is interested in event planning but we think she could be a therapist instead. Tune in to hear more about our crazy breaks! Oh, and happy (late) Valentines Day, we love and appreciate all of our listeners 🫶

Hi everyone! Tune into our last episode of the semester, as we wrap up finals and transition into winter break! Learn about our takes on the finals grind, all things holidays, and our UMass betrayal list! Hear our stories, hot takes, and debates as we wrap up 2025 and welcome in the New Year. See you next semester!

We hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving and scored BIG on those Black Friday deals! 🦃🛍️

Now that the holiday chaos is over… finals season is officially here. So while you’re studying, procrastinating, or heading home from a long week, enjoy this week’s episode and good luck on your finals! You’ve got this. 📚✨

In this episode, Rebecca and Victoria dive into all things internships.

Victoria shares her experience with a more traditional internship and working in a corporate setting. She shares important details of all she wish she knew going into this new experience.

Meanwhile, Rebecca’s path looked very different. She talks about working in the marketing department of a civil engineering firm as a high school senior, and later doing marketing and event planning at Park Theatre, an event venue. No intern group, no onboarding buddies, she was a lone wolf, the youngest one in the building, figuring it all out on her own.

Together, they compare their wildly different internship journeys from interviews, commutes, coworker relationships, behind-the-scenes moments, and day-in-the-life realities to show that no two internships look the same and everyone’s path into the professional world is valid.

Tune in, get inspired, and laugh along with us as we break down the good, the awkward, and the unexpectedly chaotic sides of being an intern. 🎙️💼✨

Tune in for an exciting episode with our very special Co Presidents! Get to know a little more about Grace & Ainsley as they share about their lives as presidents and OOO. We hear great insight on how they navigated their college journey and balance their busy schedules. Learn about what they would have done differently looking back on their time here, as well as things they did to make the most of it! Grab a snack and cozy drink as we sit back and listen to their fun stories!

You're in for a wild ride for the 3rd season of Out of Office with Rebecca and Victoria! 💜

We’re talking all things us, who we are, how we got here, and passionately debating corporate swag. Come for the chaos, the oversharing way too soon, and stay for the hot takes on pens, and stress balls.

In all seriousness, we are so grateful to be able to do this. It has been quite the learning experience so bare with us and most importantly, we want to be unapologetically ourselves and hope you all enjoy it!

Happy last week of classes!🏖
