Use brief structured reflections to evaluate internships, jobs, and majors.

After each internship or major decision point, write a short reflection what you enjoyed, what drained you, and what skills you gained. Use these notes to guide next steps and refine career goals over time. Keep reflections concise and review them quarterly to spot trends. This practice turns experience into actionable insight and prevents repeating mismatched choices.
