The last Friday of CSSI was filled with many moments of laughter as we enjoyed our last day at the Seattle office and then joined in on a Google summer picnic. In the morning, we had some free time, so we took advantage of the shuffleboard and foosball tables until lunchtime.
We were lucky enough that our final day at Google coincided with Google's annual Summer Picnic! We, along with summer interns and Google engineers, were invited to Vasa Park to enjoy an afternoon of food and fun. I think the pictures speak for themselves:
We had an amazing afternoon at the picnic; it was the perfect way to enjoy our last day in Seattle. Later, we headed to University Village a final time for some post-birthday crepes (as my actual birthday had been spent madly coding!). It was the first time I'd ever had a crepe, and it was fantastic.
Finally, to end off the night, we finished watching The Internship! It felt fitting to watch the movie after CSSI as the next step for us is (hopefully) an internship at Google, but we laughed at how funny they depicted the whole internship process.
Next was when the goodbyes and sadness began, as many people were leaving early in the morning the following day; many hugs and best wishes were exchanged. Carrying over into the next morning, having to bid farewell to new friends whom we'd just spent so much time with over the past three weeks, it was sad to think that it would be a long time before we'd see each other again. Not only was CSSI itself incredible, but we were able to meet so many amazing and talented people along the way, from fellow CSSIers to the many Google interns, instructors, and other employees who helped us throughout the program. While I've taken all the new experience and knowledge that I have gained with me, the people are what I will miss the most about CSSI. I can only hope that we will meet again someday!
