IT’S OFFICIAL… the 2024 Unrestricted Interns have entered the chat!

After over 150 applications, the Against team has selected three ambitious candidates who truly embody the spirit of rebellion and aim to make the world a more creative place. 

When first applying for this internship, we were posed the question “What makes you a rebel?” Little did we know, our distinctive responses to this question would be the catalyst to a summer filled with hands-on industry learning, invaluable mentorship, kickball, and creative rebellion. This is no small feat. 

We understand that this summer will challenge the societal norms we’ve thought to be true and allow us to create something that matters. We’re not here to merely think outside the box; in our eyes, there is no box, and there are no limits to what we can accomplish. 

As we embark on this quest for fearless creativity, there is only one question left to ask ourselves. “Is it relevant, stirring, and brave?” This question alone will drive every bold decision we make from here on out. 

We’re ready to push the limits of possibility this summer.

Boom! The journey starts now.

How many five-year-olds could you take in a fight? Twelve for sure. Fifteen if they’re kinda frail looking.

Would you rather be able to speak to animals or be fluent in every language? Being fluent in every language would be cool and all, but speaking to animals?? Are you kidding me!? I could never say no!!

Favorite book genre? Murder mystery. If nobody dies in the book, why am I reading it?

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, but it had to start with the first letter of your name, what would it be? Macaroni and Mgirl Mscout Mcookies, obviously.

How would you move a mountain? Ask it nicely. If that doesn’t work, I’d probably recruit a bunch of giants to help me push it. 

What’s your “golden rule” for living? Bloom where you are planted, no matter the conditions, and watch how your garden will grow. 

If you ended up with the dream job of your 5-year-old self, what would you be doing right now? Traveling the world as a renowned popstar. 

What is one place you never want to travel to? The bottom of the ocean. Deep sea marine life freaks me out.

If you had to replace your legs with the legs of an animal, what would you choose? Kangaroo, definitely. Then I would start playing basketball professionally.

What’s number one on your bucket list? Buy and restore a 1964 mustang (preferably in the original blue!)

What make-believe world would you want to live in? Lord of the Rings, but I’m undecided on whether I’d want to be a Hobbit or an Elf.

What is the simplest thing that makes you happy? The sound and smell of rain, and a good coffee.
