(Noun) Hilltern: an undergrad that interns on Capitol Hill. Easily recognized by their
backpack and suit combination and
air of supremacy tangible from a mile away. The Hilltern is a sexually voracious species- when two rats are placed in the same room for a prolonged period of time, they attempt o procreate. This is known as the Hilltern Principle (Everybody, 2015). Hilltern behavioral patterns include: standing on the left side on escalators, whining about
metro delays, wearing a suit every day to class
even though said intern is not interning that day, mentioning their future presidency and
dad'
s money, and contributing nothing of value to
society.
How to approach a Hilltern:
The Hilltern is not a fearless creature and is easily frightened by other Hillterns with a more desirable position, and is also easily frightened by loud noises. They will scurry away at the smallest threat. Threat level: 0.

society. I'm really learning a lot at my internship on the Hill."
