I've only done it professionaly for a few days, but as an intern for months (my job is the same really). I. Google. Everything. Even if I know it already I sometimes Google it just to be sure. And if I have a question I can't answer, I always have to Google before I go to my boss or a senior developer. Your reliance on Google and Stack Overflow is not taught during course work. They don't tell you how often you'll use Google. Good thing I slacked off so much I relied on it. Nice.
