My Alma Mater, Kennesaw State University 2026
Hooray! Alexander Lloyd Keita graduated college. What is next for me, you may ask? Well, I am going to be completely honest: I am still going to be working at my retail job, but I am going to make it my goal to put in many applications this summer for any journalism-related field. On a more positive note, I got accepted into the Master's Program at my alma mater, Kennesaw State University. The master's program is Integrated Global Communications. Since my school doesn't offer a Master's degree in Journalism, I took the communications route. Besides all of this, I want to post as much as I should be doing on this blog. I will have a lot of time on my hands since I am taking the summer off.
The reason for this post is to also inspire people who have different life paths, so here is a detailed list of my advice!
You are on your own timeline, no one else's.
Let me be clear, you've heard the saying, "comparison is the thief of joy." You see your acquaintances graduating college and think to yourself, "man, I wish that were me." But let me give you some hard advice: they're probably going through things on their own. That's social media for you; you put on a fake face for likes and comments. Like everyone, we all carry emotional baggage that only people close to you see behind the scenes. The ones that show up are the ones who care. Surround yourself with people who want you to succeed and help you when you need it. Encouragement goes a long way.
Everyone has their own path in life, don't judge what they do!
We all want to say things we know we shouldn't say. Guilty, some people don't go to college; they go straight to the workforce and make money. Some people enlist in the military, some people attend trade school, and some people could end up homeless. But in the end, we are human. The human instinct is known for judging. We don't know what someone has been through. Stop and think about yourself for a minute, and put yourself in their shoes. Imagine what is going on in their life and what they go through.
Make personal and professional connections!
My last advice: stay connected to resources that may help you succeed no matter what path of life you are on. You never know how much you are worth fighting for. Make professional connections; yes, download LinkedIn. I use it like the time I spend on social media. I have built a significant number of connections there. I would like more, but I can continue putting myself out there. Anyone who is willing to connect with you can be your ticket to being successful. You could open a door to a wonderful opportunity.
