SENIOR VLOG #4 GRAD SCHOOL? | Jayla Koriyan TV

[@mrskayhillman]

I understand those who say don't waste your time if you aren't sure what your career goals are; however, I think that if your school is paid for and you get a stipend then you have nothing to lose. You get paid more for having a second degree. Also, this sets you up to get your doctorate if you want it. Even if your degree isn't in the field you end up working in, many jobs still honor your education and you get paid more. So if you have a full ride + stipend, go for it! I am currently in graduate school and as I am studying I am developing in my goals and figuring out that I have many options on what I can do with my degree and what my next step is (with regards to my education level). You don't have to have it all figured out! We are young! Of course do what you feel is best and don't force yourself to continue with school if that isn't what you want to do. Your teacher speaking with you is a blessing so definitely consider all your options! Good luck! (ps. study at least 3-6 months for the GRE to get a good score) Love your blogs! :)

[@loverofallthingsbeautiful2]

Great advice

[@Inhati95]

I definitely am taking your comment into consideration. I am currently an undergrad and going back and forth with the idea of grad school smh

[@mrskayhillman]

@lnhati95 xoxoxox Good luck! I plan on giving more advice like this on my channel so go check me out! KayH

[@chikondibanda6479]

Today is my last day of exams thereafter I graduate in engineering I'm so happy! I'm the first female engineer in my family generation wooo

[@BeautytheyCallHer]

Congratulations!!! Stay consistent and be the first of many things! Good Luck

[@Wanjiku.x]

Congrats 💕

[@Montria]

Congratulations!!!

[@HenriettaObeng]

Congratulations!

[@jeanettegbendah1780]

Congrats!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dlcrme]

What program would you pursue for grad school? It's not a bad idea, but if you don't really know what you want to do career-wise, it may be better to get some more professional experience before continuing with school. If you know the graduate degree will really be necessary for what you want to do, go for it. But from my own experience, I don't think it's a good idea to go just to say you have a master's degree. Make sure it's worth the time and effort.

[@Jebe2013]

This is wonderful advice! I second this. Coming from someone with a grad degree.

[@parfumbuzz1]

I think you should go if it's no out of pocket expenses for you you, why not !!!

[@goldenrays522]

Great advice but then again acquiring more knowledge can never be a waste of time. There's something to take from all experiences.

[@VanelleKae]

Great advice , I agree as well

[@TrishaMonae]

When you were watching Rob & Chyna but then Jayla uploads so you cut your TV off 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@ArmyBarbie]

Nah you buggin lol 😂😂😂

[@DesCoop]

I died lol

[@Venusianjonel]

nah you buggin but I love Jay I had to pause for Chob

[@PettyMurphyTV]

+Army Barbie CRYINGGGGGGGGG

[@ArmyBarbie]

+East Coast Shahaad 😂😂

[@tb11212]

Just a heads up Jayla, not sure if I heard you right since you got cut off but you definitely CAN study for the GRE. In fact, you should if you want a decent score. I recommend the ETS GRE book (because ETS are the ppl who make the test) and Magoosh 6 month study access because their videos (especially for math) are life. I just took it and got the score to get into my dream grad school program. Now, I'm looking for money too. P.S. we're the same year in college and it's rough studying for it while in school. Try to give yourself at least three months if you can since the test costs $205.

[@mrskayhillman]

I second this!!! great advice!

[@AllIAm1]

Yup I took it, I studyed for it. No problem

[@TheXoxorachelmorgan]

Im surprised yall didnt get attached to the cricket😂😂 yall might miss him a little bit

[@shacorajohnson6319]

Most blessings are unexpected, relish in the opportunity and embrace the new beginning in spite of the gnawing feeling of starting all over. The moment you're forced outside of your comfort zone, is the moment you aline yourself with God's plan. Best wishes with whatever decision you make J!!

[@unmask_88]

About your Grad School, Pray to God and Talk to God, and ask him to guide you and trust me, God will. And once he let you know where he wants you to go, keep it between you and him, and take that Leap of Faith and trust him.

[@asavedsista1703]

Amen!!!

[@MeishaaaTalkz]

I'm in grad school now. I'm 23 and it's my first year. I took a year off after completing my undergrad. Study for your GRE! Papers on top of papers..

[@QuanishaL]

im so scared to take the GRE for some reason any study tips?

[@nehemie1255]

+Quanisha Robinson use magoosh. great to study and teaches to solve math problems without doing them the long way. scored great. studied 4 months.

[@tb11212]

I loved magoosh! Makes a difference in your score if you really use their resources. On top of that, I got the EXACT score my dream program asked for. (Try to catch them on their $99 sale for 6 month of access).

[@MeishaaaTalkz]

Take three to six months to study in depth. Keep in mind, the questions on the GRE can sometimes have more than one answer, so it's important to know the material. Also, there are some free apps that helped me out.

[@QuanishaL]

Thank u guys so much very helpful and useful information. I will most definitely look into these options 😊

[@sanailao8086]

I feel like you should stop worrying about a set of "friends" you have in NY. For some reason you look scared shitless of the opportunity and I get it as you said it's the whole starting over thing. Do what's gonna better your future. Either way I don't think those "friends" in NY would be worried about you if an opportunity as this came their way. love you for free

[@Carolle3]

Watching this makes me so proud of you Jayla, I really watched you come a long way from your freshman year to grad school. You've even inspired me to go back to school after taking two years off. Your ambitious, motivating, optimistic, and lastly level-headed. You can truly do anything you put your mind to. Stay the same, never change unless it's for the better. Stay blessed and humble #Glam4Life ❤️

[@straightheat1]

Awwww man that black outfit with the high boots 😩 slay hunny slay

[@GGM77263]

Make sure you spend time to yourself to really think about what you want be ( your profession) because the worst thing you can do is start graduate school and then realize that your field is not what you want a career in. Im in Graduate school now and the process took alot of soul searching but i love my program & im growing as a person in every class. I wish you the best hun. Oh yea im in Graduate School for Professional School Counseling & I have an organization for young girls called An Educated Beauty. I use your book with my Freshman College Girls. You are a great role model. Go Girl ♡

[@ashley123011]

Your outfits be popping 💙. Nobody fucking with you 😍

[@StarringShameka]

Yesssss! Cute af!

[@Sheabuttahbaby]

This is the best your hair has ever looked..please keep it.

[@Ala-zl3oh]

Got my inches back and I don't know how to act 😭💇🏽💁🏽

[@TanijiaGennae]

Give it a couple weeks Jayla gone have a new boo 👀 all them boys I see around there

[@TanijiaGennae]

Btw I hung up on my boyfriend for you , feel special 😘

[@xoheartbreakermessxo9234]

+Selfmademing 😂😂😂

[@Alexisariiel]

That cricket had to go 😂

[@downtownon7thavenue]

😂😂

[@AshleyTraa]

I just wanna say thank you for consistent vlogs and they are a good length. Love you girl ❤️❤️

[@aminah3472]

Where did these "friends" come from all of a sudden?

[@tatiannam4693]

Those are her roommates.

[@simibee5583]

I think you should pray on it! Sometimes we think we have plans for ourselves but God directs us in another route. I will say though.. one thing about your education is that NO ONE can take it away from you. Your degree will forever be yours. I'm currently in grad school and I have two more semesters left (it'll go by fast before you know it). Just take time to think about it. You got optionsssssss girl lol

[@breeyawnahinton]

The grad school opportunity sounds great, but I'd say you should not be afraid to turn it down. You should only do it if it will really benefit you, not just to do it. You could spend that time and effort pursuing other things. Good luck with the next chapter and this decision.

[@janaparker5352]

Hi Jayla! I like watching your videos even tho I'm old enough to be your mother. Lol! If you are confuse on what direction you should go ask the Lord for guidance and He will direct your path! If they are willing to pay you to go you go because you don't want to regret not taking advantage of this opportunity that is for you. Get all you can out of life and use your time wisely and enjoy your life and put God first no matter what!!! God bless you and be safe!!

[@asavedsista1703]

Amen sis!!! Great advice.

[@MUCCHATI]

Y'all literally be lit ALL the time 😹🙌🏾🙌🏾😩

[@DesCoop]

like really tho my college experience is nothing like this lol

[@JaundraTenice]

+Des Coop Facts lol

[@teebellamy]

I JUST turned 20 last week and stressing about what I would do after college too! I NEVER though about Grad School until this past month. But I didn't realize you could get PAID for it 😮Girl life after college is so real it's scary 😩maybe Grad School wouldn't be so bad 🤔 lol

[@Sassybesos]

Obviously pray about it Jayla. (THE Schooling) but the beauty of free schooling is that, you don't have those worries of loans. However, it is a time investment, but that opportunity seems great girl. I always say the time is going to pass by regardless, so you want to make sure you spend it gaining.

[@BeautytheyCallHer]

When your hair is slaying no makeup is needed unless u just trying to shut it down!

[@AlegnaAjai]

Hooray for grad school. Once you stop it will harder to go later so get it all back to back and then once you stop let the real living begin!

[@tahariking]

You are amazing and im soooo proud of you. I have been going back and forth in my head if I want to continue my undergrad and I think I'm going to move forward. I was talking to this lady who's actually a professor at the University and she pretty much told me that she could help me pay my way to school because I didn't want to take any more loans and just listening to you gave me the conformation that I needed. You are an amazing strong young black woman and you are setting such an amazing standard for the young women who will come behind you. Reach for the Stars you are more than Worthy. I'm definitely going to keep you in my prayers!

[@ndelva96]

u seem like youre having fun why were u complaining about the school

[@snoodysnoody8118]

I know , she looks like she is enjoying her last year . I remember the worst time I had in school was when most of my friends graduated and I was just so lonely . I assumed she didn't have any friends at this school but she seems good

[@alexandria4401]

You have fun with friends but she's so close to getting her degree and she's over it. I'm a junior and I'm over it lol

[@TyLiTV]

She makes the best out of every situation.

[@aaaaddddaaa]

same. Way over it. WAAAAAYYYYYYYY over it.

[@LoveFinds]

It's important to remember this is the edited version of her life.

[@jasminejackson4877]

I get it . I'm a sophomore and everytime I think about graduation and then law school and then getting a job I get so stressed lol like making decisions can be so stressful.i just try to take it one day at a time .

[@desireelashai996]

it's amazing how people come to watch your vlog just to comment hate. there's no way I would waste my time, something I can't get back, to hate on someone I voluntarily watched. Lmao y'all a trip

[@therealimlikewoa]

Maybe she means close friends she can trust. You can have all the friends in the world, but if you don't have one you can trust it doesn't matter

[@ebonee]

I never ever write comments but we have so much in common I'm compelled to do so. I'm also an AKA, born on Nov 11, I'm a hair stylist, and I have an MBA. Just know God will never put a desire is your heart that you can not attain.

[@mskeysnote14]

Hi Jayla, wud u please make some 'Pretty&Educated' cropped sweatshirts? That wud be so cute! 😎

[@ambiebby1636]

That would be an awesome idea, and most likely a huge money-maker.

[@latishaaa1]

Please!

[@shaykendall8742]

yessssss

[@jheath905]

I'm so excited for you about going to Grad School. I know that which ever school you decide to go to, you'll do great there as well. Its just like you said: finding what you want to do and whether or not it ties with whatever your career choice is. I'm sure you'll work it out.

[@oursweetcottageinaustria]

@jaylakoriyan why do you always think your videos could be boring if you show more academic stuff? it´s the total opposite!! we love your college vlogs and studying is one of the main parts of it. So please don´t think we wouldn´t like it, because i know we would love to see more homework/ class related stuff as well. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAIN IS JUST FOR YOU TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION, IF YOU DON´T WANT TO DO SO, THEN WE´LL CONTINUE TO LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU ANYWAY :-)

[@itsimplyjustme]

I am 23 years old and currently in my first year of grad school for social work. I would recommend really doing research on the programs offered to see what is right for you. Grad School is intense with lots of reading & papers, but it's definitely worth it for me anyways. I don't really like taking test or reading, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway, good luck on what ever you choose to do after undergrad & have fun! ☺️

[@Mizzbabyblue12]

It took me a while to really decide if grad school was for me. After months of contemplating, I decided to pursue a masters degree in social work as well. I am in my first year of the program.

[@bymarie96_]

Jayla I am so proud of you. You should definitely take the opportunity and go to grad school. Feel it out. It could open up so many new doors. I'm so happy for you Jayla!! And I got so emotional watching that part though, Im not sure why. Ive been subscribed for about a year now and Ive become very attached to your vlogs in the way that I feel like they help me out when Im upset or lost, you help me keep up the motivation to study and do me! Keep it up!

[@myawalkerlawrence3045]

I'm super excited for you- you can never be over dressed or over educated!!!! FYI: there are tons of preps that you can use to study for the GRE. Kaplan has a awesome prep guide and flash cards!

[@Iamnai]

California state University is a good one you have been saying for 4 years how that was one of the top places you wanted to go it not only allows you to excell In your education but branch out in more opportunities with KZbin your book your business as a whole your very smart talented driven and amazing go for it boo nothing can stop u you have a good head on your shoulders

[@ValerieSaintil]

starting over is never a bad thing. take a chance and fly you never know what doors might open for you. yes friends are important but I'm sure they will understand that you have to do what's best for you. and you're such a lovely person you will make friends wherever you're going

[@SuchASweety1]

GO FOR IT!!! Your young and have nothing to lose, it will only benefit you in the end!! Not to mention you have a program that will pay for your schooling and give you extra money!! Don't let the thought of taking the GRE make you feel nervous you got this girl!!

[@jjk8041]

Jayla you're so amazing and you deserve everything that's coming your way you are a hard fuckin worker and your hard work doesn't go unnoticed, keep pushin boo💅🏾💅🏾

[@ttcups6513]

Jayla, God is setting you up for your life, it's ok to be nervous. He is directing you, so when great opportunities come out of nowhere, they really aren't!!!

[@alyssagalloway6933]

COME TO CALI!!!! So so proud of you and happy for new beginnings!!!

[@ayocaree]

Hey Jayla! You can pay for a GRE prep class that will definitely help you study and learn how to take the GRE, I took one and it helped sooo much. Having actual class time with an instructor who can guide you through the prep materials and give you feedback was better than trying to study on my own especially while trying to focus on graduating in my experience. Also, try to give yourself enough time to take the test again if need be. Most people I know had to take the test at least twice. I know the uncertain feeling of being a college senior and not knowing where you will be at in life within the next year(s), but it will all work out the way it's meant to in the end girl, you got this!!!

[@curatedbycaressa9687]

Its great that you are considering Grad School. I went right after Undergrad and I work in Higher Ed now, word of advice; don't rush to make a decision. Those opportunities will still be there in the future. Make sure grad school is what YOU want and that it is actually necessary or helpful in your industry. I personally, wish I would've worked a couple years first to see what I enjoyed, didn't like, and where I wanted to be after having more life/work experience.

[@skylamangum]

When u have school in the morning but Jayla has a new vlog

[@OrganicSlay]

your journey to grad school would be amazingly inspiring! but thus far, you're still an inspiration 😀

[@talya790]

Im so glad you went back to school, look how much fun your having! Keep up the good work girl you got this

[@lj2839]

School gives you time to figure out what it is you want to do, so that's something to think about! You are a blessed young lady and God places opportunities in your life for a reason...all good things girl!

[@sammyjames1234]

Jaylas bedding 😩😍😍 I need

[@xoxoIANA]

YES! You can study for the GRE, Magoosh and the prep book! and side note: Move to Cali :)

[@janisareeves5935]

I'm so excited about your new opportunity. free grad sch is like non existent nowadays. so GO FOR IT!!! best of luck sis 💯💯💯

[@VarnHoskins]

Jayla! I just graduated from UNC in May and started Grad School in July, its overwhelming to start over again but believe me when I say it.is.worth.it! That second degree will make the difference for me, and I know it will for you as well. AND it gives you that gap year (or two) two to explore your options for the future a little longer :) I wish you the best! The GRE isn't bad either...i swear, think of it as the SAT but at a college level

[@taymelanin717]

Just watched Nicole .G. vlog now Jayla's my defintion of turn upp lol

[@naturallybynao6510]

Jayla I miss you so much girl ! It's like I'm running out of air without your vlogs ! Hope you be back soon :) Love ya !

[@sammyjames1234]

Girl I'm in grad school now and girl you will do fine .. And girllll the GRE 🙏🏽🙏🏽 start praying now and studying NOW !

[@marissamuyadai9778]

Jayla goes to class looking so cute lol! I go to class looking like I dont love myself

[@benedictabonsu3349]

don't turn the offer down. just got for it. it might be the path that sets you to where you need to be 😊

[@realfreedomofspeech]

pour out some for the cricket... he escaped a wall only to be killed in cold blood. Cold world.

[@deandreaashanelle7795]

Hey Jayla. Your video re-inspired me to continue to take the steps to reach my goals. Every once in a while I loose my motivation to keep going but just seeing you reaching your goals and the results reminds me that with hard work I can accomplish anything.

[@lydiashort4942]

go ahead and do it get it out the way while you still young. I never in a million years thought I do it I had such a hard time in school. I continued and got my MBA it will go fast and once you have it, it's done. I went to UMUC.

[@dyeshiamonet1788]

YASSSS Girl I'm proud of you!!!! Go straight through! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great advice my aunt gave me! She is my business and education model!

[@diyafalife4]

Congrats!! Pray for guidance on your decision ☺️

[@travaeruth7858]

Hey Jayla as soon as you started sharing your story, I felt you moving and branching off to Cali for some reason!! God bless you in your next life transition #proudsupporter❤❤❤

[@LifeAsAsha]

Life is all about twist and turns 🙏🏾 that's the beauty of it

[@genesispicon6402]

keep striving for greatness jayla. you are a role model for many young women out there !!!!💎🙌

[@MsLiberianLady]

Your outfit and makeup and hair looked so nice when u guys went out...this makes me miss college

[@KenyaMilan]

Jayla goin be a Grad student!!!!! Ayyyeee!!! Go to Cali!! That way you can say you experienced both Cali and New York!

[@almiralewis4319]

Go for it! The greatest blessings are unexpected! God works mysteriously!

[@philadelphiaeastcoast9113]

I would recommend Phila U. I went there for Grad Sch. The school itself is sorta small, but has beautiful campus that's nice, clean and modern. Philadelphia the city is huge and diverse. It's also considered NYC little Bro or Sis. Meaning like New York, but smaller population.

[@ehurtado87]

SAN FRANCISCO STATE!!! you would LOVE it their!! its pretty similar to NYC. but in California...

[@TarynStudies]

One correction you can prep for GRE. I took it twice , once without studying and once with prepping for 12 weeks, my score went up tremendously. I would recommend Kaplan books and the vocabulary flash cards both can be found on Amazon.

[@lipglosslover09]

girl I took the GRE twice and did 3 points worse the second time! Thankfully the school I ended up going to didn't require it. I wish you luck in taking it if you do. Here's a hint, although my major is different from yours, my professor said that school's don't pay too much attention to the score it's more of a formality. good luck!

[@regginasmith7333]

Choosing to attend graduate school is the right investment in your future. One day mature Jayla will thank baby Jayla for the sacrifice. Once graduate school is complete, that book you wrote as a very young adult will then become your reality. Pretty and Educated........

[@Strawberryfearsforever]

You actually can turn it down if you want. I don't take free things, if I don't really want it. But if you do really want to go, then go. It's completely your decision. It's surprising since it seemed you were kinda anxious for school to end a couple weeks ago. But the newness of new beginnings wears off in about a week anyway. You can handle that.

[@teebellamy]

YALL FINALLY GOT THAT CRICKET 🙌🏽🙌🏽😂😂😂

[@money1177]

girl.... i had to take a year off between undergrad and grad school i think it was the best decision i ever made

[@YochanaIrie_FineAppleStylez]

Was it hard to get the references and stuff for grad school? I am about to take a year off and try to work. What did you do during your gap year?

[@kaylakiddo]

I wish I did that. I'm 23 and finished my MBA this year. I was SO exhausted by the 2nd year

[@afrodiva5784]

You can apply for an internship in your field or even get a job that is aimed towards what you're grad degree will be. Then you will have real world experience or if required your field experience and your bosses can reference you.

[@YochanaIrie_FineAppleStylez]

thanks *****

[@danibabyy]

Labor Day weekend was cold in VA, I had to bring out a hoodie. And then Tuesday it was right back hot

[@nessababy146]

Omg i went when i saw that pamphlet...i said yaaayy Phila U. I went there for my first year as a bio major but then transferred to Howard. I saw that the school was more fashion and textiles based which will be perfect for you! The fashion shows are amazing. I have several friends that graduated from there and are doing amazingly well. Take a look into it!

[@LoveMakeup-hw9vt]

Jayla, you can look at going to grad school as another book to write about; the experience, challenges and all that it takes to get through such a major step in life.... You have accomplished a lot is such a short time, this would just be the beginning of a new story....

[@Khaliamuhammad]

I'm originally from Memphis, TN and I just transferred to CSU Sacramento after being at Syracuse University in Syracuse, NY for two years. Cuse is like two hours away from Ithaca which is where Cornell is and girl the winters are brutal. But so far I'm loving Cali and I lowkey wish I would've came out here for my freshman year. But I completely understand what you're saying about starting over..I'm going through it now and it's a struggle but I know it's gonna be worth it in the end. Push yourself!

[@2muchric3]

I'm struggling with grad school decisions as well. change is just such a struggling situation for me.

[@keishalkeishal6379]

Don't be afraid to turn it down, every opportunity is not for you. Blessings regardless 🙌🏾

[@PleasantlyIntroverted]

I enjoy watching your channel, I am probably one of your oldest viewers, in age that is. LOL! I attended Grad School. I received my Masters in Healthcare Administration and started pursuing a PhD. Completing my PhD is still one of my goals. You can do it, but don't get overwhelmed, take one day at a time. You are young you can do it! The sky is the limit. If I can do it, you most certainly can. #hintim50

[@laflorcorazon]

Hi I'm going to purse my Healthcare Administration Masters once I graduate in a year a half, hat are you getting your PhD in if you don't mind me asking?

[@CandyyRenaeTV]

You're nervous about it now, but I'm sure you'll love it. You've made the best of every other situation you've been in. You got it girl!! ❤️

[@niclove5615]

Go to California jayla, so you can experience living there, that way, you would really know which u like better, out of New York, and cali. And Once you graduate, you'll truly know, if you would want to settle in New York or cali.

[@JustOneKi]

Girl!!!! Just started my senior year of college, and I'm in a dilemma about going to graduate school. I know I am going for sure though. My only fear is starting over, but it is also very exciting too. Best of luck on your journey! I swear I felt I was having a conversation with myself during that scene.

[@jaquii77]

Decisions, decisions, it is indeed difficult to make a decision like such but whatever you choose don't let fear guide you. Say yes to new challenges, grad school or NYC life, whatever, but choose what's best for your future and not what's confortable. I bet you already know it but a little reminder never hurt ;D You've made great decisions so far I believe you are going to figure this one out :) xx

[@roxiemaddox3506]

Take that chance girl , the lord has plans for you . Blessings are coming your way don't miss them , it is your time take the ride now!

[@GraFFiTi451]

Jayla I think going to grad school in Cali would be a great opportunity considering that it practically paid for, you get paid for going and it will probably be good for your KZbin channel(brand)

[@yarinaful]

Jayla always slaying, but girll you was showing out on this vlog 😍😍❤️

[@rachelb7215]

raven looks like miss jackson with them dimplessss so pretty

[@WinnerKimkimrose]

I'm currently @ San Francisco State and loving it. See ya soon Jayla!!!

[@nwandoesimai7699]

I'm in grad school and to be honest its not easy nor is it difficult. GRE is simple but the challenge is you have to be time conscious and a fast thinker. I know this is your decision and the offer is super attractive, but give yourself at least 6 months to be sure if grad school is really what you want. I wish i had this advice, life would have been a little easier. But the ultimate question you need to answer everyday is WHO DO I WANT FOR MYSELF?!!!!

[@shaminor9210]

I am excited for you and what your future holds! I pray God guides you in the right path.

[@drelexiabootle4793]

YASSSSS!!! Was just about to go sleep because I have a 8 am class in the morning 😩👏🏾

[@Onecocco]

Jayla i think you are an amazing person. Damn your inspiring people out here, bless you! I wish you fun and success in future endeavours
