- Hey Jeydah, good morning. - Good morning.
- [Producer] Do you have time for us to come in?
- It's a little too early for this, but-
- [Producer] But we got your breakfast.
- McDonald's?
You could come in. - Okay.
- [Producer] How would you describe yourself,
a morning or a night owl?
- I'm definitely a night owl,
because I really don't like mornings,
but when I have breakfast, I'll be okay.
- [Producer] How many alarms do you have?
- I have a few alarms.
Probably about, like 10,
because I really don't like waking up.
I'm really not a morning person at all.
- [Producer] Do you snooze through your alarms?
- I snooze through every single alarm.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
- [Producer] What does your perfect morning look like?
- My perfect morning will have to be
when my 8:00 AM professor cancels class,
because it's just too early.
I cannot do that.
- [Producer] Do you check your emails or texts
as soon as you wake up?
- I try to check my emails.
I'm actually trying to do that now.
- [Producer] What year are you in?
- I'm a graduating senior, thank God, because whoa,
college is a ride.
- [Producer] What's it like being a senior?
- Being a senior is like,
(uptempo hiphop music)
you ever heard of senioritis?
That's exactly how I feel.
I'm ready to go.
- [Producer] Why'd you choose your HBCU?
- I chose my HBCU, ♪ Hey ♪
because I'm very proud ♪ Hey ♪
to be black ♪ Hey ♪
and I'm very proud to be around,
like black excellence and people who think like me.
- [Producer] How many hours do you spend studying though?
- My mom would want me to say a few hours a day,
but I usually get my studying done on Sundays,
because that's my quiet day,
so I'll probably say about six hours a week.
- [Producer] How do you feel
about morning and night classes?
- Okay, so I know I told you guys
that I'm not a morning person,
but night classes are ridiculous.
I think I would choose my 8:00 AM over having an 8:00 PM,
because I'm ready to go to sleep,
or I'm ready to go out with my friends,
and I can't do that if I'm sitting in my professor's class
at 8:00 PM. (videotape screeching)
- [Producer] Do you meditate or take time for yourself
in the morning? (slow relaxing music)
- I do meditate in the morning,
especially if I know it's a busy week,
like this week is final season,
so I actually need to start getting myself together,
so that I can take this final, graduate,
and make my mama proud.
Okay, so. (slow relaxing music)
Where are you going?
You can't come in here (laughs).
- [Producer] How have you changed,
since you attended college?
- How have I changed since I've attended college?
I think I've actually become more diverse,
there's so many different people that you meet in college
whether they're from Chicago, or New Orleans,
or the Virgin Islands, you really never know,
you meet so many different types of black people in college.
- [Producer] Can I get a fit check?
Is this the normal attire or a dressed up that you wear?
- A fit check?
This is normal for finals,
so usually my HBCU is a fashion show every single day,
but it's finals week, and it's cold outside,
so I have on my fuzzy socks I have on some leggings,
and I have on a fuzzy, really soft sweatshirt, okay?
So if you see me during finals week, mind your business,
because I'm trying to pass.
- [Producer] What is your favorite
McDonald's breakfast item?
- My favorite McDonald's breakfast item
will have to be the hash browns.
I love hash browns, but I also am really a bacon girl,
and all the McDonald's breakfast items are good,
but hash browns and the bacon, you have my heart.
Oh, forgot my laptop.
I need to start getting ready to go.
- [Producer] What are your goals that don't involve college?
- My goals that don't involve college?
Networking, building relationships
and connections with people, that would be my goal.
- [Producer] Feel good, so we're a few days
into the new year.
What are your New Year's Resolutions?
- My New Year's Resolution (chuckles),
not being late to class,
so I don't know where you're gonna go.
Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you for the breakfast.
Thank you for the McDonald's.
I love McDonald's, I really needed it.
I don't know where you're gonna go, but you have to,
you have to go.
Okay, so wish me luck on my finals.
- Thank you for stopping by, okay, bye.
