I Went To ONE Entrepreneurship Meeting At Kennesaw State University, And it Changed My Whole Perspective
Tayla Pepin

Here at Kennesaw State University, there are numerous of clubs and organizations to join for all majors.

These organizations are helpful for students and alumni to get involved with their college, help network, make lifelong friends, and many more. Getting associated with a club is beneficial because it helps you grow your mind and as a person. Motivate yourself to put yourself out there, and find an organization that is the perfect fit for you (even if you don’t go to KSU).


On Tuesday, I attended an event called, “What The Entrepreneurship?” with E.C. Angels. At first, I was very timid because I did not know what to expect from this group and meeting. All of the girls in E.C. Angels are already successful in their businesses and I was just getting started on my business ideas. I felt very behind in my game. The E.C. Angels were so welcoming and you can tell that these ladies wanted to get to know you and your story. One of the things I adored at the event was that there were pink and white Post-It notes on the wall spelling “YOU” and people were writing on the pink Post-It notes. The saying for the “YOU” mural was, “It starts with you.” The purpose behind it was basically to tell your story as of why you wanted to get into a business, or what made you want to become an entrepreneur. I thought that was so powerful because you not only get to share your purpose, but you got to see other purposes.

As the event went on the speaker, Ariam was talking about how everyone has the skill to be an entrepreneur, but not everyone has the education. Kennesaw State is the only university in Georgia that offers Entrepreneurship as a B.B.A. That is crazy and amazing! Having the opportunity to major or minor in Entrepreneurship and receive the proper knowledge of Entrepreneurship can be a life-changing move for people who want to have their own business. For those that don’t want to major or minor in Entrepreneurship or do not have the opportunity to there are clubs you discover on KSU campus OR you can create a club that relates to Entrepreneurship.

Here are the Entrepreneurship Clubs:

- KSU Top 100

- E.C. Pitch Academy

- E.C. Retreats

- CEO Spotlight

- E.C. Angels

If these clubs are not available on your university campus, don’t be afraid to create your own.

After Ariam was finished speaking, everyone who attended was broken up into groups. The E.C. Angels were directing and asking the appropriate questions per group to get to know one another. The questions that were asked blew my mind. They were deep and genuine and straight to the point. I.E. “Who admired you and why? Any habit you do and can thank for the next day? What is your focus? Where are you with that? What is one question you need to answer yourself?” Take a moment and write down your answers. You’ll be astounded what you come up with. I was when I said my answers out loud. Use these questions and answers to stimulate your drive to start your business. Ask yourself every day why you’re doing this. Write it down so you can see it every day.

Rather it’s making a to-do list or going to lectures to motivate you and get you productive, you can do anything that you set your mind to with a little action. Going to the E.C. Angels meeting influenced me in so many ways (and I just went to one meeting). I cannot wait to see what E.C. Angels and the Entrepreneurship clubs have in store for me. I believe the Entrepreneurship clubs are going to make a big difference for me for my future. I hope you will take a leap of faith and try out one of these clubs and/or create your own!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
