[the confessional begins with me sitting in front of the camera]Β I canβt believe itβs finally over. 2 seasons of College Hill: South Beach and Orlando are now over. Where did the time go? [chuckles shaking my head] I know while sitting back and reflecting on my time here in the house I realized how much I loved being here. Iβm thankful for Bey and her staff for giving me this opportunity. CH was a great experience. I started out as 19 year old shy Yanna and emerged as 20 year old loud, outgoing Tatyanna. Thatβs a testament to growth and change.
I wonβt say that things here were all unicorns and rainbows but they werenβt all bad either. There were good timesΒ [clips of the Lady Gators winning their game, me winning Most Athletic female, the BET awards, us in Vegas, us in the Bahamas, and my birthday flash across the screen] and there were bad timesΒ [clips of me hobbling around on my broken ankle, me and Chi-raq grieving the loss of our baby shark Levels, the house being burned down, my hair being set on fire, and Akasha & Iβs fight flash across the screen]. But all in all, I believe the good definitely outweighed the bad. I got to travel to some beautiful places, meet some amazing people, play the game I love, meet my best friends, attend some of the most sought after events, and even fall in love.
[shifts in my chair] I think the cool thing, well one of the cool things about being here is that we were encouraged to make mistakes. I know for me, I made a bunch. I was naive, I was reckless, I was stupid. I thought things like love and my health were things to play with. Nah, not at all. Listen America, take that shit seriously. I tried my best to learn from the situations I put myself in and in some way, I took a lil something from each one so no, I canβt say I regret them but I can say I would have done them a little differently.Β
[the camera flashes to me sitting on the volleyball court continuing my confessional] The main thing I learned is that βI control my lifeβ. Nobody else just me. That means that I have to take responsibility for my actions and choices. No matter if theyβre good or bad. The other things I learned are tied into the ways that Iβve grown. [smiles] I learned to be more outgoing and sillyΒ [clips of Kaaliena giving me a stripperβs thong, a stripper lifting up my shirt and looking at my boobs at Tristanβs Project X party, and me twerking with my broken ankle after August won his 2 BET awards flash across the screen].Β I became more outspoken and realized that my opinion matters [clips from the numerous open dash sessions show]. There are so many other ways I feel that Iβve grown but Iβll let them speak for themselves.Β
Producer: Where do you see yourself next year and how do you think your attitude will be?
[runs my fingers through my hair] Uhh, where do I see myself next year? Well next year Iβll be 21 so I see myself in the season premiere of my life. These first 20 years were just the little promo clips. Unfortunately, I wonβt be here in Miami. I got a job offer working for the Los Angeles Lakers as their head Nutritionist so Iβll be moving out there very soon. [smiles proudly] I know for a fact that Iβll still be playing volleyball. Iβm gon do that until the day I die. I hope to be volleyballβs equivalent of Michael Jordan. [chuckles] But back to next year, I know Iβm gon be collecting all the checks. In all honesty, I canβt tell you where Iβm gonna be. I have to leave that in Godβs hands but I can tell you for a fact that I will beΒ happy and blessed.
[aΒ compilation of various other clips of me during the show come across the screen; the confessional ends with me standing in front of the CH house wearing a UFlorida hoodie smiling]Β Bye College Hill, Hello LA
