01:36 since Rapper Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison

01:41 she remained on point and upbeat.

01:44 - I feel like I'm in such a fresh space.

01:46 Like, everything about me is new.

01:48 My attitude, my vibe.

01:50 I think I've just gone through so much

01:52 and I'm so at a point where I don't care

01:54 about a lot of stuff.

01:56 I'm just so comfortable with myself.

01:58 I'm like, okay, at this point, girl,

01:59 what's the worst thing that can happen?

02:33 to be a struggling college student,

02:34 and I know one of the main struggles

02:36 that make people wanna just give up and quit

02:38 is being able to pay for school.

02:39 That was one of my biggest things when I first got there.

02:41 My mama told me, I'm not helping you pay for this.

02:43 And I was like, dang, what am I gonna do?

02:45 And just fortunate enough for me,

02:46 I became Megan Thee Stallion,

02:48 so my first money I ever got and I spent,

02:50 I spent it on college.

02:51 I paid off my school.
