Name: Jaime Ritter
Graduation Year: 2013
Degree: Communications Journalism, minor in English Literature
HC: What do you remember most about your time at UAB?
Jaime: My greatest memories of UAB definitely came from outside of the classroom — like traveling with my golf team and founding the Her Campus branch (Holla!).
HC: What have you ben up to since graduating in 2013?
Jaime: I’ve been working non-stop! I got a job right after graduation as a magazine editor, and now I’m working as a digital brand journalist for the ad agency that represents UAB (Go Blazers!).
HC: Do you think it’s hard to keep in touch with college friends now that you’ve graduated?
Jaime: I don’t think it’s necessarily “hard” to keep in touch, but now most of my friends either work 40 hours a week or have moved away so it’s a little trickier. You have to make the effort to get together and pick up the phone. With that being said, I don’t have high-maintenance friends. I’m terrible about calling. I get caught up in my own bubble and forget about them for weeks at a time. I’m the worst, but I can give them a call and it’s like no time has passed at all. And I love that.
