So excited to change up my content and meet new people! Last week, I visited Harvard University to ask students about their sleep schedules, study habits, screen time, and more! Comment your thoughts below!
Shoutout to Caroline, Annabel, Grace, Jose, and Paurakh for letting me speak with you- you guys are incredible! ALSO huge thank you to Kevin for filming!!
“I thought it would be harder” this guy is a beast
Yeah Indians (Asians) are always pretty chill cause it's way more harder here in India that's why if it's a Korean or Chinese students I guess he say the same thing
No, he is indian!
Coz He's an Indian 😊
He said easier than thought but go to sleep at 1,2 am. I thought college is hard but sleep at 10 😂

So interesting that in the USA… You can get into university without even knowing what you want to study!? In the UK you have to apply for one specific course and you’re not allowed to change after.
Same in Russia, we’re supposed to choose something from the very beginning
@@celinejours same thing in Brazil
generally you can do the same in aus if you go into an arts degree, you can decide your specific major after year 1, but you should be making sure the courses you're doing are general arts credits so they can apply to other degrees eg. law or psychology

LOL... At least he's not actually Einstein. Einstein doesn't say, "like" as much as he does.
Indians school are so strict .... That can be a reason he found it easier
I still believe in the stereotype of Harvard students studying all the time😂
I will not be deceived after I saw that "Harvard is hard" TED Talk
Real students were studying when the video were filmed lol
Depends on the major/time of semester/the person etc. I would say there might be one or two people you get to know that will be studying all the time, but most dont.
@@NitroniumGaming mhhhhhhhhh We don't believe you...
The hardest part is to get accepted to Harvard, than probably it's like any other good quality university or college. Mostly it's about public image than "being the most difficult to study there".
why does it it make me comfortable that even Harvard students procrastinates 🥲, it feels like Im doing the right thing
same here
Definitely not a right thing
everyone has their own definition of "hard" and "smart" and stuff like that, they do a lot more than you think and is involved in so much more, except if they donated a building butyeh
It makes me sad because I assumed if I stopped procrastinating I might be as success as them, but they procrastinate too so it can’t be that- just something about who I am as a person probably
Undergrad is just undergrad lol
Asians are always chill in foreign university cause it's way harder in Asia like the Indian guy said : I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HARDER

He should be teaching his professors then
@@denimili7659 I didn't mean it I mean they are better than other native students cause my cousin is also went to US for high school studies as my uncle got promote there so on his 1st day class he was surprised that students can use calculator and and other gadgets and When his teacher ask some questions little off topic or little hard everyone got silent only few students can raise hand or only very few of them can able to gave correct answer in which my cousin and a Chinese boy always counted and later when he was in university this is somewhat right I am not saying that other students are waste or not good as Asians but if in class there are 100 Asian students present so on an average 85 students are absolutely smart.

Blows my mind that students gets into Harvard and NOT know what they want to focus in. Like all that money, effort, hard-work, and commitment just to get into an Ivy League university and be like, “eh, I don’t know what I’m doing here”. Crazy.
not that competitive these days ig
How did they get into Harvard like do they need to clear an exam
I think its like they have so much interest that they dont know which to choose.
I am willing to bet that they know. It's just either something embarrassing or they want to be mysterious and noncommittal. "Like, ya know, like I went to Harvard to study Art History, ya know? Like yeah, ya know?"
undecided is very common for freshman at not only harvard but all schools, most first year courses are introductory so you can decide what you want to pursue in your upper years. i think it’s admirable to give more things a try than to just choose what you “think” you might like when you haven’t even graduated high school

@Tom Tom i’ve been there and it’s really tough. Finally got out of that shell and trust me, it’s much better. You’ll have your own personality. NOT people’s opinions, but you’ll have YOUR own!! I’ve been seeing, during my hikikomori phase Here are difficulties I faced and that can help you understand the situation sooner: people on the internet who identify as “introverts” say that they don’t need other people to be happy, that they enjoy staying alone the most... it’s not true. It’s a lie they created themselves. We are social animals, we enjoy people’s company. Talking to people, even if very little, will lift you up like you just worked out one time and you already have a very fit body. You’ll notice that these “introverts” talk about their “qualities” with pride. Teenage girls mostly, talking to each other making memes on how annoying people are, and how much they love their house. and you too, if you see yourself there, even a little (and you will, even as an extrovert, because they are humans and feel like that too), will start unconsciously changing your mind to fit into the ideal “introvert”. It’s not healthy. You’ll run away from socializing when that’s what you and your body need the most. Actually, socializing is very important. Sure, there are annoying people out there. Those you “can’t stand”, and just want to run away. It’s a lie. You can stand them. And the more you do, the more you’ll start learning how to be patient, when to talk and when not to, and also more in peace with yourself, since, when you start not being too hard on people just because they’ll be annoying, you’ll be patient with yourself too. I can say something motivational to you but I know there’s a small percentage you’ll change. I myself always said to myself “I’m not gonna use my phone tomorrow” then… haha… This continued for 3 YEARS DAMN IT. Lost time, never gonna come back.
Yeah it's great to go outside and talk to people once in a while, have fun! :)
@@christa4172 I know exactly what you're talking about. I've been there too. I stayed at home all the time saying „that's just how I am, this is normal nowadays. Everyone does this, I see this on Instagram everyday. I am just an introvert.“ my life revolved around netflix, gym, and food. I thought I was doing good without people and friends. Until I wasn't. I had this wiered feeling of missing out a huge part in my life, but I just ignorded it. I guess this whole hikikomori thing began when I was 15. now I am 18 and I am still struggling to get out of this bullshit which I put myself in. But it's harder now, because of this stupid pandemic and because I gratuated school in 2021. Since I realized I was stupid enough to cut myself out of people, I just want to go out and meet people everywhere, even though I know not everyone will wish me the best. Instagram manipulated me by making a trend of being not social and hating everyone. And I was an idiot and went after it pfffffff (Sorry for my english)
@@christa4172 Ah I so needed to hear all of this!!!! (/see it in writing) I almost quit my pretty decent job recently bc of the amount of social interaction & communication required daily. I thought 'I can get a WFH job', or one where there are significantly less co-workers to deal with. But we do need (and, even as a shockingly quiet and shy introvert, I will say honestly, _crave_ ) the company of other people, and the only thing that will get me past the fear of them is to practise. To keep going in my career even though it's painfully awkward most of the time. To plough onwards and get all uncomfortable and to _enjoy_ the uncomfortableness, because that is where growth lies. "Comfort is the enemy of progress". I need to practice talking to people, mingling with others, asking questions and sticking around in situations (like staff meetings, social events etc) I'd normally run from. It's so incredibly easy to get stuck in your own head, and, like during a panic attack where you can't control your breathing and it gets faster and faster, your thoughts too can become a snowstorm of lies that you start to accept and live by. Also, as this video reminds us, people aren't always scary! They're humans too, and most of the time they just want you to be happy 😀

It's so painful. I have been watching admission decision reactions. One after another, dozens of brilliant and dedicated students get rejected.

Excellent video. We are all striving for financial freedom and a better way of life. It is not difficult to achieve this with wise investing, economical lifestyle, and careful budgeting. I'm pleased I learnt early on to work hard for financial independence.
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using it well
@@Victoriataylor5668 As an OAP with a lot of experience, I firmly believe that the success of any investment depends on having the right information, regardless of what others say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer always says "be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy". This is certainly the trick to succeeding even when others fail. I made $100,000 working with ALICE ELAINE HAYHURST a licensed financial adviser. It’s been a promising experience so far with her.

I’m shocked that so few has a proper sleep cycle, considering how important sleep is, epsecially for this level of work and studying.
Yk I always think this. We are so easily able to put sleep in the backburner and not prioritise it/disregard it despite knowing that sleep is very important for overall health and body. I guess it has become a norm to sleep less or not have a sleep schedule and if you do prioritise it, you are in a sense looked down upon and considered a 'bad student'.
Almost everyone, especially in the sciences has very little sleep because of how much schoolwork needs to be finished.
If I had rich parents and the ability to go to Harvard I wouldn’t be sleeping much either
If you study a STEM course, the sheer workload you have to deal with alongside potentially balancing a part time job and personal life makes it very difficult to have a proper sleep schedule.
@@I-dont-reply that doesnt even make sense, if youre rich parents got you into harvard youd sleep like a baby knowing youre future is covered.
"Whats your story?" She was not prepared for that one
These kids have it so good and i hope they take full advantage of it and become great successes. I never even thought of a life like this at that age but its something im working to provide for my children. Have fun n work hard.

for me personally it sucks that I had to wait 4 years at high school in order to apply for a course I've wanted anyway. now I'm almost 20 and I'm still at stupid high school
i'd really like to go to Harvard myself, and it is reassuring to know that it isn't just hours hours of work where you can't catch a single break, makes me slightly confident in the thought that i could do good there. my road towards Harvard is still long though, and that is if it happens.
Wishing you all the best for it! Hoping you do well wherever you go
It's extremely hard to get in, but once you get in they don't want to see you fail so you'll find it less challenging than you'd expect (much like these people are alluding to).
@@coldtakes133 well, as long as i get to meet new people make new friends that is what matters the most. the thing is, i'm from Denmark and the idea that i could get to experience what it is like to go to school in america has always seemed kindoff attractive to me, i remember when i was in my early to mid teens i'd dream of going to college in the states. i've always wanted to experience american culture, and i figured school would be a big incentive for me to get to know people there and make new friends, hell at one point my dream went as far as living in and working in america for the rest of my life, don't know about that part anymore though, but if i could get to go to Harvard, that would still be exciting and bring new experiences which is what i want most in life right now.
@@Darthmessiah66 I hope you get in
good luck on your journey! i hope you get in!❤️
That young lady has stated it clearly, everyone has their story for being at Havard. Not all went there based on academics. Some went there because their wealthy parents have been religious donors to the institution. Others went there because they impacted their community in a (non-academic) but major way. Another lot are legacy students. Plus being a Harvard Uni student doesn't make one superhuman, they have struggles that every other mortal has. The chasm between them (Ivy-schooled students) and us is that just the name Havard alumnus can open big doors without having to prove one's worth first, which is the case for the rest of us. Companies know if you were at Havard you have been drilled to work under intense pressure and the environment ensures you must succeed in your academics as much as extra-curriculum activities.
You go to Harvard for 2 reasons A) you're a super good athlete B) your parents are rich
@@mustang8206 Eh I don’t think Harvard is particularly known for athletics though. Not even the best Ivy League in sports. You probably just jelly of other people and that’s okay. 😴
@@mustang8206 nah, i know a bunch of people who go to harvard who come from low-income families and did NOT go for athletics. Many of my friends who go there were fortunate enough to attend on a full ride (in fact around 20% of undergrad is attending on a full-ride as they ensure that students who come from incomes less than 75k to receive full ride iirc)
@@hauweii They want a mix of bright students who they think will be successful thus continuing the HARVARD LEGACY and contributing in future back to the school.

It makes me kind of jealous, I started university a year ago, I am 3 semesters in and had no classes in person yet. (I study in Germany) I barely met anyone from my classmates and I moved here from another country to study here. I hope every semester that the next one is going to be in person again, but it just seems hopeless at this stage 😅 I also got social anxiety around new people because of the pandemic, I am soo out of practice how to be around strangers.
I’m sure a lot of people feel the same way! Good luck and Happy New Year!!🥳

@@username8644 I’m pretty sure she knows that
If you're lucky enough to have supportive parents then you can dedicate upward of 60 hours a week to your studies and still sleep 7-8 hours, but if you do have to work full-time that only leaves you 20 to 30 hours and you're already sleep deprived at this point.
this made me miss my previous university, I went back to my local college because of quarantine and I was so much more productive when I was still in university

There’s a bias to this method of interviewing, because they only have people who have time to stop and talk
I went into one of universities that is considered ivy league in my country and I had a great time there, could still go out with friends and do stuff. The only time I didn't have enough sleep was exam weeks. The end of senior year was really hard though. A lot more reading, research, and writing.

In Canada, it's encouraged to take up school at any age, your 40's, your 50's to do something that you love, like changing careers. 22 is barely out of high school. Start something new!

Hey! I just want to tell you to get it right with God Before you leave this World. God is one and great and all of us humans owe God because we have broken His laws that are carved in our hearts and known as God's ten commandments. The Bible says that there is not one good man and that everyone is condemned by God to pay the price for their sin and that is death. God is great and he is our judge he will judge us for our sin and we can not do anything about it because God can not just ignore sin. thus we all deserve death. But God he was gracious to us humans and had his son Jesus sacrificed on the cross for your and my sin so that we would not be lost and suffer in the eternal fire. It is written in the Bible: John 3:16 God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. so instead of you dying JESUS died on the cross he was mocked, beaten, whipped for you just for you, he could at any second call down angels to help him on the cross but no he chose to suffer for you and on that way God showed that he loved you. So turn to God and believe in him through Jesus it is the only way to eternal life with God. God also transformed me because he did disgusting things, but when I received Jesus, God began to do his work in me and thanks to the Lord I am saved. Please do not ignore this because I do not want you my sister or brother to be lost. but through Jesus there is not a single way to God for God is just he can not just forget your sin as long as nothing has paid for your sin and Jesus did. think of a court you are convicted of a punishment the judge will not remove your punishment for the good stuff you have done no he will judge you for the bad ones. but if someone pays your penalty then you are free to go. Seek the Lord. Pray with me: Lord I know I have sinned against me but I apologize and I want to be saved through the blood of Christ forgive me and guide me towards your kingdom God Amen. L
Awesome! Keep it up Colby!
Thank you David!!!
Great video! Makes me wonder what it would’ve been like to go to university!
Harvard is a great school but studying in this kind of schools doesn’t come cheap, as a student your financial capabilities are limited to your guardians or in other case student loans. Starting up a side investment can be very helpful and would take the burdens of debts and the financial struggles of been a student away.
I remembered my days back in university of Columbus I was faced with lots of students loan. Which set me back a lot on debt even after been a graduate.
Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.

Imagine spending 50k a year on university and not getting it done. Here in Germany we can chill and do whatever we want, but we also only spend around 650€ (around $750) a year on university. If I would spend 50k a year I would make sure I get the best grades and get it done as fast as possible

i’m british and we have to have some kind of idea of what we want to do by the age of 16, it’s wild to me that you can go to university in america and be undecided. but then again, i did history, media studies and psychology for my a levels but study Korean and linguistics at university so a levels aren’t set in stone
exactly i did btec level 3 science and end up getting accepted into medicine which was quite unexpected lol
Great video! Subbed 😁
Thank you!!🙏🏽❤️ Glad you enjoyed!
I love these, I live near the school and am always amazed to see so many smart kids hoping to spot the next President
Once you graduate, you realize that certain conversations are worth more than all of your college classes combined. Being in the company of certain people and learning from them can have a greater effect on your life than memorizing facts enough to pass a test. I wouldn't say degrees are totally useless but education still has a long way to go from hypotheticals to practical real-life skills that can actually make you successful.
I'm a high-school student and I really wish I could go to this university My school is really bad cs the teachers never try to explain lessons and all so I should repeat all the work that should be done at school alone at home and that's really hard cs it's like tutoring yourself and trying to get new things by yourself and without a help Ps: sorry for my English I'm still learning it
Your English is fine, especially as you are still learning.
Description of the entire Polish school🙂
My CS teacher is lazy af. He just skims through PowerPoint slides talking about a data structure, then makes us do assignments online. He hardly interacts with us and doesn't really seem interested in teaching at all. Plus, we're still constantly looking up the official documentation (he wants us to instead of asking him first), so it's not like it's anything you can't learn outside of school . . .
This makes me so excited!! I hope I make it
Awesome!!! Good luck!!😁🙏🏽
This video unintentionally motivated me
They seem so chill and here I am struggling and having no time to do anything as a 10th grader for my exams.
I still vividly remember when I was a freshman at Princeton and taking a Japanese class where we were practising talking about time... and the ecturer went around the class and asked each person (in Japanese) how many hours they slept each night. Pretty much every one said 4 or 5 hours... So when it got to me, I was super embarrassed to confess I slept 10 hrs every night ! (And still I managed to get good grades, work part-time, go to them gym every day, go off to horse shows with the equestrian team on the weekends, and do a lot / probably too much partying). I think there is quite a big difference between international students vs American students. e.g. in NZ, most of us (unless we are lucky enough to have rich parents) grow up knowing that as soon as we hit 18, we're out on our own and expected to be independent. i.e. move out of home, get a job, pay rent, and - if we go to uni - to fund our studies ourselves. (usually via a student loans for most students, with only limited scholarships which are mostly for those with really good grades). And e.g. when we go to university, while many will spend their first year in a hall of residence, after your first your you will typically spend the rest of your studies renting privately off-campus, working 20 hrs a week to pay your rent, cooking your own food, and so on. So I think we tend to learn time-management etc at an earlier age. Whereas in America the whole 'college fund' thing seems to make a lot college students still be more like children who are dependent on their parents, rather than independent adults like many uni students in other countries. (That was probably one of the most surprising things for me when I ended up studying in the US ...how many college students seemed really dependent on their parents. And not just financially. Like, a lot of my classmates would even have their parents help choose the courses they took?!)
I think you might die from a shock if you visited Europe then haha for us it seems so weird how people just leave their families when they turn 18. Especially in the South we live with our parents up until we get married lol
@@Alain816ived in the UK for a while, and it was much the same as NZ. Indeed, NZ culture of leaving home and becoming independent at 18 largely stems from our country's British heritage...If you are talking about other Countries in Europe though, then sure. I remember when I went to Greece in high school for an international maths competition, meeting students from various other European countries who went to high school till they were nearly 20?! lol.
@@tiger2010eve yess, it takes longer in many countries. In Germany students havr 13 years of school. So some turn 20 before they graduate 😁
Cool !!! It is really interesting and useful for me thanks a lot 😇😇😇
I’m glad you enjoyed!!
This is reassuring✨
It's amazing when we heard student's view about our life university. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
It’s funny that instead of brain, a huge section get into IV leagues because they do sports.
The reason the ivy league was created, is because elite schools wanted to play each other while maintaining high academic standards for their athletes. The athletes at these top institutions are just as smart as any of the other students.
the athletes literally said they were either valedictorian in high school or close to it lol
@@aLbotTV cap, I had teammates that were being recruited to go to Ivy Leagues and they were average students at best
Privilege. And “test optional” is a way to hide rewarding privilege.
@@joaquingrande371 then they were rich, had a parent who went or unbelievably good
Among the ivy league universities it's probably just MIT where students feel frustrated the most. :( It's them who actually don't get sleep.
First time watching your video dude. This is great 🌷🌷🌷
Thank you!!!
I’m loving that y’all got into Harvard 🎉PROUD OF YOU! I might try to get in.
Thats cool. I got into Stanford.
Iam lucky enough to find you earlier than many others. Hopefully you will remember me
I definitely will! Thank you for watching
Wow! Okay! I go to a German Highschool and even though during 7th and 8th grade I dreamt of going to harvard, I thought it would be just too hard and that you would need way to much talent and brain and a much better work ethic but now, watching this as a 10th grader at night after a seemingly never ending exam period I feel like I'm under much more pressure then they are😅 I dont think in the last weeks I ever used the breaks for something else then studying while they are standing there like they have no care in the world with their coffee... I found that really confusing but still interesting and educational! Thank you for making the clip. PS: Sorry for my Englisch! Obviously still learning ....
Don’t worry your English is perfect, and yes. They totally ruined my perspective abt Harvard ;(
@@laylasarmiento3308 Did you really want to be overloaded in work? You have to look at the different people too. The girls were there bc of sports, so maybe they’re a little less focused on outstanding academic results. The indian guy is doing maths, which can be slightly easier if you’re highly analytical. And Jose indicated he had to work his arse off. The thing is, they still have to work so so much but their is also time for leisure and relaxing. Luckily. Otherwise they would all be burnt out in no time. They surely have to study hours after hours daily. But don’t limit yourself to studying. I am a law student at a high ranking University in Europe and trust me I have had plenty of time to take breaks and watch entire series like The Office, Friends, Breaking bad whilst gaming, still doing social activities (scouting, going out…) and in the meanwhile scoring above average resultd. It’s all about time management.
Klingt so als könntest du es ja in ein paar Jahren schaffen mit Harvard ;)
your spelling is on point your good 👌
@@cr_louis2683 Yes. Those are valid points. You're probably right. And wow! Congrats on you going to Law School!
i love this so much - this student is studying applied math “i thought it would be harder”
So satisfying to watch the guy do the “respiratory etiquette” in 1:24 …
