A Day in the Life of a Harvard Computer Science Student

Other important links below ⬇️
I'm John Fish, and this video is a day in my life as a Harvard Computer Science student. I'm a freshman at Harvard college that makes videos, video essays, and vlogs about my life.

I'm about to launch into a pretty entrepreneurially focused summer--I've got a notebook coming as well as a clothing line (see links below). I'd love for you to join me.

"I'm really tired so I'm going to switch gears and do some math"

Weird flex, but okay

[miream]

You really seem like that student that deserves to be in Harvard.

John Fish: 9 hours of sleep in Harvard
me: 6 hours of sleep in high school

"I'm really tired so I'm going to switch gears and do some linear algebra" sure, that's all we do when we are tired.

Imagine this guy in the future being your boss he would never understand why you couldn't get it done

[hate]

I can literally feel myself failing classes because of this video.

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THIS MAN MADE A MASTERFUL VLOG WHILE TAKING A WHOLE DAY OF CLASSES AT HARVARD

This guy is getting 9 hours of sleep. However, being a Computer Science student, I am really motivated by you.

This is what high school teachers expect students to be like, and then there is everyone else.

“I’m getting tired so I’m gonna go do some math”. That’s crazy

[adenosinetp]

I don't know why, but your eyes doesn't give the 9hrs sleep vibe..

[incheslong]

You did as much as I do in a school year but in a day.

[poopieyoutube]

This guy is like the person my mom compares me to



"Im getting a lil tired, so im gonna do some math"



Like wth

[kavishganapathy]

Now i know why I didn't get into Harvard.

[alright]

<He woke before the alarm to record the video />


RESPECT

[mikiiii]

He goes to harvard.
Studies computer science
Is really smart
Gets everything done.
Is organized.

And gets *9 hours of sleep*


EDIT: WOAH THIS GOT TONS OF LIKES

[egjrl]

i’m supposed to be studying rn but im watching a video on youtube about studying

[williamzhan]

For those interested in what John wrote under motivations:

"School isn't enough for me to become the person I want to become, I need to use my time outside of school to the fullest of my abilities."

[Unintelligentful]

Dude is studying at Harvard, made a notebook business, meditates, works out, reads books, learns a language, eats regularly and had enough time to film and edit a YouTube video and gets 9 hours of sleep.

Me: Gets up at 2pm and eats some takeaway food, takes a nap, does nothing productive all day and then goes to bed at 5am.

Honestly, I like this guy. He's hard working, motivated and just seems like a really cool guy. I love how he spread out his work throughout the day (instead of doing 4 hour cram session at the end or smth). He uses his time wisely, notice how he said he is planning to read 50 pages, but he didnt set a time for it. It's because he's doing it throughout the day, any chance he gets. He values his time (even published a book!) as well as sleep and exercise, and just gets so happy and passionate when he talks about his studies. That's how you stay mentally healthy, by finding balance. This guy is a genuine role model, new subscriber here!
