    11 Lessons I Learned at Harvard :) Watch to see some silly things I've gathered in my 4 years here. This video isn't so much informative, as it is me just wanting to make people smile. Enjoy!
    Bonus lesson: ANYTHING can be made into a competition. My Sophomore year I applied to work at the homeless shelter, and it was so competitive that I. didn't. get. it. Lol, Harvard.
    Also, I graduate May 26th, not June (I was a little late editing this video).

    Wow! I've been watching you for a longtime.. I'm an 8th grader and I've been watching you and your videos for nearly your entire time at Harvard(yes I started watching youtube maybe a bit too young) anyways congratulations on graduating and thank you for being an inspiration! I hope life treats you well after graduation

      Hello +YesReneau, great videos! They helped me out a lot. I am actually taking notes in a notebook haha. I am currently in year 12 (British system), your 11th grade. I am doing IB, and after doing the exams, I will get my results on July, I think it is. So, when am I supposed to send my grades to Harvard, for example, if I applied? I am very confused and worried about this, because would I need to take a "gap" year? Thanks
      PD: Could you make a video with friends you have from harvard which were international students (non-native english speakers if possible) plsss!!! It would be great

      +YesReneau Taylor it's Justin Massler/Harry Potter, can you give me a call on my cell which is 646-706-6938? I called Professor Emma Rothschild who is the sister of Jacob Rothschild, the real Lord Voldemort, and we won't have any problems from him anymore. Did you know Voldemort's sister is a Harvard Professor? Anyways I know it's tough calling me based on the truth but just give it a shot, see if you can. I'm just in a hotel in Midtown Manhattan and trying to get Kim Kardashian to call me as I'm Saint West's real father and she's having a minor identity crisis adjusting to acting socially based on the actual truth.

    "Old money exists and it looks like MV salmon colored pants" YES. As someone who worked as a caterig server on MV this is beyond true. Also, working at these weddings, I noticed that all these people, when toasting the bride and the groom, feelt he need to say they WENT TO HARVARD as though this is a contributibg factor to their life long happiness in marriage 😁

      amazing...anyway i wanted to give you some "lessons" since you're a cute girl but i didn't go to harvard is that ok????!!!! anyway.....the word anyway is "alora" in italian and this cute little italian girl i know says that way too much but she's a sweetheart: let me explain :p she thinks i'll be rich one day cause I went to a pretty good business school(not harvard) anyway i like saying anyway a lot now and i'm basically flirting with half my town. I live in Romania so the girls are way too hot to not fall in LOVE on the streets. Nice talk girl, anyway....so amazing that you went to harvard but honestly why don't you tell me why an 800 gmat was not accepted ;p

    • @ericandrusca3549
      @ericandrusca3549 Před 5 lety

      do you believe in God? is that in vogue now?! let me share with you are proof I made of God:
      for the set of reals to not be vapid you must have a first real-> a prime object exists that created or came before all others(for there to be a second object there must be a first etc). then what is the characateristic of the first?- it could not have started(if the first object has a beginning then it is no longer first and therefore it did not begin- duh) Cool, so a prime creator must exist being the first object that never began and started others. This disproves atheism.
      I came up with that myself one day. This is actually the most important proof in religious philosophy(i do philosophy- please keep reading I think I love you????)

    I just started college and I'm terrified of presenting anything. I've never done a presentation. Do you have any tips I for people like me? ):

      Yep! 1) Practice the presentation until you have it memorized by heart. 2) Remember that nobody is really listening too hard to your presentation, they're more concerned with (not) skrewing up their own presentations. 3) Stop focusing on how things could go wrong for you, and start focusing on how you can help other people understand the subject you're explaining. A helping mindset takes emphasis off of self-centered fears. Your worry changes from "oh gosh what if my presentation sucks" to "oh wow I really want my classmates to understand this".

      +YesReneau Thank You! I cried today seeing everyone else's presentations. I'm really lucky that the professor said I could give it privately in her office. But, I still wanna get over this fear.
