Finally, a “Day in the Life” video that actually covers what it’s supposed to cover and doesn’t spend 80% of the time on what they are eating on there 8 breaks a day! Good job! Thank you.
the campus is so beautiful!! it feels like i’m actually inside of harvard. i’m in the medical field but i love seeing others thrive in different careers/fields :,)
Thank you! I'm so glad you felt like you were spending the day in my shoes-that was my goal in making this video.
Really good camera work
I really enjoyed your tour of the campus and inside some buildngs. I think you must be doing well, judging by your activities. I was especially glad you included the portrait of Archibald Cox. I remember when the law school honored him by placing his portrait in the school. He was a great teacher and a great lawyer, and I was pleased to be in his constitutional law seminar back in 1967-68
Thank you, Larry! I’m glad I could give you a walk down memory lane in this video. The history at HLS is amazing and it’s really wonderful to be a part of it in these halls.
I remember my first week at HLS Archibald Cox sat down at the same long table in Langdell and opened a book. I thought "Archie and me studying the law!"
Yeah this is by far the best HLS vlog I’ve seen thus far. The video quality, the B-roll of campus, and your voice is so calming lol chef’s kiss! Hope to see more videos like these!!
I'm BEAMING after reading your glowing feedback, Amber! Thank you so much.

I saw the instution likes Harvard many time.
The study are so hard .I am citizen from Bangladesh.
I am not a law student. I’m a stay at home mom in a small beach town and this video was amazing! You are brilliant and this video was beautiful and so relaxing!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Lauren! Never say never, you may decide to go to law school one day. 😉
Beautiful. So nice to watch. And very different from my university experiences: I had two jobs, therefore no time for any use of calming spaces or extra programmes besides my normal study lessons. My campus was ugly, outdated, run-down, cold - all in all unpleasing. Because of my two jobs and some responsibilities at home (typical for migrant kids) I had no time at all to connect with anybody. And because of the constant high stress I developed an anxiety disorder and had to quit my studies. Now, after 15 years, I build myself a very good career, but I still grieve the missed opportunities and of course a degree. I wish I could go back in time to lose one job and move out from home.
But that's why I love to see young people with great or at least better experiences than me. Cherish them. Treasure them. Live them. And have the time of your life.
Every time I see a video like this I feel like I’m already a part of HLS community even though I’m still at the lsat stage… thank you so much for everything and please keep updating!!
That's the goal! The HLS community and atmosphere is wonderful, my goal for this video was to have you guys truly see it through my eyes. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Letianyu! More videos to come.
Awesome video! I've been nervous about the work life balance in law school so I'm happy to see that you are able to make time for eating, study breaks, student orgs, etc.
Work life balance is definitely tricky when you’re a 1L in law school, but it gets much easier when you’re a 2L (me now) and even more so when you’re a 3L. I find that I’m far more productive and focused after I take a break, so I encourage doing things for your own happiness even when things get stressful!
I absolutely love this video! Such a chill but also surreal vibe. Although I just sent out my applications, I can’t even imagine being here. It seems so far out of reach and so sophisticated. I also love the commentary throughout the video.
Hi JMan,
Harvard Law also seemed very surreal to me when I visited for the first time, but I promise the awe wears off and it feels just like home after a month! Best of luck to you!
So interesting to see how others live and experience life and how we all enjoy and gravitate towards different facets of life. I wanted to be a lawyer for the majority of my childhood and teens...but things changed and I work with deaf and blind children, such a big difference in careers but all jobs are so important in their own ways. Nice video!
Highly manifesting that you'll do more vlogs like this girl! It's so aesthetically pleasing and your voice over is so soothing to hear! A new subscriber here!💕
I'm so happy to read this, more vlogs are on the way!
Babs! I wish you would post more, and more frequently. You’re videos are well put together and are satisfying to watch 💞 I’m not currently in law, nor have I been previously, however your videos have been satisfactory to watch and leaving me wanting more!
Thank you for showing us your day in a life! It’s been my dream to go to Harvard Law ever since I was in 5th grade and now I’m going into my freshman year of high school. I hope you have a great summer!
Study hard and best of luck to you!
I just wanna say how funny this is because I’ve been wanting to go to Harvard law since 5th grade and I’m going to be a freshman in high school
Wonderful video showing the beauty of your campus and the reality of your schedule. I applaud your involvement in teaching and associations. Congratulations as you continue pursuing your career.💐
I'm so happy to see you're posting again. I plan to go to law school, and your videos are helpful and motivating. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. 😊
Hi Deija, it'll be your turn to study in law school before you know it. I'm glad I could provide a nugget of inspiration for you on your journey!
Just got into HLS; your vid is making me even more excited!
This was a great look into HLS. Thank you so much! Maybe I'll see you there (fingers crossed) in 2023. You gave wonderful advice...thank you so much!
I’m not a law student but I loved this video! 💕such great content I loved how smooth the videography was, how clear the audio was, and how well spoken you are! Definitely subscribing!
What a sweet comment! Thank you so much, Ashley. Your kind feedback made my day!
I will never understand how you consistently improve upon perfection each and every time with these videos. I always find myself thinking "I would have LOVED this when I was applying."-- you are filling such a need and are absolutely killing it while doing so!!
This means so much to me J.R., thank you!
This is great! My daughter attends HLS and this gave me a nice perspective on her daily routine. Thanks!😀
This is so aesthetic and your voice is so calming. Hope to see more such videos
I really enjoyed watching your vlog! I am thinking of applying there in the next two years and this vlog gave me nothing but motivation to focus on my path getting there 💞 thank you
Hi Kavya,
I am so happy you found this video motivating-I find visualization so important when it comes to pursuing big goals. I started thinking about law school seriously when I was in your shoes two years out, good luck on your journey!
I really like this kind of vlog. Really shows me everything and not too much talking or face. Great job
Video Requests/Idea:
- 5 things you LOVE & HATE about HLS
- Things to consider when choosing a law school we don't talk enough about (student org's, clinical opportunities, exchange etc.)
- Managing Law School Debt (working, financial aid/scholarships at HLS and elsewhere etc.)
These are great suggestions Alex, thank you for sharing!!
Great ideas!
This was about as boring as my 3 years at HLS
@@forward989 What was? The vid?...
@@AlexG-oo8kt Not the filmmaking aspect, the content. The flashbacks. Not the happiest of times.
This is a vibe, looking forward to watching more of these!
This is high praise, thank you!
"Most law-school classrooms are arranged in roughly the same way. Broken usually by two aisles, concentric semicircles of seats and desks issue back from the podium, resulting in a kind of amphitheater. In Pound, where we had met Mann, the newly constructed classrooms had been built with remarkable compactness. But in Austin the rooms were ancient and enormous. The seats and desks were in rows of yellowed oak, tiered steeply toward the rear. At its highest, the classroom was nearly forty feet, with long, heavy curtains on the windows and dark portraits of English judges, dressed in their wigs and robes, hanging in gilt frames high on the wall. It was an awesome setting, especially when its effect was combined with the stories we had all heard about Perini. There was a tone of tense humor in the conversations around me, most voices somewhat hushed. As I headed for my seat, I overheard a number of people say, 'I don’t want it to be me,' referring to whom Perini would call on."
- Scott Turow; "One L"
Thank you for this walkthrough! I'm an incoming 1L at HLS and this was really helpful.
Wow! Congratulations to you Gabriel and welcome to Harvard Law School! You’re going to love it here.
@@BanterwithBabs Thank you so much! I saw you in the welcome packet and instantly recognized you, hahaha. Hoping I end up in my own section 7
@Gabriel Babuch
RE: "I'm an incoming 1L at HLS and this was really helpful."
What does 1L mean? (obviously, I'm not a law student)
@@spaceman081447 Law school is 3 years, so the first year of law school is 1L, second is 2L, so forth
Waiting for your upcoming videos. BTW recently discovered your channel. Great content babs! Very helpful for LSAT students.
I love these videos!! Super helpful in preparing for the long road ahead 💕
Thank you so much, Sierra! I hope you enjoyed spending the day in my shoes. :)

At the moment I am studying at Tashkent state university of law. After graduation I am gonna apply for Harvard law. One more time thank you so much
Thank you for such positive feedback, and best of luck to you, Avezkhan!
Thanks for sharing this inside look at Harvard. The campus is beautiful. It's making me miss time on my campus.
Thank you so much! The HLS campus really is beautiful and I try to soak it in every chance I get.
LOVED this! I hope you do more 😍
Thank you! I will!
The classrooms just give off amazing vibes idk
This video is very well done. Good job Babs!
Interesting, informative, and entertaining! The cinematic-quality is excellent! Wishing you good-luck with all of your pursuits and endeavours.
Thank you for such high praise, Keith! It means a lot.
@@BanterwithBabs You're welcome! Thanks for your reply Babs!
Thank you for taking us in ur harvard a day in life. This vid.makes me motivated more in becoming lawyer someday, since im also aspiring lawyer. And I truly love ur vid. hoping for more vids. in ur journey being a law student.
I'm so happy you were inspired by my video. Good on luck on your path to becoming a full-fledged lawyer, Justine!
Thank you so much for sharing your week with us! Could you please do a video at some point about work-life balance at law school and mental health?
That's such a great idea, Rachel! Will do.
I would love to see another video like this one. I am also curious about the housing there, and how the semesters are. I really enjoyed this video and I am looking at applying to Harvard Law soon.
What a beautiful scene to walk through to get to the library. The trees changing colors are stunning. I would love to sit under them (if it was warm enough) to study or read.
It does get pretty cold on campus some days but the day I filmed the library scene it was gorgeous outside! Fall is the prettiest time around here in my opinion.
Hey friend coglatulation even me am studing law are you first or second year
I love this video, it has enlightened me about Harvard Law School. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, Nanabanyin!
This is so awesome! I love the vlogs! Please make more
You bet, Dencil!
It's always been my dream to study in Harvard law school. And by the grace of God Almighty I will be there to study in Jesus name , Amen. Thank you Jesus for this great opportunity to study in Harvard law school.

CONGRATULATIONS on getting into Harvard Law School, Jack! What a huge accomplishment, I look forward to congratulating you in person when you're here on campus. If you see me, don't be shy and say hello!

This is a great video! Thanks for sharing!
I usually don't like background music in vlogs, but I loved this one!!! great video :)
Thanks Alex! I’m very discerning about which tracks I select for my videos, glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best "day in the life of.." that I've ever watched . Good video quality , well explained .
Such an amazing video!!! Loved it.
Thank you, Melanie!
In love with it!!!
I also go to college in Boston and its crazyyy how different our daily routines are. I love the Harvard area I wish my school had those calming study spaces and cool lunch spots.
Boston is beautiful, sometimes I wish our campus was closer to the hustle and bustle of downtown like yours!
Love this!
What an extraordinary experience. Albeit virtual. Thank you for making and sharing. ❤
It really was a fabulous law school experience. Glad you enjoyed it!
so nice. makes me wanna go back to uni days
Wonderful. Thank you so much for showing us Harvard Law.
Loved this so much!
THANK YOU for this💛💛💛
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video!
i’m just a kid rn but its one of my dreams to get into law school and I hope you succeed!
I never knew I wanted to be a Harvard Law student until just now. Wow!
My favorite vlog about Harvard!!!
Thank you, Yana!
Wow sister! Soo aesthetic 🌟💟 i felt i am walking in harward, all thanks to your hardwork. I am trying to get into harward for undergrad. Wish me best of luck
I'm so happy you can envision yourself here-that was my goal for this video. Best of luck to you with your application, Muhammad!
The campus is beautiful. I have seen Berkley and Stanford in real life definitely and hopefully I can visit Harvard one day!
Love the vibe!
I have to comment to say, fantastic camera work!!👏Keep it up bliss is the word.
Thank you so much Thato. This Day in the Life video was my first big B-roll project so it means a lot to hear people liked my vision/approach!
Hey, I am a follower of ur Vlog from South Korea. Thumbing through the pith of ur progress, I kinda got the feeling it was like making of "the One L": from How u got a score 175 to the legendary AMES moot court competition. Congrats on ur success and wish u all the best. BTW, I was mesmerized by the video quality of ur uploads. Do not forget ur viewers all around the world wherever u are and make sure to share more of ur experiences at Harvard with us!!!
Hi Gowoon,
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. It's funny seeing how far I've come since my first video, it's really like a dream to see my efforts pay off years later. It's viewers like you that keep me going and eager to produce new content, thank you for your support. Sending you well wishes in South Korea!
Babs
Looking forward to more your law school vlog videos!
Thank you, Chrissy! More to come!
It's all cool ❤️... Amazing😭❤️
We have you been Babs?!!!! We have missed you. We need more videos. Sending you lots of love from Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
this is so good. amazing video thank you
One of the best law vlogs
Thank you so much!
This video is gold.
Your voice is gold.
Everything is gold.
Wow! Thank you so much!
I wish for everyone good luck and success in entering the law school definately a must .
Great Video! can't wait for more!
Thank you! More to come!
Cool video. Great quality, nice vibe, and a very pleasant young lady ( which is a rarity for a law school student...lol). I'm going to Columbia in the Fall for my M.S. and it's got an awesome scene too! Best of luck. Kick some butt!
I really enjoyed your video a lot and as some have already commented, your voice and way of filming and how engaging you are is a big part of why your video is so good. I look forward to seeing others. I suppose I would love to have had a chance to listen in on an excerpt from a class, etc....I wonder if the teachers would allow you to film their classes and if the TEACHER decides or agrees to just a 30 second agreeable sample, of which they could choose ,etc.....if you could show some classroom material. I suppose that gets tricky, but it would be so nice to sit in on a little excerpt from a class. Also, have you ever watched: "The Paper Chase" series which aired on PBS starring John Houseman? His character is rumored to have been inspired by a very demanding Harvard Law professor (contract law) from years ago. I was wondering if people ever talk about the series. WONDERFUL video and looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Hi John, thank you for your positive feedback! It means a lot to me. I imagine our professors will not allow class recordings, so I can’t promise any future videos that include lectures. I’m not sure who the contracts professor in The Paper Chase is based off of, but I can think of couple off the top of my head who are equally as tough! It’s a great movie.
I really enjoyed the video! Thank you 💕
Happy to hear it! Thank you, Adriana!
Thank you so much for sharing your law school life with this great video~👍🏻 Harvard Law School is my dream law school… It’s so encouraging~! Thank you~~
Thank you so much. Harvard Law was my dream school too, best of luck to you on your law school journey!
@@BanterwithBabs Thank you so much~ Wish you a blessed New Year & my best wishes for the rest of your studies at Harvard Law~! Blessings~🤗
omg I've been to that side of the campus once and just loved it! You guys have such cool buildings!
Thanks Jordan! What part of Harvard campus do you hail from? The entire school system is gorgeous in my opinion!
The campus is beautiful and the filming is equally beautiful....
Manifesting watching this video for study at harvard law school soon 🎓
Great content as always! ✊🏾✊🏾
Thank you, Rehan!
Can’t wait to go to law school!:)
Mam your presentation was just precise and animated. Keep it up
Wow! Can you talk about your study habits/schedule? This was awesome but I’m thinking, when is she reading? :) love your content
