Do you ever feel like burnt out at Harvard at all or do you, like, manage it pretty well?

Past simple

Gerund

My name is Jose and I'm studying economics.

My name is Paurakh and I'm studying applied math.

My name is Caroline. I'm currently undecided.

I'm Grace and I'm studying Earth and Planetary Science.

So, the first, like, essential question is, what do you think is the biggest stereotype of Harvard students?

Because I'm like the least competitive person I know,

and, like, everyone here, I feel like, just want everyone else to succeed.

I don't know. It's like, everybody is, like, smart or like, everybody is always, like ,studying.

I feel like people think that the majority of Harvard students only do school,

but so many people here are involved in like so much else.

Like, everyone has their own story here and like have- like, just crazy things.

-What's your story? -My story? -I put you on the spot.

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you about.

So, like, how often do you study a week do you think?

No, there's definitely work to be done at Harvard, but, like, people have fun.

So, what is the average Friday night look for you?

From Monday or from Sunday night to Thursday night, the library is open 24 hours,

-Yeah, same at my school, or nine, actually. -Nine, oh, okay.

-They just know no one's gonna study. -Yeah.

So, like, Friday night after eight o'clock, everybody's just like, we're done for the day, we're done  for the weekend.

We play lacrosse and then we're involved in different clubs.

So, it depends on, like, what I have for the day.

I feel like the time that we do have free here because we practiced until every morning, we're always in the library doing work.

Like, we find, like, we never have a minute at our dorm, but it is fun.

-And we all, like, work together. -Oh, really? -Yeah.

-It's all like... all of our classes are really collaborative. -Oh, nice. -Yeah, yeah, which is so nice.

Most of the studies happens on Sundays, right?

Yeah, Sunday we- everybody gets back on the grind.

In the last few weeks, we've had tournaments on Sundays, so we haven't been able to.

-Yeah, we've had to, like, space it out. -Yeah.

We're supposed to, like, we're really been trying to get it done earlier in the week.

Sometimes I do find that I, like, push it off until Sunday, but we always find a way to get it done.

But, not to say that I'm, like, flying through everything easily, but I did definitely expect it to be like, I would be at the library from morning to night.

Don't you think it's, like, very rigorous here, or like, compared to your expectations?

-I'm overwhelmed, but... -Because I feel like you always have to be doing something.

Do you think... Do you have a consistent sleep schedule or...?

-Twelve, one. -How about you? -Ummm, me... twelve, one, two, three. It really depends.

You have, like, organized practice at three a.m.?

Yeah, like people come in and they make us do like drills.

-You just got coffee and you're good to go? -Oh, yeah.

-What's the earliest class? -9a.m.s -Okay. Sounds good.

-Mine are cancelled because of the strike. -Oh, yeah.

Yeah, mine are cancelled too, but we're go get breakfast.

-They're fighting for better wages. -Yes.

-And also, like, all the professors are really supportive.

Do you guys, like, procrastinate a lot or you more, like, get it done?

-At the end of the day, everybody procrastinates. -Yeah, it's not, like, different here.

No, yeah. That's one thing that's changed from high school. I used to be on my phone a lot.

But here, it's like we're moving from one thing to another.

Rarely am I like... cuz' I was -Like, less than two hours a day. -I'm obsess with TikTok, but I don't have a lot of time for TikTok.

-56 minutes. -Oh, today, but like, on average?

-Oh, on average. -Oh, an hour already today.

Over quarantine, mine is like eight hours, but here it's like- max two hours.

And here, I'm so directionally challenged, so I have to maps everything. -Oh, yeah. That's what mines comes from.

-I've lost a lot of... I've lost like two pairs of Airpods. -Oh, wow.

Yeah, so, I can't. I've been playing music.

-It's four hours, two minutes average. -Four hours, okay.

-It's really hard, though. -That's hard, man.

Oh, yeah, like, what's your main app that you use? TikTok?

YouTube? Well, you'll be on YouTube now. Watch yourself.
