5AM Harvard Midterm Day Vlog 📝 Study Motivation, Productive Routine, Exam Prep

Thank you for watching. Around 7.30 right now and I'm just getting ready to do some studying and then head out for the day. Today is going to be such an insane crazy day. I think it's probably like the craziest day I've had so far because I have a stats midterm and an econ quiz and my day has four classes so it's just gonna be kind of insane. I'm kind of stressed low-key for all of my midterms. This is my second to last one. After this I just have one more on Thursday so tomorrow will just be a study day Yeah I don't know I feel like my stats classes are just all really hard and it's so challenging for me to do well in these midterms just because there's so many people who like are just so good at stats so I'm just trying to scrape by and use my limited hard studying abilities and good study habits to try and do the best that I can. But honestly I feel like in these past two years like my academic experiences have really helped me to finally let go a little bit of like needing Getting perfect grades and like getting academic validation at the end of the day. This is not that important. I will forget about it in a few months. So just try the hardest that you can and then anything else that happens is out of your control. If you're also going through a challenging midterm season right now, I just hope that this is a reminder that everything will be okay and you should take it slow and not take it too hard on yourself. Okay, but on a different note, I feel like life is on the up right now because after this, my parents are coming for family weekend. So Harvard has like family weekend and it's mostly for freshmen and juniors. My parents do not come for freshman year, but they're coming for junior year. So that's exciting because hopefully I can go out and eat some good food and just take a break after this super crazy week. I stayed up until like It's 2 a.m. this past Saturday, which has not happened in a very, very long time. Like, no matter how dire it gets, I usually don't stay up that late. So, that was a new experience. After family weekend, it will be holiday weekend soon. It's going to be Halloween. So, that will also be fun, and then it will just be November, and then it will... basically be end of the school year. I feel like this semester is also flying by which I'm not complaining about because it's been really rough but I'm just so looking forward to next semester. I think I've decided on studying abroad. I've honestly not been thinking about it because I've been so busy so I really need to like sit down and journal it out but as of now I think I'm leaning towards studying abroad which will be so much fun and I'll just be traveling all around Southeast Asia so I'm super excited for that. I'm going to do some studying and then I'll head down Thank you all for breakfast. I put on my jewelry, switching on my necklaces, and oh my god, also, I got new samples for Manifoo, and I really like them. So, this is the clear cords, and this is the rose cords. I really, really like the rose cords. It literally looks like a pink gummy. I think it's so cute, and I really like the color. We're doing a wear test right now, so hopefully, I'm going to set a flag because I want to get this done. I will try and pre-launch it. By November we are going to get the pre-launch out by November and then launch hopefully will happen before end of year. Anyways, too much to think about. I feel like there's just been so much going on in my brain right now. Now because of midterms I'm actually going a little crazy. Rings, a jewelry stack Okay, I'm going to take a quick break from studying because I want to share with you the amazing sponsor of today's video, Paperlike. As you already know, I've had a Paperlike screen protector for all of my years in college, and I recently switched to the Paperlike 3, which is the perfect screen protector for students, creators, artists, designers, and anyone. For me, as a double major Harvard student who is taking five courses this semester, I use my iPad every single day for hours to do my homework, annotate my readings, study, and more. And when I have to quickly take lecture notes in class, I love how this high quality screen protector feels exactly like premium paper which makes my digital notes feel so natural. And I love how my iPad has the natural paper feel without giving up screen clarity. A paper-like screen protector also preserves the Apple Pencil's low latency performance, so every stroke lands exactly where you expect it. In my machine learning stats class, I have to take notes in real time because my lectures aren't recorded, so Paperlike has been so helpful for me to capture all the information. I also love how easy it is to apply with their butterfly application system, which means dust free and perfectly aligned installation on the first try. And each pack comes with two screen protectors, so I know that this will last me for years. If you're also a student who uses your iPad a lot for homework, notes, and honestly anything, then you can get your own Paperlike screen protector on their website. Check out Paperlike by clicking the link in my description box down below. Here's the fit. It got so cold in Boston this Monday. So now I'm in like a puffer every single day. Let's go get breakfast Over to you. And that's why I feel very light. Thank you. So, on that plot, I mean, it's much bigger. There were 28 of them. Just finished my class, so now I'm at the library to do some studying for my midterm. I have classes later, but I'm just going to go to the Harvard Art Museum Cafe to get a little drink. I've been really liking one of their hojicha lattes, so I might get that again, or a matcha, we'll see. And then I'm going to get some sandwiches before my class with a blueberry matcha. It's my first time getting a blueberry matcha from the art museum. Let's give it a try. Wait, that's really good. I decided since it's an exam day I probably need some more caffeine so I got the matcha instead of the hojicha. I just finished my stats class. I'm heading to my econ class and I have a quiz and then after that class is my stat midterm. Let's go! So that it is covered in, um, um, there must be some. Oh no, if you spoke too loud. Just finished my quiz, and now it's time for my midterm. I'm feeling kind of tired, which is not a good sign because I feel like I need to be in the best mindset to think. But hopefully, I'll be more awake when I get the exam. We got this. Two-hour exam, and then we can go get dinner with friends. Just finished my stats midterm. It was kind of diabolical, but it's okay because now I'm going to go get dinner with my friends. Or he might mark the thing. Riot and Ponytail. Oh, yes. The product is so good. Thank you. They're holocaust people in this spot. Thank you. It just turns up. Good morning, thank you. Ice cream. Hello. Okay, I'm back home. I got an amazing dinner. It was like Spanish tapas and it was so good. I got it with my friends and then we went to get ice cream from this place called Honeycomb Creamery and they had a bunch of seasonal fall flavors and I got the pumpkin cheesecake flavor. It was so good. I don't want to study even though I have another midterm on Thursday. So tomorrow we'll be able to study lock-in day. But today I kind of just want to do some of the other stuff that I've been putting off and taking a break because the past few days have been absolutely crazy I really should take a break. But I feel a little too happy for someone who like just failed a midterm. I got a text from one of the TFs in the course who I'm friends with and he literally said that like I think everyone failed and the average is probably going to be below 50. I lowkey thought I could get a 60. I guess I was too confident in myself because I don't think I did that great but we'll see how it goes. I'm probably going to film like a midterm grade reaction video so hopefully that will be up soon. Fingers crossed because I bombed my first midterm. Anyways, I'm feeling very energetic but I'm going to eat my vitamins. And then I'm going to do some journaling, reading, and then go to bed early. And then tomorrow will be an early morning. So let's get ready for now. Oh, good morning. It is almost 8.30. I woke up a lot later today. I was supposed to wake up at 6 again. I was just so tired. I didn't even know why. I feel like I have a bit of sleep debt. It's just kind of crazy because I try to sleep like 7 to 8 hours every day. I feel like I just, I need a lot of sleep. And I was just feeling really tired and I did not want to get up. I think I'm also just like kind of mentally exhausted. So. I decided that I'm listening to my body and I just continued sleeping. But I do have class at 9, so I had to get up. I know I'm slightly running late, so I might not have enough time for breakfast, but that's okay. Today is going to be a study day. I only have one class. I'm getting lunch with a friend and then I'm studying with a friend. I want to start filming more videos on YouTube, so if you guys have any videos you want to see, please let me know in the comments. And I need some motivation, so I feel like if there's something that I need to do, then I would be more motivated to film. Okay, I need to get going. I'm running late. Let's go. I'll see you in class. Here's today's fit. Top is from Aritzia. Pants are from Brandy. I'm not the best. I don't really like the shape, but I'm tired, so let's go. But now let's go get lunch. I had such a great lunch with my friend. We were talking a lot, but it was so much fun. And now I have to head to the Harvard Art Museum to meet with someone, and then I'm just gonna start it there with a drink. Let's go. I wanna show you guys the Pistachio Latte. It's so good. Back here, we're gonna get the... Oh, where'd it go? I'm starting to speak now. Tasty. It's 7pm now and I'm gonna do some more studying for my midterm tomorrow but I need to shower because they're stopping hot water at 8pm today so I need to shower before then because the next time I'll be on again will be after 2am and I will not be up. Let's go shower and then I'm going to study but anyways that is the end of today's vlog. I hope that you enjoyed it and I'll see you guys in the next vlog and good luck with midterms if you have any. Thank you for watching. Love you. Bye!
