5 years of MIT in 20 minutes

Two degrees and 5 years later, this one's to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and everyone I've met along the way. Here's my life as an MIT student... My entire college experience. IHTFP.
It's not quite "A day in the life of an MIT student" or an MIT vlog but I hope all of you looking for that will find this helpful :)

Thanks everyone for the support. If you liked this video, it would mean the world to me if you shared it with someone too. Someday in the future these will be the good old days :')

Wow you survived mit congratulations♥️🍾

That's why I'm writing this here because I think that in the future, these words will be an irreplaceable memory for me, and when I look back, I will realize that I have achieved something.(Thanks God)

[@Nedwin]

you still have a long way to go. Be happy for what you've achieved and for the professional world you'll meet in the future.

I've followed your coding tutorial content for years. I had no idea you were still a student, which speaks volumes to how talented you are. Here's to bigger and better things for you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. - JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD AND GOD HIMSELF

Hello, I am curently in high shcool and very interested in applying to MiT, could you tell about your story?

[@rabbitsforyang8273]

@@ErekeBoranrich course 6/15 class of 2002 here, now doing new MIT student sendoffs in my city to enroll focus on telling your own story show understanding of what only MIT offers, which is not exclusively tech, but the opportunity to push boundaries and fail, to learn how to fail and pivot, to thrive on the risk of failure for only those who are not afraid to fail could succeed at true innovation

[@Oldwhpsian]

I've always dreamed of going to study at MIT. This video just made me want it even more! It looks so stunning. I've already graduated from two universities, so MIT probably wouldn't be the same experience as it would have been when I was younger... but one can dream I guess :) So glad you got to have such amazing experiences!

Congratulations!!! Your'e one of the most inspirational guide of my learning journey. I'll be here for your next chapters!

[@jamirajamira7303]

Watching this has made me wonder what I did back in my university days... absolutely nothing in comparison. Well done on the 5 years of MIT and living life to the full. Someday you may look back thinking "what if", but you don't need to worry about that because you've done absolutely everything that you could do during this time.

[@faithfulinspiration593]

I really admire your character. You've offer much hope to those who didn't know where to start. Please don't stop making your videos.

[@amerjabar7825]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen in my entire life. It is just as if I were dreaming of living those years and it is coming to an end. I cannot express how moved I was by watching the video.

Hi, Kylie, just watched this video and read the blog carefully, can't express how touching and inspiring it is. Your are so sincere, brave, ambitous and inspiring, which shows the growth path of an promising woman all the way. Just want to say thank you and looking forward to more videos. Wish you all the best. 🥰

[@yadavshivaji87]

What an educational journey !!! This inspired me. Graduating with a major in EECS and Physics while acing in figure skating is out of a world feat. I can’t even imagine the work that must have gone into it. Although I’m removed from graduation by a decade, this video showed me how rich the experience at MIT is PS: I have an MBA and work at McKinsey & Co; however, I have always wanted to research AI and ML. Now, I don’t have the strength to go through the grind.

[@frankfeng936]

Great life story! Thanks for sharing. Hope you are having fun at work!

[@mustaqeemalmahdi4596]

I kept crushing, smiling, laughing throughout the video. Its my dream to study undergrad in one of the top schools in the world like MIT. And watching you achieving it felt like it was me who was watching my future. Truly astounding. 😊

Kylie, this is an amazing video! I'm coming back to it a year later. It makes me tear up and I'm only a mom of a course 6 SB '17, M'Eng '19. I can't imagine how students feel when watching this. MIT is an experience for sure - lifelong friends. I recognized your bestie (AA) too! People think MIT is a huge university, but not only is it a small school, the Infinite makes sure you recognize your classmates. You did a great job capturing the MIT experience!

[@skeletonboxers7336]

ive long come to terms with never making the final freshmen admission to MIT in 2017, i was waitlisted, but in the end never made it. ended up staying at an in state university to complete both a CS and Mech Eng degree though! at the end of the day, it was more a matter of what i do rather than where i went. despite the people you meet being a huge difference too, its lovely to see someone else experience something i long since buried. i wouldnt trade what i had, as the friends ive made and the things ive learned from what ended up happening shaped who i became to be, and regardless, im proud of myself for even being waitlisted! i love your videos you provided to freecodecamp! even though ive graduated i am constantly consuming new things to learn, i was so happy to see another one of your videos uploaded today for FCC, and forgot that i should sub to your personal channel as well. thank you! and heck. theres always grad school! but im taking a break from academics to focus on the community ive come to foster, teaching my friends STEM who never had the same access to opportunities as us is just as important! good luck out there on your next pursuits kylie! from one stranger to another.

[@lucy7574]

don’t feel too bad. a lot of these videos inspired me to come here and gave me a false illusion of what it’d be like. not everyone has a great time. college is definitely what you make of it. i often wish i went to state school. just writing this to hopefully make you feel better
