HARVARD Freshman Move-In VLOG 2021 | Maya Lauren

Oh my goodness, hey guys! a couple days ago I made the big move from Cali to Harvard University, which was a once in a lifetime experience. I am excited to document my journey to look back on the past and hopefully serve as an outlet for you all. I plan to upload constantly so please let me know what you would like to see from me, and I will make that happen.

[@alvinmccarthy2471]

I’m sorry you live in that shoe box, but I’m sure things will be better after freshman year. Good luck on your collegiate journey 🙌🏽

[@TashaMariya]

I would honestly move all the beds into the main living area to have more room and then the desks into the smaller rooms, don’t know if this is allowed or not!

[@tegankeegan3733]

Yeh id have done the same, i seen it on someone elses video a few years ago, itd make sense

[@bridgetbroeker-simons5598]

id have everything in the big room and make the "bedroom" a closet lol

[@lynnewna]

This room is so small, like what? They can’t expect two people living in that space literally, ugh. Isn't University in the US also super expensive?

[@mayalauren8122]

it’s not right 😭

[@Computra]

I guess you both don't understand how expensive real estate is in Boston! Maybe when you guys grow up a bit you will understand a thing or two.

[@struergymnasium]

​@@Computrathey expect you to pay a very high price to share a dorm room, because that's the "Harvard experience". I am a graduate student at Harvard.

[@unndunn1]

Some of these dorms were built in the 1700’s. That’s why they have fireplaces and small rooms.

[@sophieirwin3497]

Oooph, I read you comment before seeing the room and was like ‘surely it isn’t that bad’. Then I saw it 😳😮. At least have bunk beds to try create some floor space! I’ve had single rooms at university bigger than that! Though I went to university in Liverpool, UK, which is relatively affordable on the housing front.

[@azrakngll]

I discovered your KZbin channel nowadays.And I love it! You are so cute and you have positive energy that make my day happy

[@janaschraders316]

I feel like your bedroom was designed to be a single and they needed more beds so they just made it a double...

[@mayalauren8122]

I 100% agree...

[@siv_a27]

OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR U CONGRATULATIONS HOPE U DOING UR BEST 🥰💜

[@qym2363]

Hi

[@ainsleygrace557]

would have been better if you moved the beds into the common room! you are always allowed to switch around the furniture :) like my sophomore year of college, i bought out a dorm meant for 2, so it still had 2 twin beds in it. i put them together and turned it into a king (amazon has bed converter kits). but anyway, just know for future reference to utilize your space as best you can!

[@miausab]

the dorm is way too small for two ppl 😀

[@mayalauren8122]

agreed 😭

[@ceciliamichieka7069]

you are literally so sweet.

[@lexilove9]

Ain’t no way they put two of y’all in a single on toddler beds

[@mayalauren8122]

ain’t no way 😖

[@Xxlils_1314xX]

Omg keep going! Btw love your desk set up !!!

[@maryelizabethschultz1052]

I love how the flight attendant waved! So nice! At my airport she would probably scream at me to not film her lol

[@LuvBubbles]

Harvard is one of the hardest collages to get into. Good job! 👍😄

[@JellyEditz761]

I'm glad you got to Harvard You better go girl

[@Katiescones103]

I think the people designing the layout oh so many years ago got confused and instead of a double college dorm they made a single child closet. Yeah you deserve better smh 😌✋

[@Dustyspeccs]

I like your room! Maybe a little small for two people, but it’ll be manageable I think! I bet you’re going to have a great time!

[@sadmem1650]

omg finally a move in video with a dorm my first year size 😭 I was in a suite with five other people and the other two doubles were pretty sizeable and me and my roommate were shoved into a room that used to be a single lmao

[@sabrina-kk1mf]

I just toured Harvard yesterday, you were one of the lucky underclassmen to get the shaking dorm, I believe; because it is so close to the underground railway, when the train passes, the building shakes. Fun fact: the dining hall looks just like the hogwarts one because they were modeled after the same building in the UK. It is an attachment of the memorial building which was built to honor all the students who died in the Civil War Also, did you cross the Haunted Gate (Johnston Gate); the myth is that you can only cross it twice, on your first day at Harvard, and when you graduate, or else you'll fail all of your exams. Last thing lol: There's this really good cafe called JP Licks that served 100/100 London Fog tea

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

I lived in an apartment (efficiency) near a rail line. The building shook. I get this.

[@emilygonzalez193]

the intro song i had a giggle

[@abbywalters7236]

YOY PAY THAT MUCH TO LIVE THERE AND ITS THAT TINY

[@harrisonlapahie3483]

Your bedroom of your dorm room is abnormal and extremely too small ! And this is what they give you at Harvard? You give the impression that the fan will constantly blow in your face when you are sitting at your desk and studying. I'm not sure, but I think your dorm room is not worth living at. Try finding a better place to live while going to Harvard. You also need to make a complaint to Harvard concerning your dorm room. You are extremely beautiful ! God bless you on your university experience at Harvard! Give your very best there! Make good friends there, and don't lose them!

[@ashlee9599]

It's my first time to know you and watch your video, I'm so attracted by your confidence and you are so cuuuuute!!!

[@luhbaddie1309]

nO oNE INfoRm mE I juSt WORk HeRE lol 😂

[@aliciapereira9557]

Your hair is amazing 😍😍

[@septemily]

I feel like if they let you loft or bunk the beds, there would be soo much more walking room.

[@mayalauren8122]

they actually are normally bunked, but neither of us wanted to be the top bunk 😭

[@septemily]

@@mayalauren8122 fair enough. Have you guys thought about just lifting them enough to fit your dressers under the bed? Not sure if that’s even possible but it was just a thought 😊

[@419waywardkid5]

You having to live in a shoebox aside, I’m still caught up on the “I just work here” 💀 My good sis was going through it lmao

[@BaileeEller]

Girl, did the beds come with the dorm? And did you get to know about your dorm mate cause like these are questions I have before I go to college

[@mayalauren8122]

the beds came and we got an email about who our roommates were just before moving in!

[@iibellesxnzy5527]

No way two grown women are gonna share a room made for a 12 year old...

I have a question I hope you can answer do they allow bunkbeds since the room is really small

शरीर को पुष्ट रखने के लिए जैसे संतुलित आहार की आवश्यकता होती है, वैसे ही मस्तिष्क के विकास के लिए अच्छे साहित्य का अध्ययन आवश्यक है। जितना ही हम अध्ययन करते हैं, उतना ही हमें अपने अज्ञान का आभास होता जाता है और अतीत में अनेक तथ्यों से अनभिज्ञ बने रहने का बोध होता है। इसलिए बेकन का सुझाव है - अध्ययन खंडन और असत्य सिद्ध करने के लिए न करो, न विश्वास करके मान लेने के लिए करो, बल्कि मनन और परिशीलन के लिए करो। सिसरो का मत है कि प्रकृति की अपेक्षा अध्ययन से मनुष्य अधिक श्रेष्ठ बने हैं। डॉ जानसन का भी कहना है - दूसरी वस्तुएं बल से छीनी जा सकती हैं अथवा धन से खरीदी जा सकती हैं, किंतु ज्ञान के कपाट केवल अध्ययन से ही खुलते हैं। अध्ययन से कुचिंताएं मिट जाती हैं। संशयरूपी पिशाच भाग जाते हैं।मन में सद्भावन जाग्रत होकर परमशांति प्राप्त होती है। अध्ययन से मनुष्य का मस्तिष्क परिष्कृत और हृदय सुसंस्कृत होता है। अध्ययन भय की औषध है।यह विवेक की जननी है।जो सभी प्रकार के कर्तव्यों में हमारा पथ - प्रदर्शन करता है।नीर - क्षीर की बुद्धि को जाग्रत करता है।जीवन में सौंदर्य बिखरेता है और पराक्रमी बनाता है। अध्ययन अलौकिक आनंद का स्त्रोत है, जिसका वर्णन वाणी नहीं कर सकती।🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

What are you studying?

[@enricaa.]

I am Italian but I really like English so I would like to do this university. I have some questions: what is this "test" you have to do to enter? Once you enter, do you sleep there?

[@sophietucker6249]

okay so when you apply for college you have to write like an essay on a topic they give you or something along those lines and as for the second question it depends if you live in the town where your school is you can stay at your house but if not they have freshman(1st year) stay in the dorms and every year after that can either get an apartment or stay in dorms

[@sophietucker6249]

they also look over your past grades from highschool or i believe you guys call it secondary you also can get recommendations from past teachers and employers

@@sophietucker6249 hi I just have a question what about SAT does is it really important to get good grades for universities in us

[@sophietucker6249]

@@danhaltamimi7315 unfortunately yes but as of right now due to covid they have stopped taking scores and putting it towards your admission decision but that might be changed permanently! let me know if you have any more questions

[@sophietucker6249]

@@danhaltamimi7315 also the SAT and the ACT are tests you have to take and the score you get can be sent to colleges and yes grades are important but for me i did really bad my freshman year and early sophomore year due to covid and i just didn’t care so really take your time and don’t let your grades define you but definitely try and pay attention cause your grades and test scores can get you good grants and scholarships

Democracy stands much superior to any other form of government in promoting dignity and freedom of the individual. Every individual wants to receive respect from fellow beings. Often conflicts arise among individuals because with due respect. The passion for respect and freedom are the basis of democracy. Democracies throughout the world have recognised this, at least in principle. This has been achieved in various degrees in various democracies. For societies which have been built for long on the basis of subordination and domination,it not a simple matter to recognize that all individuals are equal. 👍👍👍👍👍
