I don’t know what drew me to this I just wanted to see the college life again ! And just seeing how motivated you are and smart and athletic really is fun just seeing what it’s like now days in college
@BW oh yeah for sure. I certainly already have. I’m only in high school, so what I can do is limited but I work hard at swimming and took 2 AP computer science classes so far
This is way much better than I was with university. I think you ticked all the boxes and requirement. Pretty sure you can accomplish all the things want young man! BY the way, the campus look very beautiful with the greenery and architecture
Hey Marcos, great video! I’m transferring to UCB this fall and I heard that they are fully opening. I was wondering if it’s safe to be walking from the nearby in-campus dorms at 5am- 6am to the RSF. I just heard rummers that it is “unsafe” at Berkeley.
Hey Kent, thanks so much! Hmm I think for the most part it should be safe, I walked at 5.30ish to rsf every other day (from Blackwell) and never saw or have had anything happen to me. That being said, if you're in unit 1 or 2, closer to people's park where arguably most of the crime happens, then you may need to take more precaution. If you can i recommend either going with a friend or getting a cheap bike / scooter. Otherwise, I'd say you should be fine
6:52 I like he is watching about blockchain and crypto stuff P.S. This video is exactly how I planned my college days to be. My best wishes to you mate! Keep grinding🙌🏻
Wow it takes so much time to take your videos and edit them. On top of that you have seim practices 2x a day, workout, school, and homework. Kudos and keep up the good work.
Did you swim in hs and if you did what was your times? They must’ve been insane to get into a D1 college, also what are your opinions on roids and how they affect your body when swimming? I heard they help in every aspect and was wondering whether or not they’re necessary to be an Olympic swimmer. Ps sorry for the long message and so many questions!
No need to apologize! I did swim in high school, I think my best times were 23.3 LCM 50 free, 51.5 LCM 100 free and 29 something 50 LCM breast. I don't think they were too insane, especially compared to other extremely fast D1 swimmers! I personally strongly advise against using any PED (performance enhancing drugs such as roids) and while there may have been Olympic swimmers in the past that have taken, most professional swimmers at Olympic levels are completely clean and I think that's the way to go!
@@marcosricopeng sheeesh I’m not really a freestyle swimmer but that breaststroke time is really good, was your gpa a very big part of you getting accepted? Or was it mainly your hs times?
@@therealalexelias I didn't really have a GPA system but when I applied I had around a 3.9 unweighted. I don't think it mattered too too much in the decision but it was for sure considered - just cause Berkeley is a pretty hard school overall haha
Yeah I mean any major + college athletics is pretty intense just cause practice occupies so much of ones day in terms of time and energy. But you're right, cs in particular is quite difficult just cause of it's rigorous nature
Great video!!! My dream college is Berkley and watching your videos really help me get an understanding of where I need to be. Quick question, at about 3:36 what to do list/task manager are you using? I am super disorganized and would help a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and keep up the good work! That app is microsofts to-do app on desktop but recently i've switched to notion and i've been loving it!
Bro thats crazy I was on ig and saw you getting interviewed somewhere and then I look for a day in life of a swimmer n see you lol. Good shit out there.
How do you manage all of this while sleeping so little? If I don’t have 8 hours of sleep I can’t function properly..if you sleep 5-6 hours a night does your naps help you achieve the 8 hour mark ?
Holy shit I’m in high school and I do smth very similar to you. Senior year, 5am swim practice, then I go to high school, do my classes (I’m also doing comp sci haha). Last period is a study hall, where I would hit the school’s gym, then I’d do club activities after (robotics, comp sci, etc.). After that I’d get home and do hw. I honestly don’t know how I do it.
Well I'm still in high school and I'm preparing for my future because I want to be a pro boxer during my college days and I also want to study I mean I don't want to regret anything in my life and if I don't succeed in my journey of being a boxer then thats it, at least I tried Thanks for this video It encouraged me!
Such a nice video! Thanks for sharing that with us! I was wondering what watch do you use to get all those stats? It's really impressing to see you're stats at the end of the day!
Thank you for watching!! And the watch is one from Polar - I forgot which model. Since then I've changed to the Galaxy watch 4 which is giving me the same (and more!) stats about my day too! (Not sponsored)
Hey bro what age did you start swimming at? I've been swimming for a little under a year competitively at 14. My 50 free is 28.6 seconds, which usually my reference point for my progress. How hard is it to get on a college team for someone with a slightly late start like me?
Haha awesome!! Honestly any laptop is fine (windows / Mac) i think any Mac book pro should be more than enough and for windows, go for at least 8gb ram and Intel core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5
that’s just amazing! but how do you keep your energy through the day? i feel like i’d be so drained for some reason it is a lot of moving through the day
They normally look at times - so how fast the swimmer is. But they also greatly take into consideration his potential to improve based off of past improvements and if he fits with the team dynamic!
Cal is short for California which normally refers to UC Berkeley - they're just two names for the same school. Cal is normally used for athletics whereas Berkeley is used for academics
5000kcal... omg!! me on most workout can reach only 1500kcal... you are very active.. nice!! this indirectly inspire me and it become my goal from today...
I'm glad the video motivates you! Not sure if 5000kcal should be a goal (idk what your stats are but im a pretty big guy so naturally I will burn more calories haha) but rather to create a good workout habit!
Instantly know by the mask this was during Corona. As a backstroker i always hated swimming at Spieker and pools like it. Nor Cal isn't so Cal but even so cal should have indoor pools. Times are affected by wind and sun, so should keep everything consistent anyway.
wow, an electrical engineering and a swimmer, what a good example of great life you have
I don’t know what drew me to this I just wanted to see the college life again ! And just seeing how motivated you are and smart and athletic really is fun just seeing what it’s like now days in college
Haha thank you!!
Fantastic schedule. Lots of health , happiness , success & prosperity for you.
God, his videos are just.... sooo good! I've been searching for this for months!

We need more day in the life of cs major student athlete vids
Yeah? I'll try and make more! Thanks for the feedback!
@@marcosricopeng Is cs a difficult major to choose for a student athlete, cuz one has to concentrate in both studies and sport

great video i am a swimmer in middle school and I want to do this when i grow up
Finally a good day in my life
Thanks so much!

Isn’t it kinda unsafe and illegal to ride a bike without a helmet?
Good thing you got me a helmet!
Very unsafe!
Sad
Just committed to Cal!! See ya there
Awesome congratulations!! See you around!
Omg I’ve been looking for college swimmers who major in comp Sci…also what laptops would you suggest for the major! Thx
Haha awesome!! Honestly any laptop is fine (windows / Mac) i think any Mac book pro should be more than enough and for windows, go for at least 8gb ram and Intel core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5

bruh how can you manage your time like that 😭that must been so hard
Just comes with a bit of practice!

it is a lot of moving through the day
Lots of naps hahah
We HRT Marcos's vlogs

Broo tell me about it (writing this right now before heading to morning practice 🤦♂️)
@@marcosricopeng hahah we are heading to a tournament which is like 10 hours away lmao
Lollll good luck!!
What a fun video!
Thank you!!!
How can you function with that small amount of sleep😵
What do they look for in a swimmer to get in the team?
They normally look at times - so how fast the swimmer is. But they also greatly take into consideration his potential to improve based off of past improvements and if he fits with the team dynamic!
@@marcosricopeng which college you are studying
Which library opened up? And how do we book appointments?
Moffitt. It was released in one of the emails but i think it's on the berkeley website
New subscriber here from Philippines!😊
Thank you that's so cool!
what is cal? i thought you were in berkley (european here sorry if it's a trivial question)
Cal is short for California which normally refers to UC Berkeley - they're just two names for the same school. Cal is normally used for athletics whereas Berkeley is used for academics
Ayyyy computer science, that’s a hard class as far as I’ve heard
It's aight 😂
Yoo Laptop working? Or new one 👀
Got it fixed!
Dream routine. You only need to sleep more, it could increase your performance.
editing on point
Thanks!!!
what laptop do you use?
Not me probably going to be a student athlete and wanting this major 😵💫
You've got this!
Also how many different types of pasta do you have in your kitchen?😂
Shhhhh they're no supposed to know that haha
What kind of watch do you have my man
It's the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 classic!
When you take a nap do you actually sleep?
Haha yeah
I made the cut lessssgooo
Let's gooo Matty J
bro just a question whats the model of your watch
Hmm tbh I don´t remember I´ve changed my watch since that vid, sorry! I know it was some polar watch
And You have time for make a vídeo for us. That's incredible.
And you have the time to watch my videos, thank you ♥️
Do you have to shave completely so your able to swim faster or is that untrue
Normally it's more psychological as hair resistance in the water is practically negligible jaja but it is true!
5000kcal... omg!! me on most workout can reach only 1500kcal... you are very active.. nice!! this indirectly inspire me and it become my goal from today...

what are the chances, my mum swam at cal
Its weird bcuz cal is 2 blocks from my highschool(berkeley high) so ik where u r and where those buildings r. Not to sound weird... lol

What school are you in right now?
UC Berkeley!
Where is the actual student-teacher class?
Not sure what you mean
Instantly know by the mask this was during Corona. As a backstroker i always hated swimming at Spieker and pools like it. Nor Cal isn't so Cal but even so cal should have indoor pools. Times are affected by wind and sun, so should keep everything consistent anyway.
