Finally, the first guy on YT that's not a straight A overachiever student at an elite T15 school. I quit school after struggling and finding out I had ADHD, I've been wanting to learn programming/CS topics, this video helped put things into perspective that I can still make it even if I'm not a top student at a top school. Thanks for the video!
yooo same, i quit school (altho just temporarily) due to adhd. my grades are hella mid but i got v interested in programming, so i took a udemy course and watched cs50 stuffs. im now doing a full stack development internship :D u can def make it!!
Man, I feel you. I'm in my third year, a transfer student from a community college, and now studying at a big boi school. I changed my major from Psychology to CompSci and oh man idk what I'm doing but I'm trying to figure it out. All while having ADHD too
I love how relatable your comment was “that your grades were average for CS” one of the reasons why I didn’t go the CS route was because I didn’t think I had good enough grades to get through it. When I think back at it, I should have done it anyways
Dear Jed, I'm a ComSci student but I don't really watch you because you're into Computer Science, but I watch you just because. I really enjoy your daily vlogs and videos, obviously its a plus when computer science is involved, just like when you made that messaging app that looks like discord. My point is that don't be too conscious of your viewers and just make videos and follow your heart!
The mediocre grades don't measure your wealth, your drive and determination and positive outlook measure your wealth. And in my opinion you are FILTHY RICH .... keep up excellent Vlog and stories; whether they be lifestyle, tech, or just babble - you got this!
I just started and I am a freshman, it makes me feel a lot better to know that someone else didn't have their resume ready. I started HTML, CSS, and JS on my own and am doing to website/resume thing now so I can practice web development all through out college along with other stuff that I learn so I can put all of my projects on there kind of like a show case.
Thanks for posting computer science! As part of your fellow programmer audience it’s really appreciated :). (PS I really enjoy your cinematic content just as much btw)
Ooof finally someone who never had prior experience in coding before college. I feel super overwhelmed given soo many ppl I know have had experience and all.
A whole semester 10 hours a week learning functions and for loops. Many college classes (not just cs) make things way more complicated than they need to be. In some cases, people get so wrapped up in the complication that they don't even understand the fundamentals.
I'm also a first-year student who took BS CS in college. In a week one of my friends drop out and I feel lonely in this course but, I will pursue this because I'm an aspiring Software Engineer. Hope to survive 🙏
I identified with the part of "not having enough experience in the field," but after you shared your internships it was like "well, it takes time, but keep looking for new opportunities." It was encouraging, thanks! Spanish! 😱 Great! A dejar comentarios en español 🎉🎉
Im out here freaking and learning about programing on my freshman year of highschool thinking that everyone was supposed to have some bg knowledge about coding and stuff. Thankyou i wont stress about it anymore, i will learn about it but not as stressfull anymore.
Love your content jedcal, keep it up. I appreciate your honesty in showing the grades you received, including explaining the courses that stood out to you during your attendance at BU. Edit: It for sure makes me more comfortable with my academic performance - how I'm not the only average guy out there.
I recently returned to school last fall after taking only one semester of school 2 years ago. I decided to get into compsci after avoiding it for a long time cus i thought it looked boring. I ended up liking it and according to my professor, I was his best student in his programming class. But then the second programming class I took with a different professor that is terrible at teaching, i ended up getting discouraged and dropped the class cus i was failing. My previous professor was pretty disappointed in me cus he's also the chairman of the department so he noticed I dropped the class. He was confused as to why I had dropped and I made some excuse about sleep, which is also true but not the full truth. Now I have to wait until next fall to retake it and I've been discouraged ever since. Ik I can learn c++ on my own, but I just can't get myself to do it. I was practicing like once a week doing some problems with the basic knowledge I have of the language. But hopefully I get the motivation to rlly get into it again so that I can easily ace the class next time i take it
I have a Master's in Computer Science with a 3.98/4.0 GPA. This video is 100% my experience. It's all about work effort, whether it's being a garbage man, or writing assembly code for manufacturing machines, it's all about the effort you put it. And nobody is perfect. I'm so happy I got an A- in that course, because it allowed me to relax and forget the struggle to keep a 4.0
@@hooliganlexx Make sure to use resources outside of your classes and books. For example for math there are tons of you tube videos that have good teachers who use really good examples and methods of teaching the concepts. As far as your computer at home, almost any level of machine should be fine, but if you're worried about it contact your advisor and ask for the technical specs you'll need for a computer, each college has those things defined, so they can point you in the right direction. Good luck! In a little while you'll be looking back on this comment!!!
Love the intro man, I love the lifestyle and coding videos but keep on doing what you do man, I want to eventually be able to do lifestyle similar to you. Keep up the great vids man
Fellow Guamanian here 🤙I'm a junior in high school rn so hearing u share ur experience coming fr Guam reassures me that I'll be fine going to college in the States!
You know I had always gotten good grades and so far I’m doing good but going into computer science as I use to be a business major, I’m already prepared to do my best but I don’t care if I get a b or c as long as I pass I’m okay with it. Something I learned is that it’s okay as long as you do your best, so far intro to programming had been fun and I’m enjoying it.
Thank you for sharing! I am also trying to decide on Boston U as my university and i am very interested in software development and your video really helped me gain some insight as to how it might be like, and what internships might be like!
Studies algorithms, data structures, api calls - internship is business intelligence writing sql and throwing it in to a dashboard. Haha exactly what is wrong with the job market these days. Fundamental disconnect between employers and academia.

@@priscila5370 hey can you tell which school you transferred to because I'm also transferring from a community college
@@seethetruth7427good luck man
Your neurodivergence likely helped you in learning real quickly. Very common with folks who have ADHD, Aspergers or similar conditions
This was the most relatable “My CS Degree in x minutes” I’ve seen. Thank you!
every other person that did this vid had all A's ahhah
Hahaha this is so true. Everyone else went to some insane university and got a 3.85 and above. This guy actually seems normal.
🥰🥰
forreal
So good
lmao the cinematic "serious" intro, absolute banger

Do you need stellar grades to compete in this major?
@@shawn651 not rlly cause 90% of the degree are like completely new concepts lol

I don’t know anything about software engineering but I still watched the whole video. I’m always down to any content!
Same! 🤣
me too 😂
real ones
Never seen his channel b4 (only saw him in one of Kelly’s vids) but still watched the whole thing (also not into software engineering lol)
Tf this gotta do with software engineering
Very transparent RUclipsr, always great content, I’m an accountant major and I love your videos
thanks 🙂
Accounting major? Omg I have to retake managerial accounting hahaha. Props to you

I do admire you, your lifestyle and your mindset. Takecare. Love from Vietnam
thanks man

A movie inspired you to major in CS. I'm gonna major in CS because of you. :)
Hopefully get through it.
Same
YOU GOT THIS
Seriously?
I'm also a first-year student who took BS CS in college. In a week one of my friends drop out and I feel lonely in this course but, I will pursue this because I'm an aspiring Software Engineer. Hope to survive 🙏
I'm confused. So you can be a software engineer too once you finished CS? I thought they were separate things, no?
@@urekmazino3697 software engineer is a profession, anyone can be one as long they have the skill:/
You're the first CS graduate on RUclips that doesn't make me feels unreal.

I didn't fully realized how I let my college days went by just like that until now. Dang all I did was sleep in the class.
it's not over yet ☝️
Its over 4 years ago when I graduated haha now I spent my days enjoying my work 💯

Ahhh,a well spent 9 minutes and 30 seconds. REally helpful and really motivative.
Too often do i get recommended videos from A+, 10 internship or so CS majors. It's nice to get a far more relatable content creator in my feed.
Play this video in 2X speed and his degree in 4 minutes !
I hate these jokes XD
that intro was so awesome! the acting and narration was immaculate

@Hadrian Diem rlly good advice
What a chill and easy-going person. Presents things as they are...I love your mindset, mate. Keep it up!
As a freshman majoring in cs at bu, this is a really informative video
Going into cs next year as a freshman at uni, this helped so thank you
awesome
where are you planning to study?
@@duh4924 I'm in Canada so University of Toronto and more
@@kmadeit5480 oh great! i am also planning to study as an international student in Canada and i am also considering University of Toronto.
@@duh4924 Nice! in that case, since you might know the other uni's, Ryerson, McMaster, Queens, and Western are my other choices

All I got from this video was B+ B+ B+ B+ B+ B+ ..lol
As a liberal arts major in undergrad and current masters student, I find computer science very intriguing. Hats off to you and all comsci majors.
By far the most interesting set of CS classes from the vids of this kind that I've watched.
This is kinda making me start doing my side projects ✌️✨
"I dont regret any of the decisions I made" ... *me thinking about my marketing major & regretting everything*
You scored 3.21 out of 4.0 and that's above average.
You always get cool classes while I'm here getting physics and chemistry on the first year of computer engineering lol.
Computer engineering is different from computer science.
I'm an architecture grad and I think that CS is the future so I'm here considering taking other path 😂 Thanks for these info re: CS Curriculum.
Omg! I’m in the middle of my architecture degree but I’m burned out lol & am thinking of switching to cs
Love the intro man, I love the lifestyle and coding videos but keep on doing what you do man, I want to eventually be able to do lifestyle similar to you. Keep up the great vids man
thanks bernie!
Thank you so much, I am taking very similar classes and it’s nice to see your performance in them
you got this
"I'm Filipino." Subscribed lol. Love from the 🇵🇭

Do you know the one at the beginning with opera?
Jed your cinematic intro,,,,, uuuhh!!!
absolutely fire
LOL. Guam! I was born there and went to school at Inarajan and GCC. I graduated in California though. Also did CS at UC Santa Cruz.
Same here, I wish I paid more attention to Data Structures and Algorithms
yupp
I was about to skip the grammarly sponsor part, but I was like, "nahhhh, gotta help out the homie Jed" lol
hahah you the man
I use Grammarly everyday, it's awesome.
meanwhile I was depressed and slept through med school
This is actually usefull for me
First semester of college is really confusing
Thanks jed
definitely! u got this
Fellow Guamanian here 🤙I'm a junior in high school rn so hearing u share ur experience coming fr Guam reassures me that I'll be fine going to college in the States!
ur legit the coolest person on youtube
no u r
Well done! Boston University, MSc CS, class of ‘93
Dope, got into Computer engineering in UBC and plan to minor in CS, that was really helpful
Always called it 's' 'q' 'l' but 'sequel' sounds a lot cooler
That beginning was a cinematic masterpiece
This was an amazing video Jedcal. Thank you for your honesty and authenticity
Damn I miss Devon Crawford !!!!
Not a CS student or interested in CS/engineering at all but I still love watching all of your videos!!!!
I was so surprised to see Guam in this video. I am also applying to a university for Computer Science coming from Guam so hopefully I get in!
That's crazy, graduating in CS to work with front-end? wow, what an overkill
Feels like a movie! 100000/10
The first 20 sec I thought it was an ad and I was reading through the comments
Barely understood the subject of this video but will still watch it anyway!!
ur amazing
I don’t know English, because I’m from Russia, but I guess I'm in love with you.

Thanks from India
Glad I watched this. Makes me feel a bit less uneasy.
