 Jumping off the porch like mom's not home Obviously there's this kind of the stigma of Yale being like an Ivy League school and the academics being so intense and everything that like we're getting weighed down by a lot of work and that's like all we're doing but like what do you guys think of like the workload of classes at Yale and how does it compare to like high school or what you've experienced before? Um for me personally the workload is way more manageable than I anticipated it being um high school was a very busy time I it's it's very interesting coming from high school to here because in high school I was very type A like planned out every single minute whereas here I feel like there's more time to do other things like that aren't necessarily academically related and maybe that's my own personal take but way more free time than I expected yeah that's true that is true I'm an on-stim major but yeah so like Tully was saying I mean there's definitely work um but a lot more time to do the work so time management while important in high school way more important in college yeah and way different because it's a lot more unstructured time um and a lot more like optional activities so yeah yeah like yeah for example you'll have like let's say a class has like two midterms and then one final or like one final paper like you don't really have a lot of in between assignments unless like it's p sets I guess weekly p sets yeah that'll do it but the nightly homework's like 10 minutes so yeah there's unlike high school high school it was a lot more nightly homework whereas here like you have at least like a week to like get an assignment done so as long as you're able to be on top of it not as big of a problem yeah I don't know I was surprised you know everyone warns you they're like oh once you get to college like yeah you're only gonna have two grades but actually you know with STEM definitely I've got a p set every week a p sets problem set um which is just like you you probably have problem sets in high school they're like they're like homework but longer yeah they're like longer um and then my classes have like homework to be done before each class uh which I was definitely surprised by I was just expecting midterms um but the homework before class is super easy and doesn't take long and it's really just more so that you know what's gonna happen during class than like grading your understanding yeah yeah like I think for most STEM classes p sets are what like 30 35 percent of your grade I'd say at least that's that's what it's for yeah it's really depending on the math yeah definitely for math it's lower yeah I think math is like math your final is like 55 percent your grade yeah um just study yeah yeah study study and know your stuff all you guys obviously know that I am in the best college Timothy do I college right and uh uh yeah TD I don't know TD gets some hate maybe a little some TD is objectively the worst residential college I don't know what they're talking about it used to be okay sort of because was your head of college or Dean that had Sasha pup who is absolutely the cutest dog I've ever seen in my whole entire life we'll throw up a picture early oh yeah um but she's gone now and so that just knocked TD way down to the bottom yeah sorry we have the objectively best community on campus I mean there's Silliman so I mean like all right so do you guys want to share a little bit about your residential colleges um I'm in Branford College it's one of the oldest colleges but objectively one of the most beautiful we have Harkness Tower which it's it's really pretty it can get loud when you're trying to study but besides that love Branford and I'm in Berkeley College um the most crowded dining hall the most centrally located of the colleges it's the only college that is split up into two different courtyards um because Sterling and cross campus are right in the middle um so there's a tunnel that goes under cross campus actually and under all the grass and connects the two courts which is kind of cool um but yeah so their dining hall just got redone and so it was always always always packed which kind of stuff yeah um and Julia and I are some of the lucky few they got to pick our residential colleges yep both Megan and my brother um how do you word this uh both Megan and I's brothers so Julia and I both have brothers that go here yeah and so you can choose if you want to be in the same residential college as your sibling anyone but the same residential colleges your sibling or just keep it random and we both chose to be in the same college as our brothers yeah so yeah even though neither of them will be on campus next year right yeah and my brother currently isn't even at Yale this year because he's studying abroad so but good stuff yeah it'll be so interesting having him back but I hear he's fluent now though yeah more or less I mean yeah yeah that's my papers all right um so obviously Yale's are pretty involved around campus we try to do a lot of different extracurriculars um try to get involved in stuff that we're really passionate about and stuff that we love so do you guys want to share like what your extracurriculars have been this year so far yeah so um I did dance in high school and it's really cool because there's a lot of opportunities at Yale to do dance um so I'm involved in two different dance companies one's like a modern contemporary dance company and the other one's ballet okay um I joined a sorority at the beginning of this year rush process was uh not as bad as I expected which was nice um and then we're also all in Air Force ROTC so Air Force go Air Force Air Power Air superiority this is great so sorry Josh so in addition to ROTC I am on the climbing team which mostly does indoor climbing wait actually all indoor officially it's all indoor climbing illegal for us to do outdoor climbing because that's not what the waivers are for um yikes so the Yale climbing team doesn't do anything outside but the Yale outdoors club they they do lots of climbing so you climb I won the the Yale climbing team uh Camp Kessum of course all for the kids yeah we'll link both of our pages down below you can still donate still donate oh and I do math counts uh which some of you might have done in middle school I don't know did you guys do middle school you like tutor tutor middle schoolers how to how to do math which is cool Berkeley Film Society I am the co interim vice president of the Berkeley Film Society a very prestigious title um that my streaming and I share as two of the three members of the Berkeley Film Society it's an exclusive club very exclusive club um and we host movies every month in Berkeley and our next one is on Friday um and also as one of the I think three people in ROTC with my pilot's license I was uh selected to um create and teach a flight simulator program uh which includes just your basic I don't know ground knowledge stuff like that and then um instruction on the simulator and that's once every other week and it's a good time kind of pretty good turnout yeah all right so obviously we're all also as we mentioned involved in ROTC Air Force ROTC it's a big part of our uh big part of our life here at Yale um do you guys want to share like what cut specifically like drew you to Air Force ROTC at Yale so I grew up in an Air Force family um my dad he actually just retired I guess last spring so it's been a year but um it's it's been a familiar route or it was a familiar route um wasn't entirely sure if it was something that I wanted to pursue but figured might as well apply for the program um see what it's all about my brother's in the Air Force ROTC program at Yale and was able to speak to it and it sounded like a fun time yeah so it was like might as well try it out and so far it's been one of the most positive experiences at Yale it's been a lot of fun I'm not from a military family um my uh my stepdad was enlisted for I don't know four years in the Navy right out of high school but other than that um no real military roots but I've always wanted to be in the military so I was in like fourth grade um and as I mentioned before I sort of decided between what branch academy or ROTC uh you know I think that the normal decision someone that wants to go to the military thinks it out um and honestly I just couldn't say no to the amazing cadre at Yale Air Force ROTC they're very convincing and absolutely the best people um plus just the culture seemed really fun and um like I would really learn a lot and grow a lot from the program yeah it's pretty unique to have like Air Force ROTC at like a place like Yale like it's it's just an experience you can't get anywhere else yeah yeah definitely second family oh yeah wingman wingman wingman ship yeah we spent a lot of early mornings what like Tuesday Thursday mornings we got to wake up we're all to bed at what like 5 30 5 30 yeah 5 30 yeah PT starts at 6 um I'd be there 10 minutes early yeah course but it's a great bonding experience um no one no one I would rather spend the early hours of the morning with yeah except maybe my pillow add the little I'm gonna add a little wink of that no it's a fun time though yeah like definitely a group of people you spend a lot of time with you get to know really well we all went on foot together too yeah a lot of you a lot of the pre-frost I've been asking about like orientation trips and if you're watching this do foot definitely rock it was a great time you will bond like nowhere else eat together sleep together it's nice with the ROTC because at least for airports at least at least for Air Force ROTC um all the first-year cadets do foot together in the Air Force ROTC program so we came in T.L. very very close it was nice because the first week and a half or so it's very confusing so it was nice to have people to go back to and refer to and the foot leaders were always there for us shout out to Matthew and Mary we should do I really want to do a video with them that'd be so fun before married good luck
