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
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!
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)
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 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
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 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 🎉🎉
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
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!!!
@@jedcal i’m gonna keep commenting this in every clogs til u make one vlog focusing on it haha. but for real tho. i recently dove into photography (mainly film) but some digital and love seeing creatives making videos of this. thanks
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!
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.
When you talk/speak try to do so more clearly it sounds as If you are swallowing your words or your tongue is twisted now I have to use the "CC Closed Captioning" feature for this video.
I knew I remembered you from somewhere (workmarket) happy to see that you are doing so well (UA-cam and engineering career), keep up the good work man!
Whattt no Calculus or Discrete Mathematics courses. Here I am a sophomore in College taking Calculus 3 and Discrete Math for a Computer Science Degree XD. Don't regret taking them though, I do really love math.
Im majoring in finance but I've been stressing so much because although I am good at finances I love technology and computers and I feel like making the switch to C.S... But I don't know im scared about grades hahaha... I've always seen C.S majors as absolute Geniuses and while im not necessarily dumb I don't see myself as a genius...
at BU, compsci and math are part of the same "division" so since I'm doing CS i dont need to take any math classes. probably because a lot of our cs classes had math principles

@@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

Very transparent UA-camr, 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

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 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 a Geology graduate. In another life & with another high skill I would’ve loved to be a computer science graduate. You guys are genius. ✊👍
meanwhile I was depressed and slept through med school

Ahhh,a well spent 9 minutes and 30 seconds. REally helpful and really motivative.
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
that intro was so awesome! the acting and narration was immaculate
For anyone wondering, background music: sunset lover-petit biscuit
Do you know the one at the beginning with opera?
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.
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 🎉🎉
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.
As a freshman majoring in cs at bu, this is a really informative video
This is kinda making me start doing my side projects ✌️✨
Always called it 's' 'q' 'l' but 'sequel' sounds a lot cooler
You scored 3.21 out of 4.0 and that's above average.
By far the most interesting set of CS classes from the vids of this kind that I've watched.
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.
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!
ur legit the coolest person on youtube
no u r
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

@Hadrian Diem rlly good advice
Same here, I wish I paid more attention to Data Structures and Algorithms
yupp
This is actually usefull for me
First semester of college is really confusing
Thanks jed
definitely! u got this
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 🇵🇭
Jed your cinematic intro,,,,, uuuhh!!!
absolutely fire
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.
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.

Any advice? I am going to start soon and worried I may not have the right computer at home to work efficiently and math is something I struggle with.

The first 20 sec I thought it was an ad and I was reading through the comments
Dope, got into Computer engineering in UBC and plan to minor in CS, that was really helpful
Damn I miss Devon Crawford !!!!
Just started my first semester (uni) I have one intro comp class and these assignments are already kicking my ass 😩
i feel that
This was an amazing video Jedcal. Thank you for your honesty and authenticity
prayers that you stay on the lifestyle side of yt
i will definitely stay there
Everything is better in Boston
that intro be so relatable
A long journey ahead as an engineer. Enjoy the ride & Congrats
What is that emoji
Goodluck Kababayan!!
Not a CS student or interested in CS/engineering at all but I still love watching all of your videos!!!!
Barely understood the subject of this video but will still watch it anyway!!
ur amazing
Aot soundtrack played just about when I was going to leave LOL. Good video.
one of my favorite videos on the channel!
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!
So waiting for this video 🤙🏻Thank you for all the explanations 😎
of course
@@jedcal Thank you jedcal im also doing major in Software development your videos always motivates me to study more ❤️
I don’t know English, because I’m from Russia, but I guess I'm in love with you.
Thanks for raching out!
That intro lol, loved it!
😆
It useful
Thanks from India
starting part is sick

Glad I watched this. Makes me feel a bit less uneasy.
Would love to see a vlog of your photography upto editing photos.

This is my time watching any of your videos and you have a really nice smile :)
thanks 🙂welcome to the channel
The only reason I with his vedios...(the vedio quality💥💥)

Hoping to be noticed.. I'm a big fan from the PH
Thank you for this video!!! Current BU cs student and this gives me a lot of hope
I also think about getting a job in other countries and I don't know why you are inspiring me quite alot😂😂
Have a good day Jadcal

How are you doing in your classes now ?
I'm majoring in finance but kinda want to switch over to C.S. how have classes been ?

HAHAH the start is amazing
Always enjoy your video, even though I don't know anything about computer science 👌🏼
Pretty inspired! Freshman study cs in taiwan
Dude I am a CS major with a full time job….. I legit have 0 social life because of this. I absolutely love it tho. Math is aight
sick intro 👌
Can i see your personal website that you made in your junior year? I'm interested on what you made.
I knew I remembered you from somewhere (workmarket) happy to see that you are doing so well (UA-cam and engineering career), keep up the good work man!
Hey thanks Xifeng! Good to hear from you!
Discord gang thread!!
Bro, go to photography business. You seem to rock on it.
Got to rewatch

Thanks for the advice man rlly helpful
100k soon!
Cool video. You've got killer hair, btw.
Discord gang!
Discord gangggggggggggg wyaaaa?
you did a lot outside of your college experience.
Next video: how I graduated in CS without taking a single CS class
Easy he stole someone's degree
Started following you for the CS videos, so rly enjoyed this one!

Where are all the math classes you have to take for CS like linear algebra and calc, etc?
at BU, compsci and math are part of the same "division" so since I'm doing CS i dont need to take any math classes. probably because a lot of our cs classes had math principles
@@jedcal that’s crazy, pretty cool actually more room for CS classes
