I wanted to be with you
He says that to everyone...
I can still say
Highly requested vlog number 2
My Harvard Graduation Day Vlog
I have made this vlog with short clips of different times of graduation day
Hello.
Hello...
This is my friend's mother Fernanda, who is taking me from Wayland to Harvard Square by driving
Traffic jams are often seen in big cities of the USA like Dhaka city
That's why I thought to record it
Our graduation ceremony will be virtual and Harvard has not arranged anything for us
That's why we're holding a ceremony like our own at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Park next to Harvard
For that, I have to buy spoons-cut spoons
If you have seen my Harvard campus tour you will recognize that it is the smith campus center where I am taking little rest
Those who are vaccinated among our friends have come to John F. Kennedy Memorial Park
We have rented a projector so that everyone can watch the Virtual Graduation Ceremony together
John F. Kennedy Memorial Park is located right next to Harvard Kennedy School
And it's pretty much a beautiful public park where events can often be organized
It is a tradition to open a bottle of champagne for any celebration in the USA
It's fun to watch
Friends Talking
They are making mimosa drink by mixing orange juice and champagne
I do not drink alcohol. So, when they finish making their drink, I will keep the orange juice for myself
The good thing about Harvard is respect for other religions
I never had the pressure to drink alcohol from my friends in my four years here
On the contrary, I always got support from my friends when I went to pray or when I was fasting
I got sick once in the month of Ramadan
Then my friends often used to make dinner for me so that I could break my fast with that during Iftar
I used to face the pressure of smoking in Bangladesh from many circles
But I never faced that social pressure at Harvard
We bought a lot of fruits and snacks for breakfast
Sal Khan is receiving an honorary degree from Harvard on the occasion of our graduation day
Harvard's alumni
Of Bangladeshi origin
And the founder of Khan Academy
Khan Academy provides study resources to millions of students for free
And I can't say by counting how much I've learned from Khan Academy
Because of Pandemic, Harvard didn't even give us the electric outlet to install the projector
That's why we got electricity from a nearby apartment with a long wire
I really like this thing at Harvard
Many people from many countries, many cultures, many people of different religions can get along well together
Happy birthday to Emily
Happy Birthday to you
Today was a friend's birthday
After finishing breakfast, and watching few graduation day speeches the photo session will begin
This is behind the scenes of the photo session
Many will post many celebration posts on social media on the occasion of graduation
So, it's obvious to take good pictures for that
If you have watched my day in the life video,
You will recognize that this is my friend Robert
And this is my friend Linda
This is my friend Ralph. An extraordinarily talented boy
Going to do a fully funded Masters at Cambridge
He came from Syria. Trump gave travel bans to many Muslim countries
That is why he has not been able to return to Syria to visit his family for
the past four or five years since he came to Harvard from Syria
He helped to organize the whole event
So, he is giving a speech
Ralph's Speech
An hour break after the University Ceremony, there is our House Ceremony
where the name of our Individual Graduates will be announced
This is a Greek food store in Saloniki, where those who have not had breakfast are having lunch
All students of Elliott House of Harvard Class of 2021, teachers, and deans are in this ceremony
At the end of the ceremony, we took a few hours personal break where many took rest or bath, performed religious activities
We will then take the Red Line or the subway T to visit Boston
We took a rooftop reservation with friends at Boston's Seaport
Going there with my friend Robert and Linda
Boston city is really beautiful to me
Not as busy as New York, but the appeal and beauty of the big city is presented here
A small recommendation for students who live on the university campus
If you get time, then take a tour of the surrounding cities by taking time
No matter what city I live in, I always love to see sky-scraping buildings
I will be in Boston for the next few months of my life
so, I am very grateful to be able to live in such a beautiful city
The rent here is very expensive, so that is a problem
This is a very nice neighborhood in Boston called Seaport
filled with culture, music, food, and amazing places to travel and see
This is 'Notorious Real-estate Company' One of the many Offices of "We Work"
We have come to the Lookout rooftop restaurant
A great view Of the Entire Seaport Neighborhood can be seen from the height of eleven floors
It seems like a magical thing in the views from high altitude
That's why I try to go to those places if there is a rooftop around
Boston is an amazing city filled with beautiful beaches
This city is filled with top scientific research, top educational institutions,
innovation, entrepreneurship, finance, biotech, etc.
That's why the cost of living in Boston is the highest cost of living in the United States
Only Non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are available at Rooftop Restaurant
That's why we have come to a different place for dinner
One of the top food attractions in Boston is Sea Food, which is very common Across the restaurants
Quite a nice outdoor restaurant
There are many beautiful paintings on the wall even before going to the indoor bathroom in the restaurant
As night approaches, Boston becomes more and more beautiful
So, after dinner, we will take a break again and then go out to see the night scene of Boston
We have crossed the same bridge shortly before this video
But in the evening, this bridge has a different look
This bridge is a wonderful place to feel the sunset
This is a tribute to those soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the patriotic cause of the US
This is the office of world-famous finance company Pwc
There are many such top company offices in Boston
That's why Boston is a Highly Demanded City for Employment and Student Life
This is the headquarters of the world-renowned consulting company "Boston Consulting Group"
If you are a student of BBA or MBA, you may have heard of BCG's various business frameworks
At Boston Seaport pier 4 boulevard is located right next to the BCG office which is a wonderful place
If you ever come to Boston, visit Seaport or Pier 4 Boulevard in the evening
In the midst of all the busyness of life, I always try to go to a place
where, by forgetting everything, the present moment can be enjoyed
It can happen in different ways
Maybe going to a beautiful place, maybe going on hiking
Maybe playing an instrument or maybe playing a sport
But these therapeutic meditative practices can make life much more peaceful during very difficult times
After the tour, I will buy some snacks from CVS for breakfast of the next day or for dinner tonight
Harvard did not organize any events for our graduation
Maybe they will organize an event dedicated to us next year
But I am happy
That on my graduation day we were able to organize a wonderful event with friends
and able to create many beautiful memories by visiting this city
And these will survive and stay forever
Now we will go home along the red line
I will end the day after going home
Thank you for watching this
