"I decided to move on. I started writing songs and now I became a musician," he said in the video.

"Then three days ago, I was going through my old email inbox and I found an email from Harvard six years ago that I haven't opened. I don't understand how I missed this."

"Initially, I was mad, then sad, then I felt proud of myself. And now this whole thing is just funny. Thing is, I know nothing changed after I opened this email."

"But I just wanted to say this story out loud because if I'm the only one in the world who knows this story, I'll be too sad."

The story highlights the importance of regularly checking one's email and the unpredictability of life's paths, and has resonated with many on social media.

Social Media Reaction

"WHAT that's crazy LOL they didnt even send a letter," one user wrote in the comment section.

"Dude! What a huge accomplishment!! So freaking cool! Maybe reapply and take a class! They do have some free classes online! I think you deserve a Harvard hoodie in any case!!" another user said.

"Sometimes in our life, things happen for a reason. If you really open the email and when to Harvard. You might end up doing something else and will never have this conversation here," a third said.
