CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Today we met local hero Chad Bellinski, a college student at a “little school just outside of Boston.” (Harvard. He goes to Harvard.) He spoke to us about a recent discovery that put him on the map: a marvel advancement in “getting shit done.”
Bellinski is working toward his degree in neuroscience to ‘“figure out what the hell is going on up there” (he told us while pointing to his head) and is currently taking four classes. Psychology, Chemistry, Biology and Intro to Neuroscience are a lot for one student to keep up with, right? Where does one find the time to do homework for all these classes? This is a question that haunts fellow little-school-just-outside-of-Boston attendees and university students around the globe. The answer is simple — almost too simple to spot.
“It’s easy,” Bellinski said, smiling. “I do my Psychology homework during my Chemistry lecture, my Chemistry homework during my Biology lecture, my Biology homework during my Intro to Neuroscience lecture and my Intro to Neuroscience homework during my Psychology lecture.” Our news team certainly did NOT have to draw a diagram to understand that!
“It’s a similar accomplishment to the cracking of the Enigma code in World War II,” commented a professor of psychology. “We’re not sure how he did it. But, goddammit, he did. How he actually learns from the lectures and does another subject’s work at the same time is beyond me.”
“Yes. ADHD,” Bellinski added. “Always Doing Homework … Done!” During our interview, he was writing an email to another news outlet. Smart! We asked for further comment, but he was also speaking to five other outlets while being interviewed by us and writing emails, so we didn’t get it in time for publication.
