Alright college-goers, no excuses now

Well, this young fella is truly putting us to shame with his double-graduation.

Mike Wimmer recently was his high school valedictorian at just 12 years old.

But that wasn't enough for him, as Mike also graduated from college in the same week.

Here is talking to Ellen about how he does it all.

The North Carolina boy also told the 3rd hour of TODAY's Morgan Radford that he had decided to increase his academic workload during the Covid pandemic.

"I didn't have to commute to school, so that actually gave me a lot more time to be able to pick up extra classes," he said.

"It was like, well, we're sitting here doing nothing, right? So might as well take a few extra classes and get some stuff knocked out," he added.

Well, if this isn't inspiration, we don't know what is!

But there's more!!

The young lad also has started two technology companies.

He began the first, Next Era Innovations, when he was just 7 years old.
