Mark Zuckerberg's Dorm Room

With over 2 billion monthly users, Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the world. Since it's creation, it has completely changed the way we live, from how we communicate with family and friends and digest news, to how we discover trends.

For the first time in over 13 years since the social network's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, dropped out of Harvard university, he's returned to his dorm room where the website that changed the world was born. And, he's treated us all to a 23-minute Facebook live tour of his beloved uni pad.

Positioned sitting in a chair at the very desk that we can only assume was where he ideated and then coded 'thefacebook.com' (which we now know as 'Facebook'), Zuckerberg gave us a view into his life inside dorm H-33 in Kirkland House. And let us tell you, his room is huge.

Featuring an old wooden desk and matching chair, white painted walls and a twin-sized bed, his bare uni room looks surprisingly similar to ours' - except for the fact that it's much more spacious. There's honestly so much room for activities, even with the addition of a fireplace (yes, a fireplace).

'It's my first time being back here since I left 13 years ago. This has been a place where a lot of really special things happened in my life. I'm really grateful,' said Zuckerberg during the Facebook live stream. When he first started the video, 100,000 people tuned in to watch. But, by the time he had finished, nearly 2 million people were watching live.

During the tour, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla - whom he met at Harvard - were sharing stories of their memories in the dorm. 'I think there is probably some good karma here', said Zuckerberg. Well, probably, considering you're now a multi-billionaire and the founder of Facebook. And just to think...it all started in a poxy dorm room as a way to rate how whether his college classmates were 'hot or not'.

Anything's possible guys. Reach for the stars.
