"If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard," Zuckerberg said.
Before imparting any wisdom to the class of 2017, though, Zuck wanted to set the record straight on a few things regarding The Social Network, the Aaron Sorkin movie that unflatteringly dramatized his time at the college.
"That movie made it seem like [Facebook predecessor] Facemash was so important to creating Facebook," he said. "It wasn't."

"No one writes formulas on glass," he said. "That's not a thing."
Zuckerberg tried for the nth time to shut down speculation that he's mulling a presidential run earlier this week.
