Most med school students only ahow the good bits about studying medicine.... you actually showed how stressful it can get.. and I really appreciate it... your videos are absolutely amazing... ❤
As a first year medical student it's important to not only highlight the good parts about medical school but also the tiring and stressful parts. Authenticity and transparency is key! Love your channel
Maha I actually really loved that you complained so much in this vlog. I'm not in med school (yet) but I am pre-med and whenever I have particularly a hellish time I get the same way (especially when you said you didn't want to study with other people because they would know things you didn't that's me right now prepping for this health care exam omg it's so frustrating). Your authenticity is comforting and encouraging, it not only shows that you're (a very lovable) human but that even in med school it's okay to not have everything under control all the time and I appreciate that, and you.
this is my fourth year at med school and I have experienced all of this stress and anxiety especially during my second year ... I do believe in the saying " it never gets easy but you are getting stronger " keep the good work Maha you are an inspiration allah be with you insha2allah
Anta Kebe I'm an Egyptian muslim living in Egypt so actually I have no idea about being hijabi in a foreign country experience, but all I can say; you have to trust yourself no matter what I always see Maha's videos and how ppl in her college treat her friendly and love her, so let you actions define you,,, so about med school experience my first year ran so smoothly but during first semester in my second year stress for exams was soooo much it was my first time to experience insomnia, eating disorders, my heart races, can't focus or understand anything I read, and I thought how the college I dreamed to join being my worst stressor ever!! maybe it's just not my place I wouldn't be good at medicine but when I decided to shift career or do sth to end this anxiety, I figured out I have no interest in any other thing and I asked Allah for help and guidance. I passed those final exams elhamdulleah.. and for my second semester in the year I changed my way of thinking that if it's not my place Allah wouldn't help me get in or help me overcome all of that . and I studied not for grades not for exams but for the patients I will treat and only doing my best leaving grades and all of that to Allah. tried to cope with my anxiety, I suffered for a while from insomnia especially at exams nights. but gradually it decreased and all of the stress and anxiety as well, and third year ran smoothly although it was harder.. and here I'm in my fourth year. so really you grow stronger and have more control over your life, always do your best and forget the rest as they say xD you have to know you will encounter many breakdowns but you have to beat those and continue the hard work. Allah be with you. :)
Heba Elsayed ameeen , JazakAllahumKhayr for your kind and encouraging words,right now im foing s biotechnology degreetrying to figure out if I should try the med school entrance exam or not insh'Allah
I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being real and showing the good and the bad. I won't be in med school, I will be a Clinical Psychology major. These videos shows it's okay to nor be okay. It's apart of life.
Thankyouuu, i always see medical students sugar coating things and that stresses me out, and seeing u show that u are stressed but at the same time ur motivating is so motivating
I'm so proud of you. You are amazing. I love how you show the stressful moments as well. That is what we want and also NEED to see. I'm getting myself ready emotionally for when I start med school. I have a husband and four kids and my little one will be seven when I start medical school. I absolutely know that it's going to be hard and I accept that. But getting to see the good and the strengthening part of med school is wonderful and really helpful. Sugar coating isn't going to help anyone. I'm so happy I found your channel.
Girl, I don't expect you to be happy all the time. Medical school is definitely hard as hell and it's expected to be stressed and possibly negative at times. All you have to do is try your best, we love you regardless. Honestly, your version of being negative doesn't seem negative to me hahah. You're stressed and you are still so smiley and so kind to others. You're much better than most, very inspiring regardless. I am in nursing school and I feel the pressure too!
I LOVE YOU you literally said what I needed to hear!! I'm a first year med student like you and I am STRESSING but I chose this and hell I'll enjoy it as much as possible
May Allah me it easy for you. I can't believe only 3 weeks Left for your first year in medical school. You have come a long way and am so proud of you. Keep inspiring us and I hope your hard work will all be paid off inshallah.
I felt kinda guilty watching you apologize for complaining because i complain all the time and im only in grade 12. i love that you are staying (mostly) positive even in hardships. thanks for another great video :)
Honestly, I even enjoy the negative stuff, it just inspires me and makes me want to work even harder! Plus APs are in 3 weeks and I haven't started studying yet so it helps me know I'm not alone ❤️❤️❤️ love your vids please never stop!
SO RELATABLE i’m 40 lectures behind and have an exam next monday and have to study alone cuz i’m embarassed by how much everyone else knows and i have to work non stop everyday and i have no one else to blame but myself so relate
These are my sentiments exactly! Wow! I never knew someone could articulate exactly what I wanted to say so perfectly! My I really try to watch my vlogs from being super negative but some times there are days where the stress is so over my head! Good luck! Thanks for all the tips! From one med student to another!
It was extremely brave of you to show how stressed you were and the reality of your experience. Often vlogs promote perfection and create unrealistic expectations for life but your video's depth and candor was much more inspiring than a set up scenario . This was the first video I've ever watched of yours and it was so great that I'll definitely be watching more. Good luck as you continue through school!
Omg I love you!!! This is my first time watching you channel and I’ve watched every single video. You’re GORGEOUS, SMART, and have the MOST POSITIVE energy EVER!! Even when you think you’re being negative you have such good vibes. I feel it from Maryland!
i know its been a while since you posted this video but i was just feeling kind of low about studying for med school and came here you were saying how "negative" you were being etc. but honestly seeing you COMPLAIN this much actually made me feel better like i felt less alone hsdfgh good luck!!
Omg I love your Med School Vlogs! 😭❤️ I nearly screamed when I saw a new vlog up! I can't wait to finish my undergrad to go to med school! LOVE YOUUUUU ☺️
You really encourage me to be in the medical field (even though it may not seem easy), it seems worth it in the end when you try your best. Also your personality is on point. Keep up the great work sis! 😊😊
You absolutely motivate me to study for my senior year when ever I feel down or unmotivated you remind how cool med school is and how it is worth it to work for begad shokran. 🇪🇬
Maha, I literally never comment on videos but this one was so helpful for me. I'm in 1st year of med school as well and honestly hearing you complain (although you saw it as being negative) was soooo helpful and reassuring for me, it was like it's okay to feel stressed and overwhelmed everyone gets like this at times, because i've been feeling that a lot too lately since exams are approaching soon, but you've taught me that if you work hard then at the end you will come out feeling like you've accomplished something. So, now i feel motivated to work harder and be grateful for this opportunity I have and I just want to say thank youuuuu for keeping it real always! Also, the coagulation cascade was super useful, you should make like a blog or something where you upload useful studying resources for different topics that would be so good! Good luck with your last two months :)
You're amazing. Keep up the great content, it's been motivating. I'm a nursing student and these videos show me that some people will always have it worst. Take care!
Absolutely loved this vlog! In the same boat, actually doing Haem atm and it sucks. Thanks for sharing the coag cascade- it's really useful tips! iA you smash your exams!
I'm feeling that pain right now.. Super behind on mcat studying, and so stressed... Thank you for sharing- I feel less alone now, even though you're already where I want to be. :) it really does suck going days without seeing anyone, but I want to feel proud of myself at the end of this just as you did, so gotta keep working!
The fact that ur in ur first year same as me ,and knowing it's not just me who is going through all of this ,is filling me with hope ...like yeah I know we didn't sign up for this ,or maybe be we did LOL...but it sure is gonna pay off one day Never stop vlogging 💕
I’m a medical student at KSAU-HS university , I’ve been watching you since your orientation day video . The reason is that both of us do have a degree before med school but decided quit late that being a physician is what we want . I’ll be there Enshallah in your graduation video to comment and say congratulation :)
Hey Maha. Thank you for this vlog. I have my big undergrad exams in a month and I am genuinely, extremely behind on it. I wish I was exaggerating n being dramatic but I'm really not. The feeling is terrible and incredibly demotivating. BUT watching you work hard in medschool gives me a certain perspective n motivation that I really appreciate. It's night time where I am now but I'm determined to start tomorrow off well and push through to the end of my exam season. InsyaAllah. Thank you Maha! Lots of love from me!
I'm having hell week rn 😂💔😭 Internal medicine midterm exam and still waaay behind 💔 I feel you girl, it is stressful and draining mentally and physically, but in the end it is all gonna be worth it!! Stay amazing! 💪🏻❤️
Honestly it is good that u showed how stressed u were bcz it shows how med students feel like! IT’S real! Infact all students in any major feel the same way so don’t worry! U are going strong gurl! 🔥💪💪
Guys it's worth it I'm not in med school yet but this is my big dream I hope to be a very loved doctor to help all people around the world Please god 🙏🙏🙏help me to make my parents proud of me
I just finished my last exam for the first year in med school and it was difficult but incredibly rewarding. And thanks for the coagulation pathways tip. It’s a great way to memorize it 💕
I just wanna say thankyou so much for sharing your vlogs! You have really inspired me to begin studying medicine and train to become a doctor and I really enjoy watching your videos!💓
oh my God I was having a rough week and I came back to this vlog and its just what I needed to hear, Maha you are soo inspirational. I cant thank you enough for making this video,
Maha....and you are finally back....been waiting soooo long for your next vlog...keep rocking girl...you are such an inspiration for students like me who try so hard for a career in medical field...lots of love
You know I love this vlog so much! I love how real and intimate this one is ! I also love you you said , “I know I have been compliany...” at one point . You just made up a word lol 😂 I am sure you passed this exam. Yarub! Keep going! Keep reminding yourself, 2 months left.. nothing good ever comes easy. If it’s hard, it’s worth it ! Gotta enjoy the good and the bad sometimes !
Hey Maha, Thank you for keeping it real. For those of us thinking about making the jump, we need to know what we are signing up for in full earnest! Good luck pushing through.
I'm undergad and I actually do have to know the coagulation cascade soon. Obviously not as detailed as you have to know it, but that was really helpful! Thank you! I think ideas/tips on how you memorize your med school material would be really interesting, I love how you used an example of your own material here. Please do that more! Plus it's interesting to see exactly what you study on a given day
When you study, do you only go over each section once? Or do you go over each section once with a lot of detail and focus and then do an overview at the end? I know you showed us your planner, and you’ve probably talked about this before so sorry for asking again :)
Hayley Schrock i agree with the advice above. I’m a med student in India and I’ve struggled finding the right way to study medicine. But now i do the same thing, read the topic in general, and then memorize what needs to be memorized. I also like to write down a few words while memorizing, i feels it helps in retention but sometimes it could be a waste of time if u get carried away and start writing down sentences.
ThanK you for sharing the tips on the coagulation cascade, definitely makes it easier to remember! And good job on the intensive studying..not easy to keep everything straight in that short amount of time
Hey Maha! I have like a pneumonic for remembering the coagulation pathway which one of my residents helped me learn. SWEPT: Factor 7, warfarin, extrinsic, PT for monitoring the warfarin and finding out the problems with the extrinsic pathway. Thought it might help! Luv ur videos.. I totally get the feeling and don't worry u will get there👍
this video was inspiring!! I'm in my last semester of undergrad and am taking a gap year to save money and figure things out. I recently found out that literally ALL of my friends that wanted to go to medical school decided not to so I'm the only one that still wants to. I only pray that I can get into a medical school and pursue my dreams 🤞🏾
LOOL I have my blood unit exam this week. Was just procrastinating from memorizing extrinsic and intrinsic pathways , then you showed me that. I'll get back to it after this video.
love your vlogs aloooot, and you know what i loved the complaining part because it expresses my situation right now so feel free to express ur feelings infront of us that's what makes ur vlogs authentic and unique
you know this video is more realistic than real life , okay it doesn't make sense but I had a lot of cofee and tea too and tmorrow is the anatomy exam I'm stressed as hell gotta study gotta study
maha you are such an inspiration for me and I honestly just have a different perspective of studying and learning and it makes me so happy realizing that I can do anything that I set my mind to. Thank you maha
Its okay to stress out and feel negative at times, we are humans after all. I love that your vlogs are realistic and not some sponsored video which sugarcoats med life. ❤️
“Morocco was lit “ I really really liked that Bc like show the procrastination and the exhaustion that comes not just “oh I study 800000 hours a day and never get tired and do 500000 things a day easily”
I love this video, it just shows how human you are! Hopefully the exam went great!! Also my introverted self is shocked at how social you are it looks like the ms1 at your school is one big family 😅
Maha I love your vlogs and was so excited to see you had posted a new one! I'm only pre-med at the moment, but this video is motivating me to go grind out some more much-needed studying
Wow, love the input on coagulation factor. Learned that in physiology and I literally learned the hard way. Anyway, i could still use it in general surgery. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍🏼
the feeling of 1 week before exams... girl it is intense. and i am totally related when u said you skip class to study cause it feels like you dont have enough time for study. and sometimes i do that too hahahaha. but my advice is enjoy it! i even take a day off and totally reward myself a day before exams by hanging out with my friends in different major 😂. and it turns out great bc you don't put pressure on yourself for the exams, and remind yourself that everytime you study it is prretty much like you trying to save someone's life. on top of my notes i always write down "how to help people" and it does feel great eventho the stress can get in my way sometimes.
Hi Maha! I just found your channel yesterday and I have binged watched almost every video! To see someone so genuine going after their dreams inspires me as I start law school in the Fall! One thing I totally admire is your fashion sense - it seems really effortless, but still cute and functional. I'm a Christian and I've really felt the conviction lately to change up how I'm dressing. I've always admired women of other faiths and how they stay fashionable, but still modest. I was wondering if you had any tips, suggestions, or places you shop that could help! As a woman of color, its super tough finding things that fit curves and still cover and to top it off, I have NO (like zero) fashion sense (I look like I rolled out of the laundry hamper every time I leave the house, usually wearing baggy sweats and the same 3 or 4 t-shirts -____-) and starting law school, I want to be chic, but still comfortable. Sorry for the SUPER long comment! Any help you could offer is greatly appreciated! Thanks again so much! XOXO
I am so proud of you! I knew this video would end good. Bte we have the same name (not often that I see another person have the same name as me) and I also aspire to become a doctor, in shaa allah! Here where I lived it's all about scores for coming in to med school. They won't interview you. Anyways I really enjooy watching your vidoes. And I'm happy that you showed us this side of med school.
Omg!!! What a week!! 😨 I don't think you was being ungrateful or negative....you has ssssoooo much on your plate. I'm so happy you was able to get the studying in that you got, which was an extreme amount. Insh'allah you will get high scores😁😍
Most med school students only ahow the good bits about studying medicine.... you actually showed how stressful it can get.. and I really appreciate it... your videos are absolutely amazing... ❤
twinkling Lena shows hardships too :)
Čebelica Maja I love America too! Both are so cute and real 😊
As a first year medical student it's important to not only highlight the good parts about medical school but also the tiring and stressful parts. Authenticity and transparency is key! Love your channel

You're stressed and you are still so smiley and so kind to others. You're much better than most, very inspiring regardless. I am in nursing school and I feel the pressure too!
I love how you say "that's okay" at the end of complaining or venting. That's a really great coping mentality.
I LOVE YOU you literally said what I needed to hear!! I'm a first year med student like you and I am STRESSING but I chose this and hell I'll enjoy it as much as possible
May Allah me it easy for you. I can't believe only 3 weeks Left for your first year in medical school. You have come a long way and am so proud of you. Keep inspiring us and I hope your hard work will all be paid off inshallah.

SO RELATABLE i’m 40 lectures behind and have an exam next monday and have to study alone cuz i’m embarassed by how much everyone else knows and i have to work non stop everyday and i have no one else to blame but myself so relate
i relate to overreacting over tests complaining and regretting it when i see it doesn’t matter that much! Missed your vlogs btw ❤️
These are my sentiments exactly! Wow! I never knew someone could articulate exactly what I wanted to say so perfectly! My I really try to watch my vlogs from being super negative but some times there are days where the stress is so over my head!
Good luck! Thanks for all the tips!

I’m in nursing school right now and your videos are so motivational!!!
Wish you all success my beautiful sister Maha.
Welcome from Egypt and universal citizen. ❤
Maha! Thank you so much for showing that coagulation cascade trick! Saved my life ❤️
i know its been a while since you posted this video but i was just feeling kind of low about studying for med school and came here you were saying how "negative" you were being etc. but honestly seeing you COMPLAIN this much actually made me feel better like i felt less alone hsdfgh good luck!!
Omg I love your Med School Vlogs! 😭❤️ I nearly screamed when I saw a new vlog up! I can't wait to finish my undergrad to go to med school! LOVE YOUUUUU ☺️
I have a huge human physiology exam later and watching this video made me feel so related to and comforted!
This was so inspiration loved the little talk you gave us at the end
You really encourage me to be in the medical field (even though it may not seem easy), it seems worth it in the end when you try your best. Also your personality is on point. Keep up the great work sis! 😊😊
Love your videos!! I think it's great that you don't just show the great moments but also the hard times of medical school! Keep going girl! :)
You absolutely motivate me to study for my senior year when ever I feel down or unmotivated you remind how cool med school is and how it is worth it to work for begad shokran. 🇪🇬

hmm, do I really want to study medicine anymore..?...
Same...
Guys it's worth it
I'm not in med school yet but this is my big dream
I hope to be a very loved doctor to help all people around the world
Please god 🙏🙏🙏help me to make my parents proud of me
Appreciate it, cause some people are dreaming for that.
I'm a law student and it's hard af but I don't regret it. I love it so so much that even if I cry because I'm stressed I know it's worth it
Workload shouldn’t put you off. If you enjoy it and have a passion I promise that you’ll be able to make it work.
I just finished my last exam for the first year in med school and it was difficult but incredibly rewarding.
And thanks for the coagulation pathways tip. It’s a great way to memorize it 💕
I just wanna say thankyou so much for sharing your vlogs! You have really inspired me to begin studying medicine and train to become a doctor and I really enjoy watching your videos!💓
oh my God I was having a rough week and I came back to this vlog and its just what I needed to hear, Maha you are soo inspirational. I cant thank you enough for making this video,
I find the whole “Studying an hour or 2 before the exam” very helpful for me. I feel lost without a thorough review
I love your vlogs!!! They are so well-put together and they motivate me so much
Maha....and you are finally back....been waiting soooo long for your next vlog...keep rocking girl...you are such an inspiration for students like me who try so hard for a career in medical field...lots of love
You know I love this vlog so much! I love how real and intimate this one is !
I also love you you said , “I know I have been compliany...” at one point . You just made up a word lol 😂 I am sure you passed this exam. Yarub! Keep going! Keep reminding yourself, 2 months left.. nothing good ever comes easy. If it’s hard, it’s worth it ! Gotta enjoy the good and the bad sometimes !

I always look forward to your vlogs! I love your personality! You’re such an inspiration
I love that you're so authentic 😊 Love your videos!!
ThanK you for sharing the tips on the coagulation cascade, definitely makes it easier to remember! And good job on the intensive studying..not easy to keep everything straight in that short amount of time
Hey Maha! I have like a pneumonic for remembering the coagulation pathway which one of my residents helped me learn. SWEPT: Factor 7, warfarin, extrinsic, PT for monitoring the warfarin and finding out the problems with the extrinsic pathway. Thought it might help! Luv ur videos.. I totally get the feeling and don't worry u will get there👍
The way you explain the cascade 💛💛💛
I did my hema exam today 😪
It’s such an interesting course but so many information..🚶♀️
this video was inspiring!! I'm in my last semester of undergrad and am taking a gap year to save money and figure things out. I recently found out that literally ALL of my friends that wanted to go to medical school decided not to so I'm the only one that still wants to. I only pray that I can get into a medical school and pursue my dreams 🤞🏾
LOOL I have my blood unit exam this week. Was just procrastinating from memorizing extrinsic and intrinsic pathways , then you showed me that. I'll get back to it after this video.
love your vlogs aloooot, and you know what i loved the complaining part because it expresses my situation right now so feel free to express ur feelings infront of us that's what makes ur vlogs authentic and unique
you know this video is more realistic than real life , okay it doesn't make sense but I had a lot of cofee and tea too and tmorrow is the anatomy exam I'm stressed as hell gotta study gotta study
maha you are such an inspiration for me and I honestly just have a different perspective of studying and learning and it makes me so happy realizing that I can do anything that I set my mind to. Thank you maha
i have an exam tommorow and im legit procrastinating by watching you videos
Its okay to stress out and feel negative at times, we are humans after all. I love that your vlogs are realistic and not some sponsored video which sugarcoats med life. ❤️
“Morocco was lit “ I really really liked that Bc like show the procrastination and the exhaustion that comes not just “oh I study 800000 hours a day and never get tired and do 500000 things a day easily”
I still LOVE how real you are!
I love how honest this is
How do you study so fast? I struggle to get through more than 5 lectures a day
T same I’m done after watching 2 online lectures for my flipped class
well desperate times call for desperate measures , your brain is capable of the impossible when confronted to that amount of studying :D
Kaoutar Daoudi true!!
I love this video, it just shows how human you are! Hopefully the exam went great!! Also my introverted self is shocked at how social you are it looks like the ms1 at your school is one big family 😅
Maha I love your vlogs and was so excited to see you had posted a new one! I'm only pre-med at the moment, but this video is motivating me to go grind out some more much-needed studying
Wow, love the input on coagulation factor. Learned that in physiology and I literally learned the hard way. Anyway, i could still use it in general surgery. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍🏼
The dude who was just 'saying it for the camera' is a whole mood.
It's a huge pitb to catch up in med school especially when you fall off schedule. I'm always behind
Good maha...u showed up the stress during the exam preparation and the post exam relief that the stress really is worth it...wishing u the best ahead❤
I love all the imperfections in this video! Thank you for sharing. Btw we have the same planner.
lol just finished my grind time session so I feel you... binge watching your vlogs, thanks for creating this channel also you're so beautiful! :)
the feeling of 1 week before exams... girl it is intense. and i am totally related when u said you skip class to study cause it feels like you dont have enough time for study. and sometimes i do that too hahahaha. but my advice is enjoy it! i even take a day off and totally reward myself a day before exams by hanging out with my friends in different major 😂. and it turns out great bc you don't put pressure on yourself for the exams, and remind yourself that everytime you study it is prretty much like you trying to save someone's life. on top of my notes i always write down "how to help people" and it does feel great eventho the stress can get in my way sometimes.
I'm in your shoes as well, just a different module haha its reassuring to see this in a way
Hi Maha!
I just found your channel yesterday and I have binged watched almost every video! To see someone so genuine going after their dreams inspires me as I start law school in the Fall!
One thing I totally admire is your fashion sense - it seems really effortless, but still cute and functional. I'm a Christian and I've really felt the conviction lately to change up how I'm dressing. I've always admired women of other faiths and how they stay fashionable, but still modest. I was wondering if you had any tips, suggestions, or places you shop that could help! As a woman of color, its super tough finding things that fit curves and still cover and to top it off, I have NO (like zero) fashion sense (I look like I rolled out of the laundry hamper every time I leave the house, usually wearing baggy sweats and the same 3 or 4 t-shirts -____-) and starting law school, I want to be chic, but still comfortable.
Sorry for the SUPER long comment! Any help you could offer is greatly appreciated!
Thanks again so much!
XOXO
Loved this, and thank you for the coagulation cascade notes as well 💕
Thank you for your authenticity. What planner are you using?
Yaaaas the coagulation pathway reallyyy helpful thanx for sharing!!💖💖💖

تشجعي يا فتاه ربنا معاكي 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
First maha is my inspiration ly x
I am so proud of you! I knew this video would end good. Bte we have the same name (not often that I see another person have the same name as me) and I also aspire to become a doctor, in shaa allah! Here where I lived it's all about scores for coming in to med school. They won't interview you. Anyways I really enjooy watching your vidoes. And I'm happy that you showed us this side of med school.
11:15 Happiness is when your friend say he/she hasn’t studied either. 😝
You’re Eyebrows are GOALS!!!
You're one of my fav vloggers loveee your videos
Omg!!! What a week!! 😨 I don't think you was being ungrateful or negative....you has ssssoooo much on your plate. I'm so happy you was able to get the studying in that you got, which was an extreme amount. Insh'allah you will get high scores😁😍
