- Hi guys! My name is Vivien and I am a current first year medical student in the United States :) Follow along with my journey!
This week I fumbled the bag. But instead of letting it take me down, we're gonna reflect, learn from it, and grow! Because that's the point of everything, not just getting through med school, but growing to become better humans.
ALSOOO we got to 1000 subs this week!! mind=blown. THANK YOU !

It took me like 6month, literally the whole First semester, to figure out how i should study and do lecture notes, i am now at the end of my second semester and still haven‘t it all Figured out🙂
It is a learning process and you got this!❤️step by step🦋
thank youuuu 🥹 i appreciate the love!! 🤍
Hey tell that fear that you(say I) can do this!! Don’t let that voice overcome, look at how far you have already come and achieved!! You have passed your MCAT and now you’re in med school! That’s so amazing already, you deserve to be there and you deserve to succeed. Keep reminding yourself about your dream and how far you’ve come. You got this and we believe you!!!
holy 💩 i love u. thank u.
You're giving me America Revere vibes and I absolutely love it!!! Can't wait to follow your journey!!!! ❤I aspire to be you one day and I love how open you are about your struggles and failures. So proud of you and you are going to do amazing! Don't forget to enjoy the journey!!! 😁
Not a med school student but starting back to undergrad (on a path to law school) soon and your videos are such a calming influence to me!
i’m so happy to hear that you find this calming 🥹 law seems super cool, and i know it’s tough. u got this!! best of luck on your journey🥰
I also got accepted into medical school this year (starting in October ahhh) but it's so cool to see you start and begin your journey and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you 🥰 wishing you the best of luck 😘
Congratulations 🎉🤗You got this 🥳
Go you!!!! I love talking myself through anything
so proud of you and literally so grateful to have you to watch while im literally going through the same thing. struggling, breaking down crying, thriving, repeat. this is the most rollercoaster of two weeks that I've experienced in a minute and it feels really good not to be alone. you're not alone. this is challenging. its supposed to be challenging. but these are just bumps in the road. we're doing great.
hells yes!! thank u mamacita i’m proud of you too. we got this!!! 👩🏽⚕️ loading
I have no interest in medicine, but my sister-in-law just moved a few states away to start medical school at the same time you did, so I’ve been enjoying watching your content to get an idea of what she might be going through :-) really enjoying your videos so far! Can’t wait to see more of your journey!
aww i love this!!! pls call her and check on her sometimes. it can be hard for us to find the time/ motivation to reach out , but we need it 😂🥲
I'm a 4th year medical student from Latvia ( we have 6 years of medschool in total) and I still struggle finding the best study method, sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming with all of the ways you can consume information. But a real life saver for me was ninja nerd on youtube and armando hasudungan- helped out a lot in pathology and physilogoy! I also have the forest app on my phone- that helps me concentrate more. Also Faye Bate has a great video for studying tips- that are made for females :)
Wishing you all the best!
P.S- i have seen people do excel sheets of topics and keeping track how many times they have reviewed each topic, maybe that helps :)
3rd year med student here. I promise every med student has experienced the wave of emotions you felt last week, that’s part of the process! You’ll catch on. I can already tell you’re gonna be an amazing advocate for your future patients so just keep that in mind as you continue to adapt to med school. You’re gonna do great!
eeek thank u , means a lot coming from an upperclassman 🙏🏼
You got this Vivi! It's ok to be stressed, you are making progress every day, meaning that you are getting closer to your goal. Much love!
thank u boo
Thanks for being so honest! Your self awareness and composure is so admirable - you’re going to be an amazing physician!
Literally never quit. You got this!!!!
Real and raw, thank you for sharing! Fellow M1 here sending love and good vibes from sunny Florida :)
I love your excitement about the catheter placement. LOL gimmee! 🥰
still coming down from the thrill of that experience lolll
I just started my second year of dental school and am still struggling to form a good study routine. I love your vlogs!!
We are all rooting for you. You got this. All you can do is your very best and your future patients will be very lucky to have you 🍀
thank u Rachel 🥹🤍
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in medical school! I am starting med school next week, so it's been really comforting being able to see what my life will be like soon enough :)
ommmggg congratulations boo!!! 🥳🎉
Excellent work my friend 👏 new friend here 👍 Thank you very much for sharing 👏
I just found you channel and I'm in love with your vibe, your voice and your content. I'm from Brazil and I'm still trying to get into med school, but your way of talk about it inspired me so much! Sending a lot of love💞💞💞
omg i am brazilian
I just subscribed! This vlog was so relatable and I appreciate you sharing your struggles and triumphs. Congrats on making it through 2 weeks of med school! Keep pushing, you got this. I started classes 6 weeks ago for coding and software development and I've felt like a failure more times than I can count. This vlog motivated me to keep going!
I’m so happy that i found your channel ❤️ I’m starting med school in October and I have honestly no idea how to maintain a good study routine
its a week by week, day by day, hour by hour adjustment. but stay vigilant and u will prevail!!
i am also happy u found :) welcome !
You Got this Vivien! You got into med school and you are highly capable . . . you’ll sort all the studying out along the way. 😄🙏👍💯🤗💪
“Failure is the highway to success!” Failure is not who you are but part of the process . . . so I’m told often!
You are such an inspiration to me and your so so beautiful!!! ❤️
thank you pretty girl !! this means a lot 🥲
don't worry vivi you got this love and hugs from somalia😍
You’re gonna be a cool Doc Vivien. Love your positive vibes 😏
I'm studying for my MCAT now and hoping to attend medical school in 2024. These updates are great! You're doing great and are so self-aware! You've got this!
How'd your MCAT go?
We believe you can achieve your dream!!!
Very inspiring!!
MD1 as well!! you got this.
If it makes you feel better, one time I got a 1/6 on those quizzes after it was curved 1 point
😂 🐐
I really Appreciate the fact how natural you keep it with lil to no makeup at all. Gorgeous! I also like how your name is spelled with an E in Vivien instead of an A. My first name has an E instead of A in Julien. Everybody wants to spell it with a damn A lol
Anywho, I'm currently a Pre-med student. So, it's nice to get a lil insight on your med school journey.

@@vivienmakhoul gang gang!
hugs from Poland :)
hugs back!! 🦋💫
Are you by any chance considering FM, peds, or ob?
hii!! i just subscribed yesterday :) i watched your first week of med school video and loved it! i’m hoping to go to med school after my masters! may i ask whether you are attending a DO or MD program im trying to decide which one i want to apply to 😭
after u have a better idea of ur mcat scores/ gpa/ etc, use that info to apply but ALSO keep in mind what type of specialties u wanna go into and look up the philosophies of both degrees. either way ur gonna be an awesome doctor, helping patients, and giving back but one might suit u better. i applied to both!
@@vivienmakhoul thank you so much!! i will do just that! :))) Im wishing you all of the best this year and beyond, you’re going to do fabulous!!! Excited to follow you on your journey!
Can u tell me abt the books ur referring to for 1st year subjects
hii could you make a video on the devices you use for notetaking? such as your ipad and the apps you use etc. :)
hey boo! yes absolutely can do that. gimme a couple weeks but i got u
@@vivienmakhoul yayy ty :D
I love your hair
Hiii from Spain
holaaaa 🤍 me gusta mucho tu profile pic
Not med school related but so curious..what products do you use on your curls? Very pretty curls!
omg thank you so much!!!! i use the garnier fructis leave in conditioner. its like the cheapest kind u can buy, but it works wonders tbh
This might be a silly video suggestion, but would you be interested in or willing to make a video on how to dress for medical school as a woman? I'm doing my undergrad right now and I will be applying to med school. But I have no idea how I should dress for med school because I know I'm dressing too casual for it now lol
i got inspired by this suggestion and made a tiktok/short/reel on what i wore for my first week back. i’m gonna make a couple more of these and see how ppl like them ! thanks for the great idea :) i remember not knowing what to wear esp since the majority of my attire was athleisure and that wasn’t allowed 😂
@@vivienmakhoul I also love athleisure so that's relatable as heck lol. Thanks so much! I'll totally check those reels out. I hope others like them too :)
Worse case, you can play a doctor on TV 📺 like me. 😶
Hello. So, tbh, I am a premed, and have tested Anki, and it is not for me. Any advice? What should I replace anki with. I am actually asking this question, so that I get advice on what to do in medical school if I can't use anki
hey joseph!! so it wasn’t for me either when i was premed (tried it and hated it) but now im into it. i think bc i was given decks for my lectures by upperclassmen, so after i receive the info, its a great way to review.
if u get here and still hate it, u aren’t alone. tons of ppl don’t use it. i think practice questions are the best way to learn (bc it rly tests if u understand or jus memorize). tons of ppl use quizlet instead of anki, some ppl jus create their own mnemonics for everything, some ppl jus review lecture slides, some use bnb, sketchy etc.
there is a seemingly limitless amt of resources for med students. its gonna be an adjustment period to find what works for u, but for now focus on getting thru pre med :) best of luck!!
@@vivienmakhoul Thank you Vivien. Loved this youtube video and I am a new sub. I can't wait for more content from you. I actually prefer creating my own mnemonics and review lecture slides. So, I think I will be able to figure it out later. Additionally, I am relieved to know that anki is not a necessity, but a method of learning.
Out of curiosity, why is no one wearing a mask in lecture?
In your last video you made iced coffee and mentioned that it might be too expensive for you to keep up with. I used to do the same for my iced coffee and felt the same way about the the price. I can 100% guarantee that if you steep Folgers coffee for a couple of hours at room temperature you'll get the exact same result. I would look at this video th-cam.com/video/XXV7M3cQDcA/w-d-xo.html .. This isn't an advertisement or anything just wanted to help out a little. This TH-camrs coffee is a little light I usually steep for like 9 hours or more. The longer you steep the darker/stronger it is. After you finish steeping I place it in the fridge and it last longer.
👏👏👏
U use instagram !
nope !
