"IT'S BAD" -literally me everyday. Thanks for keeping it real in your vlogs about the struggles of med school, but also reminding us that it is all worth it because it's for our future patients! And good luck on your midterm!!
I loved the Rachel’s last few brain cells segment! 😂 I know you’re stressed now, but it will payoff in the future! You’ve got this girl! Praying for you and God bless! - Proverbs 3:5 😊
Can u pls give an updated study routine or something? Like how u study lectures and when you incorporate anki into that etc. you are very inspiring and keep up the hard work girl!!!
Loveeee your authenticity!!! I’m in medical school in Nigeria and I’ve realized from TH-cam that the struggle for medical students is almost the same all over the world. Congratulations on your brand ambassador deal, definitely going to check them out 🥰 Love from a Nigerian medical student/TH-camr
You are an inspiration to me ! I am not in medical school but paramedic school and never had a panic attack until half way through this program. Working full time EMS and going to school feels impossible sometimes and watching your videos have helped me so much, your personality has made my days so much better and made me believe I can actually make it. Thank you!
Every obstacle you face, you will for sure overcome it. I admire your strength of staying positive even when life is really kicking you down. The Herd is rooting for you! :)
i’m in nursing school right now getting my BSN. i am doing it as an accelerated course so i’m doing all my semesters without a break so this vlog was so relatable. i’m sending you good vibes!!! you got this
You should do a compilation of all your emotions throughout your first year (once you are done with year 1). I love that you don't hide it! Being in any program is difficult, but the end result is well worth it. I think you'll be a great doctor!
I admire you so much. Your constant work and willingness to keep going even when you are stressed inspires me. It makes me really want to pursue my passions and put in the work like you did!
I truly admire how strong you are Rachel, you’ll be as amazing as you are right now. I love you so much and trust the process, it’s a lot and stressful but think about the goal, YOU CAN DO THIS QUEEN !!!!
I'm in the thick of clinicals in nursing school, have a wife and two small kids, and I am feeling it. It is like a rollercoaster of emotions and stress; some days are good and empowering and some days are low leaving me feeling defeated; but I have this small voice in the back of my head when I'm down that tells me KEEP PUSHING; I like what Jocko Willink says about failure: "good" now you have opportunity to get better; take pride in every small victory to keep you going- every time you make a patient smile, every right answer you make, every 'good job' from a professor, the fact that you got outside and moved your body to take care of yourself, the moments that validate you are supposed to be exactly where you are and will one day be a good doctor. We need more doctors like you. Keep it up. -jake
Thank you so much for the reality you are showing all of us. I just went through a very stressful exam week and I’m coming out of it with a lot of negative thoughts and a lack of confidence in myself. Please continue to talk about handling stress because your advice is very comforting and uplifting to me :)
I love watching your experience! Im in nursing school and everytime I watch you, you inspire me to push through even when I'm stressed. You make me want to study.😁
I really appreciate the fact that you keep it real in your vlogs, it gives me the motivation to keep pushing in med. And that “I THOUGHT I HAD A LOT TO DO BUT...” is so relatable. Literally me this entire week! 😂
That med school stress definitely can feel suffocating at times and it's absolutely relatable. Thank you for being real with us and sharing your journey! You've come a long way and have grown so much as a person since starting. Keep up the amazing work! This'll be all worth it in the future! 💯
i love watching your videos, watching your experience has helped me to solidify my decision to pursue medical school. also, it encouraged me to look into DO programs as well! thanks for everything girl, keep crushing it!
Where do you get your plain tees from (like your green one ~7 min) ?? ! Also, thanks for showing your friend that said "it's okay if you don't want to be a doctor. You can be a PA" because I've been on the fence for years....so I'm gonna go for it!
May I ask where you got your hair done? I recently moved about 20 minutes from your school and I’ve yet to find a place to get my hair cut. I’d love to get it done before my Med school interview in two weeks
"Everything is fine... I'm fine... Everything is fine" HAHAHA. Same. That's me trying to convince my last two brain cells to keep pushing forward through organic chem notes rn LOL
Love your hair! Also How do you guys keep your white coats white? I'm impressed lol. Also seeing your real struggles during school helps me to realized it is okay to be stressed but to continue moving forward so thank you! :)
Can you make a video on how to pay for medical school? Like how you did the FAFSA and got loans (everything to pay to go to medical school for the first year)
The only way to reduce stress is to throw peace signs in the air as much as possible.
I LOOOOVEEE that you show the real behind the scenes of the struggle of medical school I looovee iiiittt

I truly admire how strong you are Rachel, you’ll be as amazing as you are right now. I love you so much and trust the process, it’s a lot and stressful but think about the goal, YOU CAN DO THIS QUEEN !!!!
I’m very curious as to how you study all of those lectures! It’s amazing how much you retain!
Could that be a topic in a video? 😅 Unless I missed one with that specific topic
Micaih Murray spaced repetition is key! Anki is a program that aids in that. Google about the forgetting curve to learn more
Anki gives me a headache - still don’t know how to use it 😂
Watch Ali Abdaal videos. He does evidence based learning. It’s really interesting.
You’re not alone! I’m going through my first year of vet school alongside you and good lord IM FEELING THE STRESS TOO
Currently obsessed with ur channel and binge watching all ur videos 🤩💗
Omg yes Ariana Grande! Made my night, love you, stay strong.

This is EXACTLY how I’ve been feeling lately 😩 I’m going to read the book you mentioned cause I need all the tips on how you stay so positive !!!
You’ve grown so much! Not only you, but your channel as well:) I’m so proud of you🥺💕
I hate seeing people stressed about school 😭😭 but it’s real and shows how much you care about your future. Awesome videos!

Being a physician assistant is actually a great career! You get to do a lot for less schooling and less debt than a physician.
I love watching your experience! Im in nursing school and everytime I watch you, you inspire me to push through even when I'm stressed. You make me want to study.😁
I love that you said, "You must change your way of thinking to maximize your potential."
Thanks for your book recommendation on managing stress :) I have been crying alot through grad school due to stress
She locked us up in her backpack 😱

Aww sending you love girl! I'm in physio school right now (low key stressed 24/7 😅) so I can completely relate. You can do this!!
Ooh you have a PA friend :) I graduate PA school in August (thank freaking goodness)
The clip of you brushing your teeth in the morning while still asleep is totally relatable!!
You should do a video comparing PA school to Med school!
The earrings are cute and simple!
ahh it makes me so happy that you were listening to the thank u, next album... it's one of my faves and i love it sm
Me having a mental breakdown : "I love going to 8am lectures and full days of labs and taking tests at the end of the week. I just love it"
Girl you are funny 😂😂😂 your hair looks great⭐️
4:56 essentially, if you can't change the situation, change your attitude.
Do you take notes while watching the lectures and make Anki cards at the same time? How long do the notes take to do?
You got this! Have a long list of ideas to target.
can't wait! I relate to you on so many levels.
How much free time would you say you typically have? I love ur videos!!!
Sis idk how you do it. I cry and lose sleep over my school counseling master’s courses lol
I just ordered Ryan's book, thanks for the recommendation!
Yay another vlog!! Love your hair by the way
Thank you Ally!!

Kut Haus!!!
Rachel Southard thank you!
Are those the gymshark flex leggings? Can you do a video about your favorite workout gear?
Your videos bring me so much joy! Even if it’s you being stressed 😂💕 love you!!
HAHA! thank you love
You should do a "study with me" video!
"Everything is fine... I'm fine... Everything is fine" HAHAHA. Same. That's me trying to convince my last two brain cells to keep pushing forward through organic chem notes rn LOL
Hey Rachel! Love love love your videos !!!!
liked before watching! so excited
That moment when you study so much you forget to eat! Been there way to many times :D
Rachel is adorable 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your hair! Also How do you guys keep your white coats white? I'm impressed lol. Also seeing your real struggles during school helps me to realized it is okay to be stressed but to continue moving forward so thank you! :)
Rachel will you do a video that tells us exactly what classes you are in each semester? OR did I miss that one?
We don't really have "classes."
We just have lectures multiple times a day that cover something different each time that revolve around a body system.
You remind me so much of Rory from Gilmore Girls. Same mannerisms and voice!
The humor in this vlog 👌
My last brain cell is singing Mambo #5 and I have a patho exam next Wed. Wish me luck ✌️
Also how often do you take study breaks?
i love you and your videos so so much but how do you not forget some of the things you study since its so HARD? your just amazinggg
Can you make a video on how to pay for medical school? Like how you did the FAFSA and got loans (everything to pay to go to medical school for the first year)
oh man. tbh. i probably will never do that. I know so little about it. All i did was apply for gov loans and they gave them to me lol
Where did you get your hair done?? 😍
This vlog was SO RELATABLE I loved it😆
This vlog is still so relatable a year later 😆
Omggg could u do an updated study routine?
yes!! i plan on doing that soon!
subtle flex on the handstand
Where did you get your white cup from ?! It’s sooo cute !! ❤️
is it ok to have a nose piercing in medical school and when working as a doctor?
you are so amazing.
