I need your help!

I can't wait to hear all of your great recommendations and resolutions.
I hope you enjoy this vlog! It was fun to film/edit.
I love you SOOOOO much. You have NO IDEA!
We love you too Rachel i had dream about you Yesterday , i Know so weird but it s true that you were working at the hospital and you become really famous on my country Algeria hh , i love your vlogs i like when you tell us medical informations and study productive vlogs and i like when you share your honnest emotions with us , all week i was waiting for friday bcz of you, have a nice day , take care of your health ❤️
Love you Rachel ❤️ we would like to have more fun facts & ur study routine.....😘 can u share links of pre-made anki decks for usmle step1 preparation
Again a clean-with me- video and a lot of stress vaccuuming 🤣🤣
I really like your videos, especially the videos where you show what you learn and I also like the fun facts
. SOOO more fun facts and ur study routine
2021=Vlogs Omg I love them!!!
I'm a foreign medical student hoping to take the USMLE in June. WE"VE GOT THISSSSS
Hi, I'm a first year med student. I was wondering what year you're in ? And what yr u recommend to take the USMLE? And hope the best for you and everyone taking it this year ❤❤
@@mohammedbinmahfooz7718 heyy. I'm in my 4th year (6 year programme). I could only speak from my experience but since I've done a year of clinical work I found it easier to grasp most of the pathologies and pharmacology related to it. And I decided to take it this year because I want to take step 1 before I apply for USCE and before they change it to pass-fail.
@Stefanie Sri Lankan studying in Russia, haha I know I'm all over the place
@@HA-rh1bb for an international medstudent currently in their third year (6 year programme too) would you recommand taking the usmle before january 2022 just bc of the pass/fail? Or would it be better to do it at the end of the 4th year, which is the first clinical year (june 2023).
@@Xandrynel Honestly you should take it when you feel ready :) From what I have read if you're planning to match into a competitive speciality or a top-ranking programme it's better to do it before they change it to P/F. But then again don't rush into it, you can always get a great score for step 2, but I feel like now is the best time for me to do it. And since we have classes online mostly I have more free time to study.
“Didn’t get up early, I woke up 7:23” omg that’s pretty early😂
I was demotivated to study while watching a lecture recording and then realized you're uploading a video today and now I'm excited and energized AHHHH
My goals are to get organized, prioritize my health, and make straight As in nursing school!
I’m in nursing school and my husband asked what his belly button connected to and now I can answer it! Loved the fun facts. I think a lot of viewers are studying medicine so it’s interesting. Also like you said it helps you when you teach it...
and when you talked about sharing the negative emotions! Yes yes. I commented this before but it’s you documenting your life and helping others by normalizing it and showing how you overcome it.
I love your videos!!
I can really see that learning all these structures makes you look at the world differently
At some point I would like to explain to this amazing person just why they are such an inspiring person on all levels. Honestly, people like this make me BELIEVE and the reasons why are profound.
🥺 I love you
@@RachelSouthard Dude, I wanna make you dinner. Total boss.
It’s about that time again! It’s been one crazy year for me a side from the pandemic. Had to take a gap year due to not getting into my grad program. This news took a toll on my physical health and especially my mental state. My resolutions include: working out (and actually maintaining it), positive thinking and growth, and finding things that make me truly happy on the inside. Rachel, you inspire me to keep pushing forward on my dream of working in the medical field! Your videos bring me happiness and energy. I would love to see more of your study techniques but continue to be YOU. At the end of the day I enjoy every single one of your videos and content. KEEP IT UP!!! 😊
My New Years Resolutions, they may change
-Start working out, not to lose weight but to gain muscle
- Start a TH-cam channel
- Attend my first Pride!! 🏳️🌈 (if they have it this year)
- Stop procrastinating
As for your videos, that’s what they are, yours. Whatever you make we will watch because we love you and everything you do.
p.s. I still really want that Herd hoodie you had in a couple vlogs ago😁
this is probably one of my favorite vlogs, it has a good balance of ur lifestyle & med student stuff
You know you're going to be a good doc when you start relating gross medical things to food! Made my day LOL
Hi Rachel!! My New Years resolution is read more books(that I actually enjoy lol), learn Spanish, continue to exercise healthy habits, and be much more aware/conscious in this world. 2) I LOVE YOUR VLOGS! You're the best vlogger in my opinion on youtube! I enjoy literally every single thing you do, especially those random medical fun facts. Those fun facts throw me off for a spin since I am not a med student LOL. Also, how you tell us how you stay motivated!! For 2021, I'd love to see more study videos, motivational day-to-day videos, and your overall true content that you enjoy creating! My opinion is subjective and this is your channel so I love to see your creativity come out! :) Happy New Year Rachel!
Spaghetti!!!!
I love love love every vlog. I’m always waiting for the next post. You are an inspiration and you always keep it real. Thank you for all you have done and the unselfish giving and sacrifices for all of us!! You are amazing Rachel!!
My New Years resolution is to be more efficient with my studying and grind it to the end. I’ve been too haphazard. I would like to hear some of the things you are actually learning that interest you. Sometimes something excites us when we “get it” and I would like to hear those moments.
Hi
I would like to see how you stay fit/heathy in medical school? Do you plan your meals in advance? Or just general tips on staying physically and mentally healthy in medical school with exercise, food, etc.
Every vlog I’m like: ok these can’t get any better and then you absolutely blow away my expectations every week! Love love love your channel!
I just realized that in some months it's gonna be a year from when I subscribed to this marvelous channel and I just saw your channel's trailer now
The more medicine in your blogs the better. Thanks for sharing (love your videos)!
I like videos that are 10-15 minutes long :) I would love for more study or study with me videos and/or how you balance school with other aspects of your life! a self care vlog ??
Soo happy you uploaded! I would love to see medical school fashion videos, like professional outfits to wear that are still stylish! The length of this video is perfect! Also any good book recommendations in terms of medicine ! Thank you so much!!
I was studying some microbio and saw that you uploaded. I threw my book 😂
HAHAH better go grab that book!!
@@RachelSouthard book are books after all :)
Rachel, thank you for your videos. I applied to med school this year and the last year has been so brutal - writing my primary and secondaries, waiting to hear back from schools, and constantly feeling like I’m not good enough. Every time I felt discouraged, I came to your channel to regain some motivation. Your passion and excitement for medicine, despite the low days, are infectious. This past week I was accepted to my dream school, and I will be moving to LA! I never thought this day would come. Thank you for keeping me going on the hard days, and I wish you the best in 2021 :)
Congratulations!!! I’m soooo happy for you🥺💕
@@RachelSouthard ahhh thank you so much!! :) Hope to run into you one day!!
You are dope!
I can't imagine handling being a medical student and managing a TH-cam channel side by side.
Loved this vlog! ❤️ And all those med points refreshed up my memories 😅
Stay safe.
I absolutely loved the cinematography in this vlog! I’ve loved watching the progression of this channel and I look forward to the future of it as I continue my pre medical and eventually medical school journey! Happy New Years everyone!
Also my New Years resolution is to get my sleep schedule under control, and to find happiness in myself and to make sure that I know that I’m proud of myself and my accomplishments! Also as a drummer I really loved the Latin/Samba jazz!
watching u writing is just so satistying
Homegirl, please do not feel you need to apologize, they should be very self aware and sign-off if anything is triggering. In my opinion, your shares inspire me and provide insight that is raw and organic. Some can feel crazy or out of the norm if they are don't find amazing people that share like you. So thank you! and that is on PEEEEERRRIOOOODD.
I have a few different chronic illnesses and a lot of contact with hospital admissions and doctors appointments and I have to say, knowing that there is a future doctor out there that would have their “heart broken” if a patient doesn’t feel comfortable brings me SO MUCH hope for our medical system. Let’s just say I have had lots of icky experiences with doctors and I am so happy and joyful you are in this field!
Hi Mary! I’m sorry you haven’t had the best experiences and I hope you’re doing okay 💕 I promise to never let my patients feel like we did. PROMISE.
@@RachelSouthard thank you so much 🥰❤️
For 2021 I'm trying to exercise more, and like you, at least to stretch every day, then I'm trying to be more confident, to trust myself more in my projects, and to take out of my life some persons that I've found they are toxic for me and my lifestyle. All of your videos are great, I love the way you try to normalize emotions throughout study times, to not glamorize medicine, and to show also the difficult aspects of it. for 2021 I'd like to see more study with me videos or something like that, more live streams studying, and to keep being you and improving yourself, and showing us your emotions. You're great. I'm sure that you're going to be a great doctor in the future
hey rachel! just wanted to thank you.. since i’ve found your youtube channel i’ve been feeling much more secure in my plan to study medicine. i struggle a lot with mental health issues (esp. depression & anxiety) and seeing you go through tough times and getting through them has really helped me stay motivated..
thank you for giving me hope :) i know i can do it even if it’ll be tough at times..
oh btw rlly love the aesthetic of ur videos heheh looks really calm :)
Whenever I need motivation to finish school work I always find myself watching your videos and getting started!!! Thank you for keeping me going ❤️🥺
You should do a pre-med journey video! I'm curious about what you did in undergrad & after that! We love you Rachel
Loved the explanation about the ligaments! I’m currently studying anatomy (I’m a vet student, 2nd year) and that’s part of the material. Your vlogs always give me strength to keep going. ❤️
I am also in the GI block! But my school does physiology and pathology in one year, so I'm learning it all at once!
Happy new year! Personally, I really like the way your vlogs are. The dynamic, the way you edit them, the content....
I think that the length of this video is perfect since it’s enough to cover everything that you want to show us and it is a little bit longer than your last ones. I would LOVE if you included more fun facts about medicine, you explain it in such a wonderful way for us to understand and it’s undeniable the passion you radiate when explaining them. I think it’s such a cool way to learn about the human body and also cause I could hear you talking 24/7 about anything you wanted and I’d here for it lol.
❤️
spaghetti!! ;) My main resolution for the year is to get back to a regular yoga practice. Your clips of going to the gym/working out give me motivation:) I loved this vlog and I always love the fun facts/what you're learning about right now. I'd love to see more vlogs like this, with maybe some more of what you cook on a regular basis. Also, will you be coming out with merch!? Much love from Colorado
You know what Rachel you are the best human being ever you care about everyone, you're a hard worker and always keep going I just want to be like you when I grow up and maybe meet you someday ❤
🥺💕
I love the longer videos, 15 to 25 minutes!! But of course will watch anything you post haha also would love to know what you use as motivation to workout all the time, feel like I'm in a rut with my fitness atm!
Honestly, if you were making an hour long episodes per week, I'd still watch it so don't worry about length, the longer the better❤️
I have so much respect for you, and many others like you.
ooh 6:41 I would love to see what you eat for breakfast, that's the hardest part for me bc I don't want to take the time to make food, but ik I don't study as well when I'm hungry
(edit: 10:39 love how you have your stuff organized, it looks so neat and contained - my stuff is allllll over the place haha)
Hello Rachel. I know what you're doing isn't probably a new trick, but from watching your videos I've implemented on watching my pre med lectures on faster speed and it helped so much! The usual 8 hour lectures (or more) has reduced and now can be used for more self review. So, thank you :)
I needed a trigger warning for the knuckle cracking 🤣
Hey Rachel! I thought about you while watching tiktoks of people describing weird or unprofessional experiences they have had with doctors. I thought it would be really interesting to hear your perspective or reaction to some of them. Good luck with your new semester and boards!
Hey Rachel and herd!!! Hope everyone is doing well. Miss you guys! Trying to get out of my depression...ugh I needed this video. 💜💜💜
I love watching your videos, both of my parents have covid so it’s a great distraction :)
I hope they have a speedy recovery!
Hey I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I've just recently discovered your channel and I really like you! I'm in college currently for health information technology and medical billing and coding. I've been having so many highs and lows, I just overthink everything, doubt myself and worry too much. I like that you show your highs and lows too, your vlogs are very helpful and make me feel like I have a school buddy (although your school is on a whole different level of difficult of course lol)
I see it ;) I see them all!
And thank you so much Samantha!
Omg the Spaghetti 😂
My New Years resolution is to change my perception of stress. That these hardships one has to go over is just a step to my goal. I love all of your videos. The OBGYN facts are really really interesting. For 2021, can you make more study with me videos and more facts???? Ilysm 💕
Spaghetti! Loving the No Doubt jumper! This vlog was awesome, just your realness in general is such a comfort and happiness when taking a study break and watching one of your videos 😊
I loved the length! Every video I watch I’m like “aw it’s already over?” But this one was perfect length.
Yes Queen I love your videos and how real you are with your emotions and breakdowns, its so relatable for me and keeps me going despite how much of a cry baby I feel I am, I know my emotional personality will help me be a more compassionate care giver, and even better advocate so im sticking in there. Starting my last semester of Paramedic School! I will graduate by May, and I will be NREMT certified by June! No excuses Ive got this, and you've got this too! yay for stressful fun semesters! Ok byeeee.
I have my exams in june end... I'm in with you for the long haul!! Study with me sessions will be highly appreciated rachel🙃🙃 ur videos are amazing. Thank you!😊❤
WE GOT THIS
@@RachelSouthard YEAAAA LET'S KILL THEM!!! (or heal them cuz we're healers😅)
the longer the rachel videos the better!! yew
Your videos actually make my day:)
Being happy and positive is contagious.
God, Rachel is so cool! How inspiring the way she is studying at home dailyyy in the lockdown. I wish I listened to myself that much and could do what i thought is the best for me. How are ppl like her so motivated and ambitious. I guess I neeeed to be ambitious
I love longer vlogs (15-30mins) and a mix of lifestyle and medical info! More medical (like the fun facts) would be great (:
the finger cracking compilation... soooo satisfying
This year I'm 15 y/o my dream is to be surgeon so I need motivation to not give up😃✌🏻
u got thisss!!
Don't hate yourself for crying, sitting there all day and studing so much can really by overwhelming. I really is hard sitting alone so many hours especially during COVID. For me, espescially evenings are pretty tough, when I am really tired and just have to let the emotions out.
It is normal to have bad days and if anyone says otherwise then they apparently don't know how hard studying medicine is.
In my country we have 6 years of medicine, and I'm doing third year right now, so I have three more years to go.
I hope it'll pass quickly.
Lot's of love :*
Ooh I can’t wait! The trailer is great btw!
I love your videos so much ! Love watching how hard you work
Dang I love her cup collection.
I am so excited for this vlog. I really enjoy learning new things and this is going to be way fun!!
Thank you. I love these informational/cool facts!
I’m studying for my CPA license. Totally not the same as the boards but it’s really motivating to see your videos. I have 12 months to study. 🥲
I’d like to see videos on tips for creating routines//more daily vlogs!!
Hey Rachel! When in loss of hope, I always come to your videos. Thank you so much for being there for us. Also, where did you get your computer table??? 🌻
Could you do a video or IGTV on how you run through ANKI? I recently started and feel like I run so slowly through them. Any tips you have would be great! and thank you for the great content!
spaghetti (:
my only resolution is to drink more water!
I loved the vlog, the length, the pace etc!! never am bored, and never want it to end lol
I really like what you have been doing with the vlogs. they don't always have to be super exciting, you know? for me, it's nice to just take a break from studying and see I'm not alone when I watch your videos. I love when you include little facts about what you are learning and I like when you show what you eat! (always looking for quick, healthy food ideas!)
wishing you the best on the boards!! your resolutions sound a lot like mine. hoping we can stick to em. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Spaghetti!
I hope you have a great year Rachel! ❤️
1) Wanna keep my anki streak - I'm at 296
2) Great as always
3) If you didn't change content I'd be alright. I like the vlog type stuff - should be easier once you get to clinical rotations!
I love this lol I'm a pre-med and was so nice
Good morning Rachel i Hope you are doing well , i did not study well this week i am ill so i am upset only one month and half left for my Big exam i do not know how to get to study again and keep fighting i am scary so IAM happy thzt to day is friday and i am gonna sée u again ❤️
I understood „a cute diarrhea“ 😂
i love your vibe in this vlog
does rachel have a video on how she sets up her excels or is it in any of her vlogs? i've been trying to track my lectures/assignments in excel but i'm not the greatest at setting it up and rachel's looks so nice!
Last vlog!!
Loved this vloggg. I find myself relating because there’s so much stuff to do, I’m also writing my first step in June but it’s not called step in my country, that’s by the way.
Point is I’m stressed. But this vlog made me feel better✨
When do you edit? 🌸I really appreciate your effort! Loved this vlog! More of these😘
you make me so motivated!!
First premier. Got my first COVID test the day before my birthday.
No one:
Rachel: I didn't get up early, i got up a 7:23
Me, who wakes up at 12 o'clock everyday: 👁👄👁
😂😂
My fav tidbit from school is: postprandial abdominal distension. I say it very seriously in my dr. voice and it sounds like the person is going to die. FYI---it is after dinner gas or bloating!
LOVE the no doubt hoodie!
could you tell us more about how you take your info from you lecture and your process for studying for exams. Thank you!!
you are being hard on yourself ... take it easy
I’m a medical scribe for a neurosurgery clinic in Michigan. One of the neurosurgeons attended the same med school as yours, and he frequently donates money to your school. There’s a room named after him! Small world
Oh wow!! Thank him for me!
GIRL. Recently came across your channel and wanted to say I LOVE what you're doing. Just barely started my own channel as an MS1 and l can't even imagine being where you're at now but here goes. Any advice on how to be more efficient managing content creation on top of school?
HAHA I love how you said the worms looked like spaghetti and then ate spaghetti
😂
Acute diarrhea is what I have when I go on a bender of milk products (pizza, quesadillas, milk shakes, icrecream) all the good stuff I cant have.
Ahhhh I am well familiar with that. All of the good things, we can’t eat (but still do). A SHAME.
Keep doing the fun facts, I find them really interesting. Also, what do you do after you have taken an exam and you don't need to test yourself with the Anki decks corresponding to the topic you were studying for anymore? Do you just delete them? And I think 10 min vlogs are the sweet spot in my opinion
Why did I think of Young Sheldon when I saw "Fun facts"?!!
Hi Rachel!!! I know this is very random but I’m in a bit of a desperate situation. Do you have any advice on early stretch marks? I got a couple recently and they’re dark red and was wondering if you had any advice on how I can help them “go away”? I hope you’re doing great and happy new year! Great video like always ❤️
Wow Nice trailer 😀. Yes spaghetti 🍝
Could you do a video on stretches/ how you stretch your body, please 🥺❤️
Came here for Med School facts, stayed for the ASMR cracking and popping 😂
Also lemon will reveal all the paper cuts you didn’t know you had lol
U look like twins with rachel from la casa de papel omgggg u look just like her🤯😍
My resolutions are to be less stressed and anxious, get fit and be healthier physically and mentally, get better grades, and make more friends.
WOW coolest vlog
The chocolate, haha 😂 felt that 100%
