I think the reason I love America’s vlogs so much is because she is so down to earth. She isn’t faking her attitude and she isn’t always smiling....what I mean by that is that she discusses her good times AND the bad ones... If I’m being completely honest, I think America is one of the most down to earth people. I think she should have so much more attention than all the people out there who are faking their attitudes each and every day
America, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your humor and your realness. Thank you for always putting on a smile even when things aren't optimal. You are keeping this Pre-Med sane and hopeful.
Depression and anxiety weigh you down sooo much, I used to be extremely anxious, finally starting to overcome it. Shout out to everyone getting through their mental illnesses and stay strong to everyone still struggling!! *I believe in you* 😘
Honestly, I was pretty similar! Before my sophomore year in college I was more anxious than most but nothing crazy, but then sophomore year Idk I was full force anxiety, I never left my room, shut everyone out, it was terrible. One thing that really helped me was just really talking to myself like "ok what is actually freaking me out, and is it realllly that big of a deal or is it just in my head" and reallllllyyy try your hardest not to care what others think, even if you do care, fake it till you make it! And of course if things ever get too intense or unhealthy a professional is always there for you, but if you just want a friend, I think you can message over youtube, if not my IG is elijahz1 .. going through anxiety was rough, going through it alone can sometimes feel unbearable. 😊
Hi America, Idk if you remember me, but I was the SAT Blue Book giveaway winner. I just finished the SAT (forever) and I would like to thank you so much for the book! The difference between my first test and final test was over 260 points-all thanks to you!
I’m an undergrad premed and I kid you not, when I feel like giving up and just ignoring school I think of you and I’m able to push through the exhaustion. What I love most about you is your relatability and realness with the hard work and hard times. You inspire me 💕
No matter how bad you might feel just know that you inspired and still inspire me to go to medical school. And I understand what your saying I always dont care what people think but when I need to care im a little scared of the criticism but it’s life. It is great to see someone who feels like I do😊
You really free everyone from that imposter syndrome. I frikin love you and appreciate all your videos, you always make me feel not alone in this journey, thanks America!!❤️
I couldn’t help but tear up because when you went on your mental health rant, I FELT THAT. I want to go to med school so bad, yet feel like my anxiety will forever hold me back from succeeding. Anyways, wishing you amazing days ahead and ty for following your dreams in spite of shitty moments. 🥺🥺🥺🥺💞
Hi America. I'm a medical student as well, and listening to what you mentioned about depression I couldn't help but comment (which I never do). I could relate sooo much about how you get used to the feeling of being not well that you don't realize you are going downhill until it is too late... I was in a really bad state by the time I opened up with my mom about it and it turned out that I was seriously close to putting myself in serious harm. So just wanted to say that it was really nice to see you open up about how you're feeling since I love all the energy that you have and would be really terrible to see it be eaten away. Anyways, LOVE your videos and hope we can continue seeing your positive vibe always!!!
What helps me when I'm feeling down is staying off social media 100% for awhile. You don't know how much it takes a toll on you until you back away from it for awhile. Love you, America
You bring tears to my eyes. if it wasn't for you i would have quit med school ages ago. Thank you you wonderful amazing person. We love you so much. You show that even though we go through moments when you just want to drop it all and walk away, we still keep pressing on and it's okay to not be perfect. I love you so much
I love you America! I too am a Med student and I can't stress it enough that how much you are helping so many of us. Thank you for being 'YOU'. Cheering for you from India!
I work in a hospital and really appreciate you being so candid about the importance of mental health. You're not alone in that I, too, am very sensitive and have to constantly be aware of where my state of mind is so that I don't go into a downward spiral. I hope you continue to make videos they're so useful and needed.
Totally resonating with your feelings as a third year.... and I'm feeling just as sensitive as you! Everyday I get influenced by what happens during the work day, what people say to me, what I did/didn't do well, etc. It can be so hard at the end of a long day. It's good to know a lot of us are dealing with this, so thank you for being open about it. I wish I had a solution, but all we can do right now is keep learning and not be too hard on ourselves! Give yourself some leeway and know that a lot of us are going through the same :)
You are actually the best. As strange as it sounds, I think we really all appreciate your vulnerability and seeing your not so good days, as much as we love seeing your great days... It's nice to see someone who has it all together (perhaps more than you even realize!) break down and have a bad day. I'm frequently that person who everyone thinks is *always* happy or *always* having a good day, and I'm sure people assume the same about you. Ironically, I was just talking to a friend of mine who is similarly "always" happy or has a "perfect life" about this just yesterday, and I mentioned your vlogs because even though she isn't Pre-Med, I felt like she could relate to seeing someone like you have a garbage day every now and again. I certainly don't wish bad days upon anyone, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has doubts or shitty days or cry fests or takes things too personally or (yada yada yada)... Thank you again for being so candid in this journey and for sharing such a personal part of your life with us! Again, it is SO refreshing to see a medical student who posts not just the good, but the bad and the ugly as well, and it's so important for us all to see how someone like you deals with it. If you can do it, we can do it.
Thank you so much for sharing your honest emotions on a public platform, it takes a lot of courage. And I'm sure, it will help A LOT OF STUDENTS watching you and going through the same thing. I've just finished my residency not long ago. I totally get how you are feeling. all I can say is that IT PASS. We are in a roller coster and yeah we might have a lot more "lows" than other, Trust me when I say that *the highs are worth it* :) !!
I love your vlogs because you totally are human. Other doctors who vlog show all of their studying, running around and doing these super cool doctor things. But you include your own thoughts and doubts, which is so reassuring to me honestly. I totally think other people feel the same way as you, and I might feel that way as well when I’m in a similar position later in life. I think the important thing is to realize that everyone feels that way at some point, so just take one thing at a time and feel the love from your support system :)
The way you put it all out so realistically makes all the difference. Can only say thank you, thanks alot for your frankness & all the best wishes for time ahead. You are an amazing person. Lots of love and care.
America, your beautiful and strong, and I love your smile and humor, keep focusing on your goal and don't let anyone get in your way. I love you so much keep making good videos and medical school experiences! P.S love you
I love your vlogs so much. I’m not a med student, but I am a nursing student. Being able to see someone be so real about life and how it’s like as a med student gives me motivation to keep going. Keep it up girl! You’re gonna be such an amazing doctor. ❤️💪🏻
Hi America. Pharm student here (and also a new subscriber!) I can relate to the feelings you’re expressing at one point in this vlog. My mom always tells me I am my own worst critic. Thanks for being so open about both your good and your bad times. Wishing you all the success in your medical endeavors! Remember: you’ve gotten this far. You can do anything!
Thank you America for being willing to expose your emotions and show that it is ok to FEEL. That was very mature of you and I hope this helps anyone out there, medical field or not, who is having a hard time or are just afraid to express their emotions.
Oh my god I just love your videos. You are such a lovely and great personality. I am not even a med student (I am a law student from Germany) but I watched every single one of your videos and always look forward to them. Virtual hug :* thank you for giving me study motivation and aspire me to work on my mental health.
I understand your struggle...going through it even at the age of 37 as a pre nursing student with a full time career and bills. It’s tough and I have to pull myself together. Love you America ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you for being you America, you truly inspire me and many others. And I just want you to to know you’re not alone and it’s okay to feel down sometimes just as long as you don’t stay there❣️
Growing up I have been very sensitive to the vibe and energy in the atmosphere, and it did brought me a lot wars inside myself, but then through a lot of talking and practicing, I started to learn how to accept all these parts of me even when they brought me pain. America, the moment that we accept these "dark" or "unexpected" parts of us, we will find much more light inside them. Love ya!
Thank you for being so real with us. A lot of med school vloggers I watch seem like they have such an easy time going through med school, but in reality they probably struggle sometimes too, they just don’t show it. Which makes me feel a bit discouraged at times because I don’t feel smart enough to be like them. I really wish everyone kept it 💯, so thank you for being so honest, and making me feel not so bad about having my struggles in school sometimes too... and I’m not even a med student, but trying to become one hopefully.
Babygirl you have come this far... Do not let anyone make you feel bad. I'm a sensitive person too and being in this "evaluation" phase kind of makes it impossible to NOT feel like ur in a fish bowl with all eyes on you. You have to remember how far you've come like I said, and realize how close u r to a achieving your goal and you just cannot let anything discourage or stop you no matter what! Keep going.. I am headed fr PA school and am still taking pre-reqs and it's difficult but I try to stay focused on the goal -no matter what. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing your insight on mental health and what you're going through, America. You are always so bubbly and funny on your vlogs, and people tend to forget there are other sides to a person. I'm glad you showed us this vulnerable side and it allows us to get to know you slightly better. I am also going through something similar, and its especially triggering as I am on my psychiatry rotation. At least we are all somehow going through stuff together. So please know that you are not alone! I hope you are feeling better these days :) xx
Transparency...is the main reason why I subbed to your Channel. I love it you vlog everything as it is, the good and the bad. You're gonna be an excellent Doctor in the near future!!
"Screw everything else and take care of yourself"....you have no idea how much that sentence changed my whole outlook today. This is why I always make sure to watch your vlogs😭❤️
girl you are a total boss! it's normal to make mistakes,you are a human! and it's normal to care what your professor is criticizing,this is very important to you and you wanna be the best. Just have in mind that it's ok to be sensitive,the world needs more people like us (me included!),you are doing an excelent job,and i'm sure that you wil be a excelent doctor we all learn with mistakes,not with compliments :)
Very raw very real I enjoyed watching this it shows your a human and it reminds us as people who are watching to A always ask our selves how we’re feeling and B always always be kind to other people because you don’t know why thier going through
I'm a BS Psychology student, and I'm taking this course as my pre med. And I have hesitations if I would continue on med school because I know it would be tough and I'm thinking that I can't survive it but thanks to America. She really inspires me a lot with her vlogs. Idk, after watching her vlogs not only watching it, cause her shared experiences really made me feel that if you're passionate to be a doctor one day, you CAN do it. Passion is the key 🗝️😊 thank you America hope you'll inspire more people ❤️
Your amazing, thank u for being so relatable. Cause I feel like that so often. I come from a family of depression and substance abuse. I try so hard to be fun, corky, bubbly etc which I am normally but I when I have a very hard week, feeling so low, I just hide it from ppl. Next thing I know I'm helping other ppl with their tears and pain, while hiding my own and not addressing my own issues. Its hard when u are a private person emotionally even tho i am very talkative in general.
america, I love that you talked about mental health! I definitely am not as observant or aware of my surroundings as much as you are, I truly wish I was and I feel like because of anxiety/depression I won't be able to make it to med school but I have a best friend who's always there for me, having a support system is honestly key in life.
You are cool. Everytime you feel stressed in your rotations or evaluations just think that you have worked so hard for where you are today, and there are so many students out there dying to get into medicine that may not. Keep going. You're amazing.
completely relate with your feelings of being mediocre, in my second year of nursing school and feel like a fail every time i come back from clinical placement lol. I think its normal because your learning so much new information at once and have so many expectations thrown at you. I think its important to remember that it takes a lot of trail and error and I''m 100% sure most med students must feel that way at some point. but looking at the big picture your third year med student your far from medicore and will always be
I always look forward so much to your videos America! I’m currently in first year of med shool, you’ve been an inspiration to me these past few months since I started watching you ☺️ I love your positive attitude and sense of humour 🌸
Be Strong America you"ll get out of any disturb💜 Pray to God and keep doing great. Don't forget that its ok to do good or bad..in the end we are all learning💜💜💜 Besoosss xoxo *from Honduras with love*
Your video is so true. Sometimes people probably think that being a medical student is a huge commodity, but it comes with a price. Yes we get up early, have to study, worry about what our attendings think of us/our evals/our limitations, & try to balance also doing things for ourselves. Don't feel like you are alone!!
I really love this vlog bc ur being so open about what u go through. I can completely relate to not realizing ur going downhill until ur rlly depressed. I'm considering medicine and bc I deal with depression and anxiety, but I've been hesitant to commit for fear of burning out. Ur vlogs inspire me to keep at it and believe that I'm capable despite the obstacles. Also ur doing gr8! ♡
I just wanted to say that I’ve been binge watching you for several weeks now and I really appreciate these videos! I’m in my senior year of high school and I’m getting very anxious for my future and wondering if I’m good enough for med school (which has been my dream since idek when) and you give me hope!! I love how real you are and how you show your ups and downs, it makes me feel like my dreams are in reach and that I don’t need to be “perfect” to attain them. Thank you :)
This is so relatable. I’m also a third year medical student in clerkship, and I definitely agree-it’s so easy to feel hurt by criticism, especially if it’s not something constructive. You’re coping so well! Self-care cures all :) you’re not alone! So many of my peers and I have alllll been there.
America l really adore ur videos it really keeps me motivated I’m a first year medical student and my current feeling is so down and l always trying my best so don’t let ur self down u can do it and by the way ur tears are so precious, so don’t cry my dear America
I am so proud of how far you've come since beginning MedSchool America!! You really inspire me to keep pushing through my education. I hope to be as positive and forward thinking as you one day and that i will be walking in your footsteps in the future.
I don’t know if it matters but I’m proud of you America, for being very concious about your mental health and admitting that you feel down sometimes. Take lots of lots of vitamins to keep you healthy and get eat good food that makes you happy. Good luck and love yaa 😁😘
You are so amazing... I'm in my final year of college and waiting on med schools to get back to me. It's such a hard time waiting to see what happens. Watching you and how you went through even the tough times motivates me so so much ❤
America I totally understand what you are feeling with mental health issues as my family is also the same. I used to be really anxious when being evaluated in nursing school. It is ok to feel down at times and sometimes it is really hard to stay positive no matter what you do. There is no shame in asking for help if you need it. You are such a kind hearted individual and no matter what area you specialize in you are going to be an asset to your profession. Stay strong ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing with everyone and being so open! Just keep taking it one day at a time girlfriend, and know that there's a lot of people who believe in you!
This sounds strange, but I usually only subscribe/ hit the bell icon to people I feel a strong connection with. Your deep rant immediately won my subscription. I'm so relieved to hear that I am not alone. I have depression and I feel mediocre at all times. You have all rights to rant and worry about just yourself, but you mentioned not being able to imagine how others without supportive peers could feel. I think that's amazing. It's not easy to still be considerate while going through these rough times where your mind is just beating you up and making you feel less than you are.
You are such an amazing person! I don't know why but, everytime I watch your video I feel like getting up and achieving my goals and stop crying about the things that go wrong in my life!
One thing I loveeeeee about you which stands out so much is you are genuinely yourself, your not afraid to be YOU, your not a fake, best vlogger ❤️🌹🌹🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌷🌷🌷🌷
thanks for your little depression talk. I like how you described everything you said in that segment. as someone who suffers from depression, everything you said was exactly what I do and have experienced. It's a good reminder to take care of ourselves! Thanks for another inspirational and genuine vlog! Keep up the fabulous work, you rock!
i love your videos. you are so real. so transparent. you don't flex like so many others in this field. i'm so proud of you. thank you for sharing and always keeping me motivated you are so relatable.
Same with your mental health talk. Just same. Self awareness and self talk are so important. I'm in a master's program and I have to keep myself in check whenever I feel overwhelmed/not good enough/grades aren't up to par despite hours of studying. My friend support system is great. I do if you're still keeping up with working out but that's my lifesaver, especially on test days. If I don't, I routinely have emotional breakdowns before tests and sabatoge myself. Take little breaks for yourself when you need it and get sleep where you can. You'll get through it. We'll get through it.
Thank you for being real, you are enough, you are smart, you are awesome, you are an excellent med student that showed up to learn.. stay blessed!... 🐈💞🙏👍🏥📚
This video is so inspiring! As an art major I understand what it's like to be inspected. Art can be very vulnerable, and when people make negative comments relative to a piece it can be really trying. I hope you know how far reaching you are. I really hope the best for you and your career!
Last week was my hardest in med school America. It was my first time having a bad feeling during school. I uploaded a quick venting video and I get why you do it! It has really helped me cope! I know how you feel when you just don't feel like you are "enough" ever. Keep pushing forward and keep making videos America. I like to share my feelings to show premeds the amount of work and pressure med students face everyday! You are awesome!
I love you America thanks for sharing. You have know idea how much I would love to be a med student so your videos inspire me to work really hard to get there 😘
I think the reason I love America’s vlogs so much is because she is so down to earth. She isn’t faking her attitude and she isn’t always smiling....what I mean by that is that she discusses her good times AND the bad ones... If I’m being completely honest, I think America is one of the most down to earth people. I think she should have so much more attention than all the people out there who are faking their attitudes each and every day
3 years later and that’s still more true than ever 🧡
America is one of the realest youtubers out there.
No not really in your opinion sure
Yea man love your channel too great incite into the med field.👍🏾
America, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your humor and your realness. Thank you for always putting on a smile even when things aren't optimal. You are keeping this Pre-Med sane and hopeful.
Depression and anxiety weigh you down sooo much, I used to be extremely anxious, finally starting to overcome it.
Shout out to everyone getting through their mental illnesses and stay strong to everyone still struggling!! *I believe in you* 😘
I feel like I developed? anxiety over the past few months and I don't know why but I am so anxious all the time :(
Honestly, I was pretty similar! Before my sophomore year in college I was more anxious than most but nothing crazy, but then sophomore year Idk I was full force anxiety, I never left my room, shut everyone out, it was terrible.
One thing that really helped me was just really talking to myself like "ok what is actually freaking me out, and is it realllly that big of a deal or is it just in my head" and reallllllyyy try your hardest not to care what others think, even if you do care, fake it till you make it!

You are a hero because you survived the biggest war on earth--the war within yourself. Wish you all the best, dear!
I think its great that you talk about mental health etc, its always good to raise awareness on those topics :)
America commenting on her scratched car door every 5 minutes is a mood 😂
Hi America,
Idk if you remember me, but I was the SAT Blue Book giveaway winner. I just finished the SAT (forever) and I would like to thank you so much for the book! The difference between my first test and final test was over 260 points-all thanks to you!

Lauren Nicole sameeee
Saaaammmeee, but I am a first year medical student still in the pre-clincal phase.
What is like your GPA.
Thank you for being vulnerable and for shining on a light on such an important topic.
America you are enough and your not mediocre in the slightest you’re literally the one person I look up too seriously a boss lady !!!!!
I love that you talked about mental health, I think it's a good reminder to all of us to take care of ourselves :)
No matter how bad you might feel just know that you inspired and still inspire me to go to medical school. And I understand what your saying I always dont care what people think but when I need to care im a little scared of the criticism but it’s life. It is great to see someone who feels like I do😊
You really free everyone from that imposter syndrome. I frikin love you and appreciate all your videos, you always make me feel not alone in this journey, thanks America!!❤️
America, you are not mediocre! You have an amazing and beautiful soul! You inspire me (us) so much! Sending lots of love from Portugal!
I couldn’t help but tear up because when you went on your mental health rant, I FELT THAT. I want to go to med school so bad, yet feel like my anxiety will forever hold me back from succeeding. Anyways, wishing you amazing days ahead and ty for following your dreams in spite of shitty moments. 🥺🥺🥺🥺💞
It's so reassuring & less lonely to someone go through the same exact thoughts and feelings as me lately, stay strong America! 🙏

My doctor: you need more hours of sleep
Me, when America uploads a video at 1AM where I live: 🤸🏻♂️🏄🏻♀️🏇🏻🏊♀️
You are actually the best. As strange as it sounds, I think we really all appreciate your vulnerability and seeing your not so good days, as much as we love seeing your great days... It's nice to see someone who has it all together (perhaps more than you even realize!) break down and have a bad day.

Watching America’s videos brings so much joy and peace to my spirit
The way you put it all out so realistically makes all the difference. Can only say thank you, thanks alot for your frankness & all the best wishes for time ahead. You are an amazing person. Lots of love and care.
America, your beautiful and strong, and I love your smile and humor, keep focusing on your goal and don't let anyone get in your way. I love you so much keep making good videos and medical school experiences! P.S love you
I love your vlogs so much. I’m not a med student, but I am a nursing student. Being able to see someone be so real about life and how it’s like as a med student gives me motivation to keep going. Keep it up girl! You’re gonna be such an amazing doctor. ❤️💪🏻

Thanks for being so open about both your good and your bad times. Wishing you all the success in your medical endeavors! Remember: you’ve gotten this far. You can do anything!
honestly shook that america has a regular sleep schedule during rotations
Thank you America for being willing to expose your emotions and show that it is ok to FEEL. That was very mature of you and I hope this helps anyone out there, medical field or not, who is having a hard time or are just afraid to express their emotions.
Also really glad you spoke about your mental health and down days!
Oh my god I just love your videos. You are such a lovely and great personality. I am not even a med student (I am a law student from Germany) but I watched every single one of your videos and always look forward to them.

Thank you for being you America, you truly inspire me and many others. And I just want you to to know you’re not alone and it’s okay to feel down sometimes just as long as you don’t stay there❣️
I love how you're so insightful of your emotions and the ability to recognize when you need self care. Always enjoy your vlogs!
Growing up I have been very sensitive to the vibe and energy in the atmosphere, and it did brought me a lot wars inside myself, but then through a lot of talking and practicing, I started to learn how to accept all these parts of me even when they brought me pain.

I really wish everyone kept it 💯, so thank you for being so honest, and making me feel not so bad about having my struggles in school sometimes too... and I’m not even a med student, but trying to become one hopefully.
Take care of yourself America, I know that your feature will be better than you expect! i love you and dont ever stop what you do!
Babygirl you have come this far... Do not let anyone make you feel bad. I'm a sensitive person too and being in this "evaluation" phase kind of makes it impossible to NOT feel like ur in a fish bowl with all eyes on you. You have to remember how far you've come like I said, and realize how close u r to a achieving your goal and you just cannot let anything discourage or stop you no matter what! Keep going.. I am headed fr PA school and am still taking pre-reqs and it's difficult but I try to stay focused on the goal -no matter what. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing your insight on mental health and what you're going through, America.
You are always so bubbly and funny on your vlogs, and people tend to forget there are other sides to a person. I'm glad you showed us this vulnerable side and it allows us to get to know you slightly better. I am also going through something similar, and its especially triggering as I am on my psychiatry rotation. At least we are all somehow going through stuff together. So please know that you are not alone! I hope you are feeling better these days :) xx
Transparency...is the main reason why I subbed to your Channel. I love it you vlog everything as it is, the good and the bad.
You're gonna be an excellent Doctor in the near future!!
"Screw everything else and take care of yourself"....you have no idea how much that sentence changed my whole outlook today. This is why I always make sure to watch your vlogs😭❤️
Thanks for always being authentic, you let us take part of your struggles and happy days and I’m just so glad about that!💕
You are so pure... I love what you do for the other people...and your smile is everything!! Go girl 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😍😊
you are my fave on youtube ! watching your videos brighten my day of studying hehe
girl you are a total boss! it's normal to make mistakes,you are a human! and it's normal to care what your professor is criticizing,this is very important to you and you wanna be the best. Just have in mind that it's ok to be sensitive,the world needs more people like us (me included!),you are doing an excelent job,and i'm sure that you wil be a excelent doctor
we all learn with mistakes,not with compliments :)
Very raw very real I enjoyed watching this it shows your a human and it reminds us as people who are watching to A always ask our selves how we’re feeling and B always always be kind to other people because you don’t know why thier going through
I'm a BS Psychology student, and I'm taking this course as my pre med. And I have hesitations if I would continue on med school because I know it would be tough and I'm thinking that I can't survive it but thanks to America. She really inspires me a lot with her vlogs. Idk, after watching her vlogs not only watching it, cause her shared experiences really made me feel that if you're passionate to be a doctor one day, you CAN do it. Passion is the key 🗝️😊 thank you America hope you'll inspire more people ❤️
Your amazing, thank u for being so relatable. Cause I feel like that so often. I come from a family of depression and substance abuse. I try so hard to be fun, corky, bubbly etc which I am normally but I when I have a very hard week, feeling so low, I just hide it from ppl. Next thing I know I'm helping other ppl with their tears and pain, while hiding my own and not addressing my own issues. Its hard when u are a private person emotionally even tho i am very talkative in general.
america, I love that you talked about mental health! I definitely am not as observant or aware of my surroundings as much as you are, I truly wish I was and I feel like because of anxiety/depression I won't be able to make it to med school but I have a best friend who's always there for me, having a support system is honestly key in life.
You are cool. Everytime you feel stressed in your rotations or evaluations just think that you have worked so hard for where you are today, and there are so many students out there dying to get into medicine that may not. Keep going. You're amazing.
completely relate with your feelings of being mediocre, in my second year of nursing school and feel like a fail every time i come back from clinical placement lol. I think its normal because your learning so much new information at once and have so many expectations thrown at you. I think its important to remember that it takes a lot of trail and error and I''m 100% sure most med students must feel that way at some point. but looking at the big picture your third year med student your far from medicore and will always be
I always look forward so much to your videos America! I’m currently in first year of med shool, you’ve been an inspiration to me these past few months since I started watching you ☺️ I love your positive attitude and sense of humour 🌸
America, I know that your feature will be better than you think and dont EVER stop doing what you do!
10:00 you are very genuine and I’m sure people at your work will see that I just came across your channel and I already see that from you.
I love that black zip up it looks so cozy!
Be Strong America you"ll get out of any disturb💜 Pray to God and keep doing great. Don't forget that its ok to do good or bad..in the end we are all learning💜💜💜 Besoosss xoxo
*from Honduras with love*
God bless your heart. You inspire me to go into the medical field!! Stay strong baby girl we love you !!
Your video is so true. Sometimes people probably think that being a medical student is a huge commodity, but it comes with a price. Yes we get up early, have to study, worry about what our attendings think of us/our evals/our limitations, & try to balance also doing things for ourselves. Don't feel like you are alone!!
I really love this vlog bc ur being so open about what u go through. I can completely relate to not realizing ur going downhill until ur rlly depressed. I'm considering medicine and bc I deal with depression and anxiety, but I've been hesitant to commit for fear of burning out. Ur vlogs inspire me to keep at it and believe that I'm capable despite the obstacles. Also ur doing gr8! ♡
I just wanted to say that I’ve been binge watching you for several weeks now and I really appreciate these videos! I’m in my senior year of high school and I’m getting very anxious for my future and wondering if I’m good enough for med school (which has been my dream since idek when) and you give me hope!! I love how real you are and how you show your ups and downs, it makes me feel like my dreams are in reach and that I don’t need to be “perfect” to attain them. Thank you :)
This is so relatable. I’m also a third year medical student in clerkship, and I definitely agree-it’s so easy to feel hurt by criticism, especially if it’s not something constructive. You’re coping so well! Self-care cures all :) you’re not alone! So many of my peers and I have alllll been there.
literally was in the middle of cutting vegetables and dropped EVERYTHING to come watch
America l really adore ur videos it really keeps me motivated I’m a first year medical student and my current feeling is so down and l always trying my best so don’t let ur self down u can do it and by the way ur tears are so precious, so don’t cry my dear America
I am so proud of how far you've come since beginning MedSchool America!! You really inspire me to keep pushing through my education. I hope to be as positive and forward thinking as you one day and that i will be walking in your footsteps in the future.
I don’t know if it matters but I’m proud of you America, for being very concious about your mental health and admitting that you feel down sometimes. Take lots of lots of vitamins to keep you healthy and get eat good food that makes you happy. Good luck and love yaa 😁😘
You are so amazing... I'm in my final year of college and waiting on med schools to get back to me. It's such a hard time waiting to see what happens. Watching you and how you went through even the tough times motivates me so so much ❤
Thank you for touching on this topic 💙 really makes me soooo happy and realize so much!
America I totally understand what you are feeling with mental health issues as my family is also the same. I used to be really anxious when being evaluated in nursing school. It is ok to feel down at times and sometimes it is really hard to stay positive no matter what you do. There is no shame in asking for help if you need it. You are such a kind hearted individual and no matter what area you specialize in you are going to be an asset to your profession. Stay strong ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing with everyone and being so open! Just keep taking it one day at a time girlfriend, and know that there's a lot of people who believe in you!
Watching you gives me strength.
you always make me reflect ( in a positive way) on why I came into medical school, and how the path can be bumpy yet rewarding every time.
This sounds strange, but I usually only subscribe/ hit the bell icon to people I feel a strong connection with. Your deep rant immediately won my subscription. I'm so relieved to hear that I am not alone. I have depression and I feel mediocre at all times. You have all rights to rant and worry about just yourself, but you mentioned not being able to imagine how others without supportive peers could feel. I think that's amazing. It's not easy to still be considerate while going through these rough times where your mind is just beating you up and making you feel less than you are.
Who else drops everything when America uploads a video 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
I love your videos and you inspire me to continue with my dreams and continue school! 💖
Your haircut looks amazing! Thanks for another great upload.
You are such an amazing person! I don't know why but, everytime I watch your video I feel like getting up and achieving my goals and stop crying about the things that go wrong in my life!
One thing I loveeeeee about you which stands out so much is you are genuinely yourself, your not afraid to be YOU, your not a fake, best vlogger ❤️🌹🌹🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌷🌷🌷🌷
thanks for your little depression talk. I like how you described everything you said in that segment. as someone who suffers from depression, everything you said was exactly what I do and have experienced. It's a good reminder to take care of ourselves! Thanks for another inspirational and genuine vlog! Keep up the fabulous work, you rock!
i love your videos. you are so real. so transparent. you don't flex like so many others in this field. i'm so proud of you. thank you for sharing and always keeping me motivated you are so relatable.
Same with your mental health talk. Just same. Self awareness and self talk are so important. I'm in a master's program and I have to keep myself in check whenever I feel overwhelmed/not good enough/grades aren't up to par despite hours of studying. My friend support system is great. I do if you're still keeping up with working out but that's my lifesaver, especially on test days. If I don't, I routinely have emotional breakdowns before tests and sabatoge myself. Take little breaks for yourself when you need it and get sleep where you can. You'll get through it. We'll get through it.
Thank you for being real, you are enough, you are smart, you are awesome, you are an excellent med student that showed up to learn.. stay blessed!... 🐈💞🙏👍🏥📚
This video is so inspiring! As an art major I understand what it's like to be inspected. Art can be very vulnerable, and when people make negative comments relative to a piece it can be really trying. I hope you know how far reaching you are. I really hope the best for you and your career!
Last week was my hardest in med school America. It was my first time having a bad feeling during school. I uploaded a quick venting video and I get why you do it! It has really helped me cope! I know how you feel when you just don't feel like you are "enough" ever. Keep pushing forward and keep making videos America. I like to share my feelings to show premeds the amount of work and pressure med students face everyday! You are awesome!
America don't cry. Stay strong and forget about those thoughts. You are a great person. Just believe in yourself.
I love you, you’re doing great... thanks for making me laugh and being happy!
I just freaking love you and everything you do!
Hope you feel better! Your videos motivate me so much, seeing you dealing with your weakness so well is so inspiring.
I love you America thanks for sharing. You have know idea how much I would love to be a med student so your videos inspire me to work really hard to get there 😘
you are so inspiring ❤️ thank you so much for your motivation i love you America !!
As a year one, you are goals. Lol I should also be studying for NBMEs right now but....anyway! Keep uploading girl! I love it!
America is literally my favourite studytube because she is sooooo real!!!!!
Your channel is so needed on youtube💛
