brenna ryan CONGRATULATIONS 🎈🎉🍾🎊
brenna ryan Congrats!!!!!
YAY! Congrats :D
congrats welcome to hell
make sure you start these boards and beyond videos right from the start and get on anki too. just like Rachel is doing, wish i did that in med school. Congratulations!!
"I need to eat because I'm pissed" subbed for good. Cause that's the most relatable content ever. 💛
I really wish if you can make a video about time managment (lectures .. lab .. gym .. study time)
I will try to discuss that in my next video :)
@@RachelSouthard thank you so much Rachel ♡♡
@@RachelSouthard link
Also a first year med student, and I'm cracking up at "who thought it was ok to discover all this?!" Too real!!!
RIGHT?!! like WHY
Man your going to look back at this as a doctor and thank the lord you got through it
Can u please do a video about Time Management in med school? 😄
“nobody cares and no one asked” lmfaooooo I’ve never related more to you laughing and crying at the same time
"Don't just study hard, study Rachel Southard"
this needs to be on a shirt LOL
@@RachelSouthard I would buy 50 of it lol
@@RachelSouthard merch 🌝
“ i need to eat bc im pissed” 😂😂😂 love her
Ahh medical students ..about to cry and throw up over an exam they did above average on lmao yikes ...but I know how it feels to study forever and still not ace and exam. You got this girl !
Then you didn't study the right way. Try a different strategy. Speaking from experience
Hussain Kachwalla you can study and know everything and still not do your best on an exam...it doesn’t mean you failed but you didn’t get 100. I studied hard for an exam I got an 87 on I was bummed not at the grade but because i studied ALOT. And the exam just threw me
@@hussainkachwalla6941 Not true. I studied hundreds of hours for organic chemistry, hired tutors, altered my study methods, etc and received a B in the course. Some grades are simply unobtainable for certain people in my opinion.
sfranklin10 i hate orgo :(( i’m currently in it
@@sfranklin10 that's true, you just try your best.The
Learning immunology in med school:
WHOA THAT'S CRAZY -----> I don't understand anything -----> I feel pretty good about this -----> I hate my life
100% me
Is it weird that I watch your videos before I study for motivation? Lol
Same!! About to start know, needed some input from Rachel first
I thought I was the only one😂😂
Nope, I do that so I stop complain8mg about a high school IB load. It's more than normal but completely manageable for now.
Same. I'm watching after flopping my exam. Gives me motivation to not give up completely
Me too sis
You low key look like Jennifer Lopez (J’Lo) so pretty
SHOOK EVERY TIME I SEE THESE TYPES OF COMMENTS WOW
Okay but I said that too!
Also another TH-camd named gaugegirl
@@RachelSouthard I was just talking to my wife how you look like both Jennifer Lopez and Angelina Jolie. Be confident. You are blessed with beauty. :)
The dendritic cell shoutout though 😂
Adnan A gotta give my boy some recognition hahahaha who am I.
I appreciate how vulnerable you are and how passionate you are as well. I love watching your medical school vlogs!
Yass m back! I was waiting for this all day long! Please don’t stop making these videos they are so motivating.
Loved it as always!❤️
Watching your studying techniques is so motivating !!! It’s my last year of undergrad and I’m pre med so seeing you be so real about med school being hard but staying positive about it is so reaffirming and appreciated !
I really love just jumping back to your old videos and watching them. There is something about them that I just don't get bored of them...and its so nice to see that you actually care and still react to your old videos :)
You are amazing!! Your videos are genuine and it will be worth it! Self motivation is key and you are more in than out! 💕
Highlight of the week per usual!!! Love that you show all of the ups and downs, even within the same hour! Watching you has really matured and given me a realistic expectation for med school. Thank you 😭
Can we all just acknowledge that the ending clips “okay bye” with the close up is the lost adorable thing ever and its now her thing in each video. I love it. Its so cute
You’re killing it, you’re my inspo! I watch your channel when I’m feeling unmotivated. I appreciate your content, and I hope you know that you’re a badass!!
Gabrielle Onken thanks girl!!!
i livveee for these week in the lifes. please dont stop this series. its the best thing everrr + so relatable 🤣❤️
its amazing that you are able to do all of this, and youtube. I know you said that you don't really watch TV and youtube is kinda like a hobby you really enjoy, but that doesn't change the fact that you are AMAZING for being to do it. Seeing you in medical school and KILLING it, makes me so happy. I love watching your videos and I look forward to them every time!
Animerulespeople Awh thank you so much. 😭😭 thank you. Seriously. I appreciate the recognition.
hiii! i just recently discovered your channel. I graduated med school 2 yrs ago but watching your vid is like visiting my past self but hey you will get through it. if i feel down because of stress i always look up to my seniors. IF THEY CAN DO IT I CAN!!!
so keep up the good work!
Hey girl! I'm premed (taking my MCAT in a couple months) and I just stumbled upon these AWESOME videos. I love you!!! Thank you for these vlogs and for keeping it real💕 I'm proud of everything you are doing!
Love your videos so much!!!
Needed this extra motivation to finish the week ❤️❤️❤️
“I was happy one clip ago and now I’m crying” is a mood
Thanks for posting these vlogs. Im in PA school so I feel like youre one of the only vloggers I can relate to lol.
I'm rewatching your old vids for the nostalgia and I wish I comment for past Rachel to see and let her know how much you've grown and accomplished in these 4 years wow
Glad to finally see a med school vlogging channel showing the "true" ways to study in med school haha. B&B really is the goat
I just found your channel and I’m so happy I did! I’m in my first year of PA school and it’s rough. You’re killin it, girl!
thank you for being so consistent and showing us the true bts!! love your vlogs ✨✨
of course girl!
I feel you girl. I studied biochemistry for 2 months straight and got a D. Pissed
ooo girl I had biochem, took one midterm failed it horribly, dropped the class and took a W, took the class again during the summer with a better mentality, and got an A+. YOU CAN DO THIS.
it's a tough subject.
“I need to eat because I’m pissed” yes girl same
The JLO of Med school 💕✨
I'm SHOOOK. I wish i saw what you see
I'm not in medical school yet... but these videos make me want to fast forward in time and start lol, you give me motivation to push through no matter what the situation is and be extremely productive. Thank you for uploading these videos your work ethic is out of this world a true inspiration keep it up !!! P.S you are gorgeous!!!
just seeing this vid now 4 hrs before my immunology final and seeing you study them as well i suddenly feel like i'm not alone🥺🥺
Little tip. Change the time on your phone to 24 hour time. It’s all we use at the hospital and if you get used to it now it’ll be easier for you.
that's such a great idea. I shall!
You’re such a great TH-camr and a amazing future doctor 💗
Ooh.
Listening to lectures on the treadmill.
That is a GREAT idea.
I am not studying Med although it was a path I once thought about! I am studying Psychology, however, I like your videos as it motivates me to work harder seeing how hard you are trying :) I have an assignment due on Monday and this morning I felt tired and I thought to myself "I can't do this"! Then I saw this video and first positive thing your video made me do was go on the treadmill and do some HIIT workout :) Then I came here to let you know how positive your video has been :) Now I am off to study and I am highly motivated :) Keep up with the videos and all the best with your studies...
You are so awesome! Every time I watch your videos it makes me want to drop whatever I’m doing and go study lol 😆 thanks for the motivation!
YAS I love hearing that. get it!
Hey, if u got into med school you CAN most definitely get thru this! :-) i know those mental blocks are tough to get over but u got the smarts!
"I'm already behind for this block and it's not even 1pm" - mood
You’re literally me when I get the notification of a graded exam 😂 I can’t wait to be pissed about medical school & not college anymore 😂❤️❤️✨✨✨
#womeninmedicine you got this girl!
Keep going strong, you're doing great it seems. Like most others here i'd love to see your time management and how you break down a typical day for yourself. Also, the scheduling seems very bizarre for medical school, can you explain this a little bit in the next video? Thanks!
I get so excited when you upload !!!!
you are literally my inspiration🤍 i cant wait to (hopefully) go to med school when I’m older!
oh geez i cant stop watching these vlogs
I totally support what you do you are so motivated
Good luck and keep up the good work 😊👍😄
I love these videos they’re so motivational idk how but thankyou❤️
Hi Rachel! I just started medical school as well so love following your journey
Rachel, I absolutely love your videos! I have been pursuing med school for quite sometime now, but the timing to apply is never right, but next year is my year! I just want to say your videos are life and I took an Immunology class during undergrad and you're right...no one cares LOL! Keep up the great work and cant wait to see more!
Awh
The mood change that you had is such a mood on its own lmao!! You're doing so well, you should be proud of yourself! I need to get used to being that good at time managing everything.
So many ups followed by so many downs !
I'm in nursing school and you're SO inspiring!
I was wondering how you're managing a long distance relationship during med school? I don't think I've heard you mention it, so if it's not something you want to talk about I understand :)
It's so crazy how schools vary in curriculum! I'm at OSM-1 at CUSOM and we're just finishing up block 1. We did cell bio/biochemistry, microbiology/immunology, anatomy, OMM, and clinical skills! Plus 2 pass/fail research and core competency classes. Very interesting to see how you're doing it!
I love your videos! keep up the hard work!
I relate so much to the wanting to vomit even after doing better than average on an exam. That was my whole experience in advanced physical organic chem.
Best videos to watch while making my homework!! 👌🏻❤️
Im 37 with a BA in language but i want go to medicine school do you think that im too old??
I'm not even in medical school actually don't have the urge to do half of any this but here I am binging on your videos
Hey Rachel! I love your videos they inspire me so much, especially since I’m studying for the MCAT right now. I was wondering if you could make a video dedicated to anki and how to make helpful cards because I’m struggling with how to use it lol
You’re so inspirational! I wish you nothing but the best in your endeavors!!
Signed - RN thinking about NP/MD in the future
Brittni Gregory thanks girl!!!
Get that NP OR MD IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT. 🤘😌
YOU CAN DO IT GIRL❤️
I’m in my final year of med school and the fact that they do not always test our knowledge is so relatable
Please remember that test result, the next time you have a test that you feel went badly. I'm hoping that will save you a lot of stress. Thank you so much for your authenticity, and this very helpful study video!
You make me feel motivated to study! 🥰
u re a real motivator hope everything goes well with u
Well edited vlogs! I'm a fourth year at your school and definitely felt the pressure the first few weeks. However, it will all click at a point and become more and more fun!
Thank you!
I’m still in my undergrad at USF, but your videos keep me inspired and moving forward towards the MCAT and med school!
hi! i’m considering usf for pre med, would you recommend it?
Keep kickin’ ASS!!!! You are a rock🌟 xoxo 💕 keep that motivation going! It will pay off! 😉
I subscribed last August! I think you were at 30K? I don't remember exactly but I was starting med school too. The world needs more people like you
7:45 me everyday. Such a mood.
Doing med-surg1, pharm, foundations and geriatrics in my BSN program right now, and while some weeks feel insane, most of the time I feel underwhelmed and bored. When I go too overboard on studying, I'll have an entire week off because of the lack of constant material overload. Med school has been calling to me, and I just can't shake it. Think this might be the kick I've been waiting for : )
"Now I can go throw up!" HA! I am not a med student but I feel this way when I submit writing pieces as a creative writing major! Felt this....
Keep the good job and don't worry about the exam the most important thing is to not let it crepes under your skin and Good luck from costudent in tripoli medical school
You got this! I started MS3 in June and it’s hard to be wrong all the time especially during pimping and to feel so inadequate (eg seeing consults and writing notes alone) after taking exams all of my life and generally doing well. I feel like we’re used to doing the best and it’s hard when everyone is the best in med school! Boards season is especially stressful and a mentally exhausting time so when that time comes don’t forget to take care of you!
Now the days are 12-16 hours and 24 hour call on the weekends so try to enjoy the first years!!! Also we had to be in professional dress all the time and for exams so it’s nice they let you wear scrubs! Although do you wear the white coat every day??? I wore mine maybe 5 times in ms1/2 for practicals but only in June started wearing it all the time lol. It’ll be worth it! One day you’ll get to apply all that memorization to the real world! Good luck!
ETA Lmao about the dendritic cells: “Here’s a gift....”
Traci Provins thank you for sharing!!! I’ll try my best to maintain good mental health (:
We only have to wear our white coat to lab.
7:20.... the epitome of being in medicine, super excited and happy one minute... to crying and questioning your whole existence the next😂
YES
“can we do undo it” lmaoooo
I am so in love with your videos!! I'm a nurse and just finished my application to medical school because I was so motivated by watching your videos!!
"It is what it is.. I need to eat, I'm pissed" 💀 a forever mooooood.
CAN'T WAIT!!!!
Hi Rachel! So random, don’t know if you remember me but I came across your channel looking for study videos LOL. This is awesome! Had to show some support.
Btw! I finally got into PT :))
Cabrina! Yes duh! :D i'm so happy for you!
🤣 “this is so cool !!” “I’m crying because this is so hard” me rn In nursing school I can’t even imagine how stressful med school is !
Love watching your videos! Best of luck to you! 😊
Thank you!
Yes Girl get that Anki on!
anki anki anki!
You're doing great!
So as someone that is going thru first year and that knows people in other schools that did it already. If I can give you and everyone else a crucial word of encouragement (an warning for those that haven't started). You are going to score low in at least one class. You have to remember that the amount of material is crazy and that every one has there strength and weaknesses. Don't get discourage if you get a C in a some classes, that is still a pass. Medical school is a marathon is a recollection of all your efforts in 4 years and at the end of the day you still get the same grade(title) and certifications as everyone else. Also don't expect to get an A on every class. The people that murder MD school like that are the exception not the rule. Just keep going forward, don't give up and you'll get there eventually.
Oof- Wednesday hit hard. Damn I felt that everywhere
❤️ my heart stopped when you looked at your test results too! I had a test today, hope it went well.... I have the same problems when I update my laptop also. I REGRET IT ALL THE TIME 😭😩😂
love you girl! Thanks for being so sweet always
do you have any advice for studying in undergrad? i have a genetics midterm coming up this week & i'm scared it's gonna kick my ass & i'm trying to find new/better ways to prepare. love your vids rachel!
love your videos, please keep them up
The way you talk about dendritic cells is I feel when I learned all that the liver does.
you seriously make my day hahahaha i love u
I am just so happpyyyyy
Love you videos!! Would love to see you do at least one thing for you each day.. you know? Like one thing that you force yourself to do for your mental health! ♥️
this is such a great idea
YOU GOT THIS
i hate having long labs after exams!
it's so much more difficult to get through lab.
“i needa eat bcos i’m pissed” what a mood ahhahah
You make me respect my doctor a lot more now.
