Thank you all so much for hangin out with me. I look forward to chatting with you guys in the comments!

Leave any questions you have below this comment thread for next week’s video!!
Rachel Southard what are you majoring in ?
Can you explain the system that you have in your "plan" (idk what to call it) that you showed at around 9:55 in this vlog? 🥰 Like the color-coding and stuff like that? I really need to make something similar to get through this semester and pass my exams in economy 😄
@@owenburke3145 She's not "majoring" in anything you only have majors in undergrad. She's a medical student :)
@@helleolsen3120 I'm pretty sure she did already in another video I'm just not sure which one... haha sorry!
Rachel Southard how many hours do you study every day? Hows your leisure/me time like? Netflix? Books? Partying? How do u manage
They´re not repetitive, we love them!!
Agreed
Amazing skin? Always has a smile regardless of the struggles? Smart? Inspiring?
WISH U WERE MY DOC!
OH STAWWWWP. I'm blushing
Jasmeen Singh not to mention her white teeth
That are progressively turning more yellow with each pot of coffee LOLOL
rachel’s little speech after seeing her test results made me cry. she’s so motivational and inspiring I love her and this channel so much!! she really gets me through college/nursing school
okay I'm SO in love with these vlogs. I'm a junior in undergrad currently, and whenever I lack studying motivation for anything, I always watch these and it puts me right into place 😂
Rylee Shahan dude same
SAME.
same here haha
Same except I have ADD so it's 10x more difficult 🥺
Love how positive she is, even when life gets in the way I love seeing that.
Finally got accepted to medical school.
i am starting school soon, and you have inspired me to get into a healthy routine before starting so i can learn that much better.
Your dedication to studying also makes me feel amped up to study hard.
So glad you shared about your past feelings of not being smart enough and how you overcame that.
You made me feel even more confident and believe even more than before that i can do this.
Thank you so much.
I love when u add little piano clips in
I love the guy came out of nowhere and was like "wanna join music for medicine?"
Hahah! I was like uhmmmmmmm...are your ears not burning from my piano playing
Your little speech at 4:46 - 6:12 give me more confidence to go to vet tech school!! ❤️ I feel the same way my whole life!
I heard vet school is harder than med school too. 6 species!
RIGHT?!
This was gold
I have rewatched that so many times 🥰😇
I swear you are like my actual role model. I’m only a sophomore in undergrad but I wanna go on to medical and you motivate me like everyday.
Ally Browning I’m in the same position too!!! She’s so motivating and so positive and I love it!!!
Honestly these videos are the highlight of my sad boring student life
Melyta55 my exact same situation lol
Good to know were all on the same boat.
It’s not boring.
I’m in nursing school (very different I know) but watching your vids definitely gives me motivation to study! keep it up girl
It's that different ultimately you're still helping people in the end.
I’m in nursing school too!! Just like you said, watching her vids gives me SO much motivation and puts me in a happy mood. Good luck with school 🤗
Leah Carter I’m in school for teaching and I watch her to stay motivated lol
I love how you can post these videos and still stay on top of your work! You are a force of nature and I hope you still keep making vids on this channel!!!!
Currently at Starbucks studying for my PTA license Exam, I watch your videos during my 10min study breaks. Literally motivation for me. Thanks for the Vlogs! Love them! 💛
Good luck in school your amazing and all your dreams will come true
I honestly related to this vlog on such a personal level and I thank you so much on your transparency on how you always didn’t have good grades and how we just should never give up. Seriously thank you!
you are legit the sweetest person ever! I am so glad your channel came up on my recommended today. I am obsessed with your vlogs and thank you for giving me extra motivation today :)
I have been silently following your journey here and you had me crying right along with you. So happy for your successes, present and future ♥
Can I just say: thank you so much for sharing that! I’ve been having the same mentality for a while and found something I really want to do but haven’t felt “capable” because of the past. So this was such a motivation. Love from Chicago!
I love these vlogs, you are awesome and so glad you're honest about your days and showing us what its like!!
Love your videos! I’m also a first year and had the same mentality in high school and college. Glad to hear your hard work is working out and definitely motivated to keep grinding for my next exam after watching this video 🙌🏽
I'm going back and watching your past vids. I can TOTALLY relate with that struggle with thinking I am unintellegent. I felt that way until I decided to pursue a MS in Nutrition and now I'm back in school to get a second degree in dietetics and I am thinking PA school in the long term. I am impressing myself every day and I think finding your passion can make all the difference. You go girl! YAY FOR FINDING YOUR PASSION AND YOUR THING!
You just gained a new subscriber! I love your spirit! Your motivational speech made me cry a little as I am applying for residency this year and people like you inspire me to continue pushing myself! Thank you!
Got one of your videos in my recommended list - wishing you all the best luck! You'll definitely feel like you're just learning so much and at the same time nothing at all but trust me, it'll pay off! I felt that way in my 1st year too, now in my 3rd year you find yourself remembering the weirdest things/feeling like you can understand everything better. 1st year is definitely the toughest but it keeps getting better from here on out!
Rachel you’re amazing! I absolutely love your videos. You are so real and genuine . You motivate me so much!!! Have a great day!!
You are just AMAZING! Keep going 💪💪💪 you're the best. I really appreciate your perseverance ❤
I absolutely love these vlogs, and they don't feel repetitive to me.
You are really inspiring and so so real! I’m really happy you felt realised after the exam/test and hope you do the rest as well as this one 🙌🏻♥️
Hey Rachel, I'm a premed undergrad student and I wanted to tell you your videos help me realize and remember the kind of culture and mindset I need to have to get to med school and I love these vlogs and your positivity!!! I really think your mindset and ability to tackle things head-on is suuuper contagious and I love it!! Keep it up!!!!
I’ve felt the same all my life too! I’m currently a kinesiology major and am hoping to get into DPT school. I wasn’t really trying in the beginning either but I’m getting it together, so hopefully my dreams will come true! It’s amazing to see where you are and how hard you’ve worked to get there and it’s really inspiring to me. I think you’re going to be an amazing Doctor and thank you for letting us follow you through your journey! 🙌
Always get excited for another video!
I just want to thank you for this videos, we all know med school is hard! so you making time to share content with us is amazing! you motivate me everyday and you are gonna be an excellent doctor
I love your weekly vlogs so much
I want a video every week until you graduate 😊😊😊 LOVE YOU
Haha yes please!
Lauren S that’s a little bit excessive
YASSS Lauren! I'll try my absolute best to :D thank you for enjoying them!
Rachel Southard We enjoy them too! Don’t ignore our comments. We want you to have mental stability.
@optimisticview It’s an obvious exaggeration, just for her to know how much we love them.
I love you 😭 you’re pushing me through this year with mcat and upper level classes
I'm actually not looking into being in the medical field, but I am in undergrad and love watching your videos. And they just give me insiripation for when I go to law school, and I know those are two different directions but I also just love watching your videos! And another side note, you got this!
You are the best motivation because you are so genuine. You are going to be a great doctor!!!
your hardworking vlogs inspire me so much especially because I might pursue medicine as well but like pls don’t stop making them❤️
Hi Rachel, I just wanted to say how much I APPRECIATE YOUR VLOGS!! I’m not in med school YEt but your work ethic is the level I need to be at :) thank you for the motivation lol
I love how you say « I’m so happy » 😭❤️
I just found your channel recently but I love your videos. I’m pre nursing currently and your dedication inspires me 🙂
Love these videos! You are so inspiring. I am currently in the med school application cycle and I am freakin out over the silence, no interviews yet and applied early. But your videos always give me hope! Keep them coming!
You have such a healthy mindset! I love these videos sooooo much!! ❤️❤️
In love with your vlogs! Keep going Rachel you got this! ❤️

Amy Bailey Red Bull 👌🏼
You give me motivation and inspiration! Im currently a bio major (pre-med student) at ucr so thank you! I watch all ur videos❤️❤️ so thank you!! You are incredible!!
You are such a big inspiration! Really thank you for sharing a bit of your life❤️
I love these chill videos! Keep them coming. I've been wanting to start my youtube channel for 3 years now but I am so embarassed lol you give so much hope and inspiration xx
From a current overwhelmed PA student to a current overwhelmed med student: we got this!! Also curries are the best meal prep ever because you literally throw it all in a pot, add curry mix and coconut milk, and simmer. I make a bunch at once and it’ll last me a week or so. Plus you can put in tons of veggies to get those nutrients in! Love your content 😊
Thank you so much for your videos!! I am starting medical school this summer, and you are getting me so excited and motivated for the future.
You are going to make such a compassionate and caring doctor ahhh I’m so excited for your future!! I love love love these vlogs. I’m studying mechanical engineering and find myself watching med school vlogs to help keep me motivated! Thank you :)
yelyah cents me too!! I’m Bioengineering tho but medicine vlogs helps..
You’re such an inspiration!!! I’ve always felt dumb & not capable of doing much. Especially because I suck at math! Each time I watch your videos I get the urge of wanting to do more with my life, thank you so much & keep up the good work!!! Can’t wait to see you grow on CZcams 💗
yes yes YES!
Be waiting for this all day!!
Keep doing these videos!! I love them so much!! 💕💕
I LOVE these videos! Please keep making them. You’re so cute and interesting to watch and you working motivates me!
you are exactly what I aspire to be ❤️ thank u so much for normalizing working hard. as a premed I always feel better after watching u.
Ah you’re so inspiring. This video is what I needed today.
LOL sis, I remember when you said it was your goal to go to bed around 10 PM and now you’re up until 4 AM
Victoria DiGiovanni omg samme I was remembering that
RIGHT?!?! Aint that the tea.
I love your videos Rachel! I love your “Ted Talk” that was very inspirational and thanks for reminding me that!:) you’re amazing and thanks for the videos!:)
I love your videos! Keep rocking girl, I’m a paramedic student so I can relate to a lot in your videos, so nice to see
Holy shit u are blowing upppp.... I'm joining med school this year and ur vids are literally inspiring me to work hard... Pls don't stop with this series... thankyouuuuuu❤️❤️
first year grad school student here! thank you for your encouragement because I feel so TINY in my program! we can do this!!!
Thank you for sharing. I think your “Why?” is awesome. You will become an amazing doctor.
I was going to take a nap, but you motivated me to study. I want to work hard and see those results. My first med test is in October and it’s taking everything in me not to stress out
Once I realized how to study and stopped telling myself I wasn’t smart, I was SO surprised how well I could do! I am the SAME WAY GIRL! WE DID THIS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love your videos. I too always that i was dumb, that i would never achieve anything.Always doubted myself. Got threw college barely, long story short im attending medical school next year. My family consists of 4 medical drs, they always put me down that i would never amount to anything. I worked my ass off to prove them wrong. So your videos really inspire me. Thank you for sharing your story.
Hi Rachel! I have really been enjoying your videos. I just got accepted into chiropractic school the other day and I start fall of 2020. Your vlogs are really inspiring me and getting me excited to start my journey as a student doctor! I always felt like the "stupid" one too. I have to work very hard for decent grades so you are really inspiring me !!
You inspire me!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos ❤️
You remind me SO much of myself. I was so doubtful about myself, C student throughout high school, and people laughed at me when i pursued a bio major in college. But i put SO much time in every day and ended up graduating magna cum laude. I relate to you so much, every time i saw a great test score in hard courses like microbio or human physiology I’d just cry my eye balls out in amazement lol. Our brains are capable if we tell them they are. You’re going places and i totally relate to you 100%❤️ and just like you, i always have my coffee or tea next to me during studying! We’d totally vibe!!! You’re incredible !
Loved you Rachel for your tedtalk ...much needed right now as I am preparing for Indian medical residency entrance tests
Always look forward to your videos!
Your videos r the only thing keeping me motivated!!!!!
Omg yes another video! I clicked on it so fast you don’t even know
And I absolutely LOVE these vlogs I have even watched some of them like 5 times over lol
I love the message you give in this one!! YOURE AMAZING 🥰
Thank you love!
Awesome video! I am a big fan!👋🏼
Keep the good work! You’re awesome and you can do anything! 👍🏼
Instant Pot is AMAZING for effortless and quick meals! I'm in Pharmacy school and have been using it so much for meal prep! 8 chicken breasts done in 13 minutes cook time and perfect for pulled chicken meals :). Soups, pot roasts, rice, sauces are all so easy. There are so many recipes online, and so many instant pot cookbooks out there!
I'm in Canada and they often go on sale at Best Buy for like $75CAD.
these are so awesome!! they give me motivation!!
You’re amazing and you’re going to make a wonderful doctor
you have inspired me a lot, im 13 and im studying, reading articles and writing my own. and am going to take multiple online biology and anatomy class so thank you!!
Your channel is growing so fast! Congratulations💕 I'm proud to say that I was here from the beginning
Ed: I cried during the Ted talk, please PLEASE do it more times!
AWH
5:15 this is so relatable!! i’m a high school student(10th grade) and only now,at quarantine i got my life together and realized that i need to study.now i study 9 hours minimum(ik this is so unhealthy,but this is the only way to succeed),because i am not a native english speaker i live in Azerbaijan,i prepare for medical university here,and also started learning in english,because i really want to enter medical school in us.
p.s thank you so much for inspiring me!
6:04 as someone who wants to become a physician but am not to great at studying I appreciate the honesty
5:00
I hate myself for slacking off almost the entire year . Now finals are in 2-3 months and I don't know anything . Thank you , I'll get to work now .
What you said about if slacking off will benefit my future patients really hit me . I can't be a doctor like this .
Your videos are totally awesome Rachel! :D
congratulations your so capable love watching your videos
You are motivating me right now !!! Also, would u be able to talk about how you do your study schedule ? I have been having trouble with that and your system looks like something I'd like to try!! Thanks
I soooo feel your frustration - we literally spend 8am - 3pm almost every day of the week at uni, even the week before exams and i agree it is VERY frustrating and time consuming. :) med life.
That motivation talk at 05:00 ! Ilysmmm 😍😍😍😍❤️
i let around 30 lectures pile up to study eventhough I'm in premed and the fact that you finished 37 lectures gave me the motivation boost I've been looking for
your videos always make me happy 😊
Love this video so much ❤️❤️❤️💕
Lemon pepper chicken saves me time when I cook a bunch of it at the beginning of each week 😃
Chicken thighs seasoned with lemon pepper seasoning, olive oil, salt and pepper, some lemon and lime juice. Marinate a batch in the seasoning for an hour or over night. Bake in a 400F oven for 30 minutes covered in foil, then I usually bake for an additional 20-30 min with the foil off to crisp the skin. Voila! Lemon pepper chicken. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
It’s cheap and easy to make. You can even use chicken breast if you want it to be healthier. Thanks for motivating me to work hard in school! Really inspiring 🙂
Here for some daily inspiration! Thank u!
Procrastinating studying for my block 1 final as I watch this lol. Your pep talk made me get back to it!!
Rachel, I look forward to these videos every week, "If Rachel got through this week, I CAN! C'mon Delia!"+ you reminded me I need to get groceries.. also was in the same situation for healthcare, I had to get it at my uni.
Delia you're so sweet. I always look forward to reading your comments.
I'm usually a quiet type and dont comment but I wanted to say I enjoy your videos. The encouragement you shared about feeling like an idiot really helped.i always wanted to be a nurse but I didnt do well in high school math and such and figured I was just to stupid to go for nursing. So I got my bachelors in psychology then got my masters in psychology and have been really unhappy in life. I decided to just go for it with nursing school. I started my prereqs a couple weeks ago. I'm going for my ASN because I cant afford to get the BSN right now. I've been studying hard for my classes and also think about it as how important it will be for my future patients. I specifically want to be a hospice nurse and really want to help create a hospice for the homeless in my area. Sorry for such a long comment but I want you to know I love watching your videos.
These videos are the best 💕
