Hey all, here is a day in my life as a second-year medical student. This was the day before my Musculoskeletal/Derm exam. Hope you guys like it!
I feel like all I do is eat and Anki...
Who am I:
My name is Zach. I'm a second-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, entrepreneurship, and other cool things. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post either on CZcams or my website đ (zhighley.com/).
I write a weekly newsletter đ (zhighley.com/newsletter/) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Not a single person has unsubscribed from this list (yet đŹ).

Just came across your videos Zach and the production quality is just next level đ€Ż Really enjoyed this vlog!
I am a huge fan! Thank you so much for the comment - I draw tons of inspiration from your channel.
Yo!!! It was Kharma Medic
@@ZachHighley I M TOTALY AGREE WITH IT .. ITS LIKE WATCHING A MOVIE IN HOLLYWOOD . GREAT JOB ZACH
I watch your videos as well kharma medic, I watch Ali abdaals vids as well, they are all amazing and I hope you fulfil your ambitions and endeavours
The animation style is almost the same but I prefer kharma medics animation style and love the intro where you welcome everyone with the classic âwelcome to another doseâ. I am a first year medical student, I mean I was until I left Poland where I watched MA to MD vids and I had sent him an email regarding studies there and well it wasnât exactly pleasant in the pandemic so we abandoned it there and I am rethinking to studying medicine in India, I mostly made a regrettable decision but itâs one that could not be helped due to family affairs.
Every premed and medical student needs to watch these videos so they understand the real commitment required to be successful. Your videos are amazing. Keep them coming.
Thank you sir!
Agree wholeheartedly!
I'm watching this right now, in 4th year/tenth grade, to see if going into the medical field, psychiatry, is right for me and tbh these vids make me even more excited. The work seems though but worth.
@@nia_m_h_2334 Being critical, this video does not show you anything specific about studying medicine. You can have this routine and lifestyle in any other career, so it is not something you should be guided by.
@@sebastianvega298 ? It shows you the most important aspect, how hard you work. Medical school doesnt care about how smart you are, if you donât put in the work like Zach youâll get nowhere. Seeing that is more important seeing someone scroll through anki all day
The quality of this video reflects how much work went into it. Glad to have found this channel
Much appreciated!
Teacher : okay so tomorrow you will pass the exam
Me 5 sec before the exam : 4:35
omg Im not the only who does this to physically and spiritually absorb knowledge from books lmaooooo
Bro, before I saw your comment I dead-ass thought he was gathering his fallen hairs and putting them back onto his scalp.
Just got my confirmation letter to the Med school of my choice and CZcams recommended me this video. Amazing video that shows the commitment. Gave a sub :)

Ayyy LESGOO brother, u got this đ
@@aliabdullahrizwan6774 wow Mubarak hoo bhai AND amjad abro ko greetings dena
Wow! Congratulations
The first time I watched this video was last year. I was looking for some inspiration/ motivation to pass my medical admission test and I was very stressed and frustrated during that time. Now, one year later, Iâm rewatching it but in a completely different mood, I passed the test and Iâm so happy I chose to peruse this career â€ïž. Thanks Zach, you helped me so much. I wish everyone who is reading this comment good luck. Hugs from Italy!đźđč
Itâs so cute that he goes to bed with his bookđđ
4:35 when you realise youâve left revision to the last minute đđ©

Your channel is growing so quickly! A few days ago, you have around 6-8k subs, 5 minutes ago, you have 23k subs, right now you have 23.1k subs. Congrats! Love the content. :)) Subbed!
I love how you start the day by throwing your Step One book onto the floor and then end up falling asleep with it.đ
In all seriousness though, I just came across your channel and I really appreciate the content you produce. It shows that it is possible to live a balanced and productive life and I think that's so valuable! Thanks for posting this day in the life!
Why is CZcams recommending this channel to me now!?
We have very similar techniques.
Definitely subbed.

I've never engaged to anyone's channel so much amazing Zach đ I live through this entire blog
I love this â€ïžđ„ Could you do another vlog where you show a more regular day like not before a test, maybe one where you get to go to the gym and so on?

Thank you alot for your vedio. Lot to learn from you.
You have became my favorite now.
You honestly deserve way more subscribers for this quality content !! Thanks for the inspo :)
So happy I found your channel, currently binge watching your videos on my breaks during meal times đ but wow this was a day before your exams?!? Love how it's so well paced out and you weren't stressing about it at all. I guess that shows consistency at its best. Hoping to get there one day!!
Welcome to the fam!
Yep the day for the exam, thanks for the nice words
Happy to see the channel is growing up. Keep up the good work Zach!
Appreciate it!
Big respect to anyone in, or who has been in medical school. May your hard work pay off in a very successful and fulfilling career. â€ïž
You are amazing man and your editing skills are just superrrrrr hit đ€© really loving your videos!!
From this, I can tell you're really good at time management.. I keep procrastinating over studies that I get sick,...
Love the last bit of you sleeping with your STEP 1 book. Hilarious đ€Ł. Thank you for the video.
I'm never lonely when I have it with me - thanks for watching!
Hey thatâs so enlightening to sneak in to a med studentâs life! Def look up to you
Iâm not a medical student or even remotely interested in the medical field but youâre just such an inspiring person in general!
Your videos are insanely good. Love the editing.

Yoo, great vlog! Nothing better than pomodoros, working out, and more medicine. Hello from Texas!
he is mcdreamy
I hate you tube now for recommending your videos late. Great videos brother. Keep up the good work
Ive always had this idea that med students stay up till ungodly hours studying. Maybe thatâs not true, or it is and youâre just good at being a med student lol. Loved this video! Keep it up :)
I am that type of medical student that you mentioned đđđđ but!! I am trying to better myself haha
That IS true! At least for me đđ
Unfortunately it's true! I think he's an exceptoinal case!!! đ

Just came across your videos! Hello from a fellow Philadelphian! Non-trad pre-med hoping to be in your shoes soon :) great video!
I don't know if I love Philadelphia more or your channel đđ
@i don't reply back at times cz IDFC Of course he is, only Indians like Philadelphia because they can afford to live in the nice parts.
Your videos are amazing , good luck.
hey man! Former PCOM Master's student (I got into medical school elsewhere). Watching your vlogs makes me super nostalgic for Philadelphia! Missing center city and cynawynd so much rn.
Hey, yea I love Philly, hope to stay here for a while.

Videography & editing skills 11/10 đđŒ

Ah a world where you actually go to campus- I miss it so so much. Our uni has been on âlockdownâ since march. Getting that Zoom MDđ€Łđ
Hi, I'm interested in starting the process of improving my GPA, taking the mcat and starting med school before I turn 30....I'm 24 and living abroad at the moment before I start this process.. not sure if you answered this but did you take any gap years between undergraduate and medical school?

This just motivated me to study harder for the final push haha (2 days before step 1) đȘ
Omg Goodluck!
Thankyou for your video~ I enjoyed it! I am mature medical student and vodeos of other medical students enspire me to learn and _move on_ Thanks
Wonderful content. Wish u success in all your future exams.
Thanks!
I have never been so calm and happy the night before an exam. I must work on my habits.
Love your videos, I recently started vlogging my med school journey and you are really inspiring!!
And me as a medical student wake up in 11 amđ
I'm glad to hear it can be done
Found your channel glad to be the part of first 25k subs channel growing good
Love from india
Came across your videos ...(thanking my stars hihi) preparing for premedical exam of NEET in India ..your vlogs are so motivating ..keep spreading sunny days for us ..â€
Awesome video Zach. Could you please do a video on how to properly search for content in the Anking for non-US medical students? I know you mentioned in one of your videos how to look at tags and decide, but I'm having a hard time searching Anking for relevant cards. I hope this makes sense. Keep up the good work.
Hey, the best way to do it is to use a third-party resource (B&B, sketchy, pathoma) and then go to browse -> look at the sidebar -> and find that *tagged* third party resource. Then you just unsuspend those cards.
If you are unsure of school-specific content I would go to browse -> search in the search bar -> scroll down and then look at the tags -> one of those tags will usually be labeled to a third-party resource if you have trouble finding the content.
Just found your channel through your tweet of stats and it feels amazing.... Thankuâ€ïž
Nice video to show us how important it is to be perseverante and disciplined to obtain good results in education. Keep it up friend.God bless you.
You need more views. This video is so good.
Thanks!
Hey! I'm a medical student as weel, but a Brazilian one. I'd like to ask you something: when you run during your Pomodo's break, how long does that take? I like running too, but I feel lile it takes too long for me. So I'm afraid about may not studying enough because of it
Wow m8 really inspiring to watch your videos!
You're 'highley' inspiring!đ
Great video man đđœ Editing is top notch đ„
Thank youuu
What a quality of life you have
Your day is more productive than my week
this deserves a million views and subscribers
"But before that its clementime" I was just bummed I'm done watching Schitts Creek and now I I'm getting school advice from Ted? A dream come true.
Hey Zach! Awesome video production. Do you edit your own videos?
Oh somehow I feel stress Free thanks to you!
your video is amazing â€
Sir you are really amazing... Keep going dudeđ
How many anki cards do you do each day please? I have a lot of subjects and I'm setting 20 cards each, ending up with about 220 cards a day with all assignments and making flashcards.
We require more of this content
I like watching your videos. They have a therapeutic quality to it. Hard to explain.
Maybe itâs the Lofi music. Lol
Wondering what time you actually end up going to bed and what time you wake up? How many hours per day do you sleep , on average?
