OKAY! Please read this! (and the description box for all the goodies)
I need your help!
1) First off, happy new year! I would love to read your 2021 Resolutions down below :)
2) I would love to hear your thoughts about this vlog! Did you enjoy the length, the pace, the fun facts, what I showed you?
3) What do you want to see in 2021 from my channel? (include length of vlogs, what you'd like me to discuss, more study videos, etc.)
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 highschool senior and watching these videos keep me motivated to keep working towards my goal to become a neurosurgeon.
I was going to be a Neurosurgeon too, now I have a wife and kids and will be the happiest Pediatrician ever hahah. Life style may not be worth it as you get older, but im sure you know that.
Please don’t ever be mean to your nurses. A lot of physicians can be rude to their nurses & I work in labor & delivery as a PCT & it’s so sad to see that happening. Nurses are there caring & watching for YOUR patient. Giving meds, starting IVs & etc. Be kind & appreciative :) I’m not saying you will be a rude physician, but I see it constantly. Forever grateful for you Rachel!🤍
I would never be mean to anyone!
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.
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.
I would love the videos to be 15-20 minutes! That’s my favorite length of video but I understand it’s hard to get that much footage with your schedule. I love the vlog style but something I’d like to see more of is FOOD! A what I eat in a week would be great, or just a grocery haul included in the vlog. One of my only resolutions is to reduce food waste. I am a vet student and just cook for myself so it’s just hard to make meals for one with such a busy schedule! 😘
“Didn’t get up early, I woke up 7:23” omg that’s pretty early😂
My goals are to get organized, prioritize my health, and make straight As in nursing school!
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
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!!
Rachel you have no idea the effect your videos have on me. I am addicted,sometime i feel like doin absolutely nothing but then i watch one of your vlogs and get super motivated and end up doin a lot of stuff. Thank you so much
🥰
Hi Rachel, ru a doctor now that you finished and passed your board exams?
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 :)
I can really see that learning all these structures makes you look at the world differently
Thank you so much for being honest in your vlogs and showing your ups and downs. Not many medical school CZcamsrs do this
You know you're going to be a good doc when you start relating gross medical things to food! Made my day LOL
When are you coming out with merch?!! Need it for this new year!! Love you Rachel 😊
My New Years Resolutions, they may change
-Start working out, not to lose weight but to gain muscle
- Start a CZcams 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😁
just like this one! 15-20 minutes, a lottt of exciting fun facts, and i love those little bits of everyday life of cleaning, cooking, working out or stretching out, studying, breaks... its so relatable, inspiring, and relaxing!
1. I love a 15 minute long video, feels like the perfect time
2. I also love your footage when you go out like hiking or just drivin around
3. Honestly just footage of you studying like a time lapse, it makes me so motivated, Im like “If Rachel can, I can to”
Lots of love ❤️
You sounded like Amelia Sheperd on that "It does not look like spaghetti" 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!
this is probably one of my favorite vlogs, it has a good balance of ur lifestyle & med student stuff
Can you do a self-care, pamper day or drop a skincare routine, you have amazing skin!
i love it when you drop fun facts and share what you're currenlty studying. It's interesting and good repetition!
The more medicine in your blogs the better. Thanks for sharing (love your videos)!
Please make a video on how you prepare for an exam,that would be really helpful
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!!! 😊
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
iam so happy to have the brave and positive people in my life like you i hope i do my best to build my future better like many strong peopla like dear rachel southard
I really like the 15-20 min length. I also love the fun facts and you showing study time lapses or talking about it just because it's motivating for us too!
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 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 ??
watching u writing is just so satistying
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!
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
You are dope!
I can't imagine handling being a medical student and managing a CZcams channel side by side.
Loved this vlog! ❤️ And all those med points refreshed up my memories 😅
Stay safe.
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 am also in the GI block! But my school does physiology and pathology in one year, so I'm learning it all at once!
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!
I appreciate when you do document your lows then bounce back because it helps me push through 👍🏼
I loved this video!!! You literally inspire me to do better. I actually got a D on my first semester and I felt like a failure. But I realized that was on me and the thing I need to change is my study habits and I still have 3 more years to go until med school. So my new year resolution is just work hard and if it doesn’t work out than it’s fine because at least I tried. You made me think positive of every outcome because of your content. They are so realistic. And I love you!!
I have so much respect for you, and many others like you.
BEST of LUCK for your upcoming 3rd year , specially pathology , I think note taking is waste of time as it's just passive and time consuming .
Hope 2021 is New start for all of us .
Thanks!
I enjoy notetaking and it helps me. If it didn’t, I wouldn’t do it. Everyone studies differently :)
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 🥰❤️
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!!
I needed a trigger warning for the knuckle cracking 🤣
You should do a pre-med journey video! I'm curious about what you did in undergrad & after that! We love you Rachel
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 ❤
🥺💕
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.
Rachel!! I just wanna say that I really appreciate you taking your time and effort to continue making videos. You literally got me through 2020 thank you!!!
Whenever I need motivation to finish school work I always find myself watching your videos and getting started!!! Thank you for keeping me going ❤️🥺
My goal for this year is to read more (reading challenge of 50 books) and to actually keep up to date with my notes and not have to catch them up the 2 weeks before my Med exams. Year 2 looks like it’ll be even more stressful 🙄😊
I love your blogs and it’s reassuring to see that we are all finding it difficult but are still fighting through! Thanks for being such a motivation 🥰
I love your honesty! Not everyone is willing to share the bad along with the good, and I think a lot of people will agree with me that we appreciate the fact that you do. Medical school is not easy, and it’s important for prospective applicants to understand and see that. Kudos! :)
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. ❤️
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 :)
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!
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
I love watching your videos, both of my parents have covid so it’s a great distraction :)
I hope they have a speedy recovery!
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)
I was just watching that boards and beyond module. We are in this together Rachel!
I don’t have any critiques for this vlog. :)
I’d like to see more Q&A’s, studying, and organization. For example, how do you keep everything organized on your computer in terms of notes, lectures, and miscellaneous stuff. I would also like to see more of your experience with editing stuff for CZcams. I’m just now getting into being a creator on CZcams and am very interested in how you edit everything so well. :)
I really enjoy you incorporating what you learn into concise segments in your vlogs! Best of luck this year :)
Ive been watching you for such a long time. Your confidence has increased to much i am so proud of how far you’ve come
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😅)
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 :)
the longer the rachel videos the better!! yew
Absolutely, in love with the style and treatment of the vlog ❤❤.
Carry on !!
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.
❤️
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 am soo happy on how much you have progressed through this journey. I love your channel and your personality, and I wish you the best this year💜
Loved when u mentioned what u were learning and how to diagnose it. Also loved u mentioning the worm. Super cool stuff!
Also, sharing the study strategies u learn to optimize learning the most would be amazing
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!
We appreciate that you share your personal experiences with us😍..
Good luck on your boards,by the way spaghetti...
Your videos actually make my day:)
Dang I love her cup collection.
More study timelapses please. Really enjoy them and are so motivating. Love your channel
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 eat Quest chips, they're a great alternative !! I recommend if you haven't tried them yet.
the finger cracking compilation... soooo satisfying
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!
I have just started to subscribe your channel and thank you so so sooo much for your effort, I really love your content and the energy you give
i want to watch your vlog throughout the life. i like to watch it very much... sometime i feel very bad and exhausted about life... but after watching your vlog i feel very good... i want to see you as a best doctor..... love you so much.... and thank you for becoming my unknown friend...
i am preparing for med school in India, and we Dont hate you anywaays, WE LOVE YOU, no matter what!!!
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 😊
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.
Being happy and positive is contagious.
My new year resolution: Just please pass first year of medschool please me DO IT
i feel that on a spiritual level
You're so genuine !! Love your videos Rachel! Sending love from Atlanta
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 :*
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
appreciation time: idk if you got a new camera but the quality of the video was SO GOOD
I didn’t! It does look nicer this week though
I loved the length! Every video I watch I’m like “aw it’s already over?” But this one was perfect length.
For future videos I absolutely love the fun facts about what you’re learning, they are so interesting and informative!! Love your videos!!
2021 resolution: balance life and grad school. I started last fall, right in the middle of Covid and I’m in school for Epidemiology. All this covid stuff really makes me anxious, so finding ways to burn off some anxious feelings would be awesome. How do you deal?
I’d love more science facts. I loved the info on the ligament, super interesting! I guess just a little of what you’re learning?
When you will go back to school, make those vlogs.. love seeing you at school! 💕
I love longer vlogs (15-30mins) and a mix of lifestyle and medical info! More medical (like the fun facts) would be great (:
Ooh I can’t wait! The trailer is great btw!
This year I'm 15 y/o my dream is to be surgeon so I need motivation to not give up😃✌🏻
u got thisss!!
