    Although I vlog my weekly life, you don't actually see a standard routine of my day/week. So here it is! This is what my life is ACTUALLY like.
    Also, secret: I created a separate instagram account for random photos and behind the scenes goodies. Go follow it (@rsouthardarchives).
    Exercise of the day: If you could travel to one place in the world at this moment, where would you go?

      If i could travel to one place in the world it would be Switzerland, it is so beautiful and seems so peaceful 🥺 + i really want to go on the toboggan ride 🤩

      The Account is private I sent a request. I would love to travel to a place where I can be surrounded by natural or to a Medical school to start my journey.

    I guess I'm officially part of the Herd, I've never actually set a youtube reminder before LOL. Using this hour to study hardcore, then my reward is The Rachel Show. And coffee with caramel!

  • @Sara-hj7en
    @Sara-hj7en Před 3 lety +9

    As someone who’s studied and wanted to be a med student since elementary school, this was comforting because my biggest fear about pursuing a med career is having absolutely zero time to do anything. It’s cool that you’ve found a good balance.

  • @lindsayhartje6678
    @lindsayhartje6678 Před 3 lety +18

    Sleep is shown to help consolidate memories, so that's my excuse for napping after lectures! Medical school online is tough for getting fatigued. I've definitely been drinking more coffee than usual too. Your "study with me" videos help keep me on track though!

  • @lilgreenbeany7122
    @lilgreenbeany7122 Před 3 lety +52

    This has officially made my day!!! You have reignited the fire in me and kept me motivated on my pre med journey. I’m extremely grateful for you and your videos. It’s helpful to see that someone else also has their good and bad days! Keep doing what you’re doing and I’m happy to be apart of the herd!!!

    @mackenzievandoorn5861 Před 3 lety

    It's so nice to see these kinds of videos. Most other med student videos I have watched, they are all so stoic and formal about everything.

    @rawanradwan718 Před 3 lety

  • @Jcrosay
    @Jcrosay Před 3 lety

    Dude I can't even imagine the stress. Especially with managing a CZcams account on top of it all. I'm a paramedic, soon to be bachelor of science in nursing student, and I keep you medical students in the back of my mind when I think that I have it hard. So much respect for you!

  • @ykhmwrex
    @ykhmwrex Před 3 lety

    Hey Rachel! getting these videos from you gives me so much joy and motivation. I live in Israel and after i'll be done w my service i want to attend med school. i feel like there aren't alot of youtubers in this platform who show all of the side of a struggling med student, and when i watch your videos i feel reasured and that all the effort i'm putting towards studying is gonna be worth it. it's probably really hard being a full-time youtuber and a medical student and i just wanted to say thank you, and to hang on there♥

  • @dianasalgado3226

  • @marthanot85
    @marthanot85 Před 3 lety +1

    I would really love if you made a video on work/life balance, self care habits, not feeling bad about socializing etc. if that's possible! I'm in grad school and am struggling with that at the moment. I'm sure I'm not the only one!

I can never convince myself to do productive things in my time off at the end of the day. Mad will power and props to ya! Also I feel that endless anki grind.. omg.

    @SunnySimmer80 Před 3 lety

    Good luck on your exams Rachel! Found your videos a few days ago and subscribed. I really enjoy your content. I’m at my very beginning of my journey to med school as a pre-med (more like a premed premed lol) - I’m self studying math, biology and chemistry while this virus is still an issue. That way when I get the vaccine and get to go into school this coming fall I’ll be able to get ahead and show med school interviewers (when I reach that level) that I can self study and I am a hard worker. I’m doing a lot of research while I got time to waste (too late to enroll for spring)

Which I am aware there is lotsss of studying and some days/weeks will really be like this. But your channel has showed me it doesn't always have to be that way :)
