If you had your notification bell on, you'd know that this video was out yesterday by accident and I quickly privated it hahahahahahah 13 of you liked the video. YA DUN CAUGHT MEH!
It's honestly crazy how much you've grown as a person, as a youtuber/videographer/editor, and as a student!! Watching you watch yourself (if that makes sense haha) is like watching a completely different and more mature person and it's so awesome to see that growth because it's what makes you the red ant you are now!!❤🐜
I got into medical school on Tuesday! Thank you for being so inspirational and honest in your videos! They really motivated me to keep studying this year and not give up with my application
"i want to go to bed at 9pm..." lol been here since you got your acceptances and I can honestly say its like watching a completely different person. We love growth.
Girl, that og transition music is taking me BACK omg. Rachel, you have grown SO much and I honestly can't wait to see how much wiser you become in the years to come :) p.s. your reaction to adjusting your sleep schedule couldn't be more accurate lol
Hey Rachel, I just want to let you know much you've helped me get through my anxiety getting into medical school. I was casually watching med vlogs when I stumbled on yours. Coincidentally, I pieced two and two together and realized I am actually gonna be going to the same school you're at (just knew from the website/how the school looked). I am incredibly excited and happy when I found out I was accepted to my dream school but I've also developed anxiety about starting because of how difficult it is. But watching you grow and especially knowing you're in the same school I'll be at gave me so much strength. It is hard, I know that but your growth through this journey has been so amazing! I'm excited to start my journey into medical school as a red ant! Congratulations on finishing your first year!
It's crazy how much growth happens over one year of medical school. Even now, I feel like I study differently for each exam and each block despite feeling like I had it figured out in the fall. Be proud of yourself! You've been an inspiration for so many.
I love how you always seem to be 100% comfortable in your own skin. When I first started my channel I felt so awkward in front of the camera and I didn't know how to act, but watching you gave me a lot of confidence! btw I loved this "peeling back the curtain" style video, so honest and funny!
Rachel Southard, you are such an inspiration. I have trouble being productive eight hours a day even though I have a full time job (I take breaks throughout the day to watch your videos). I'm just an IT guy, not enough of a superman to be a medical doctor, but I feel encouraged to better myself by your videos. Keep it up, you will make a great doctor.
I'm from Brazil and i really want to be a doctor. I'm studying and, when I get tired, I come here to see your videos. Have things that I can't understant cause my english is not so good, but I really love your channel!!!
It's funny because I remember watching this exact vlog when it came out and I just loved your energy! You've really evolved through the year! I'm a premed and your videos really solidify that I'll be okay when I finally reach med school! Thank you :')
This was so cute and amazing. I remember last year when you posted that video and how I could relate to you back in my first year. What made me cry over the reacting video is because I’m happy, it’s like I saw the changes and how you became a strong person. I feel so happy for you and for how far you’ve gone 🌸 Keep going, keep fighting ✊
I feel like I’m being dragged through the mud every day since I got into med school I looked at a before and after pic after 2 years of med school. I aged 10 years lol ☠️☠️☠️☠️ Learning to take care of patients and can’t take care of ourselves 💯
I’m 13, and at the moment I’m just tying to get through middle school. Like the saying goes, cross that bridge when you get there. The thing is, I like to plan ahead and have full control over where I’m going. I know by now that’s not how life goes, it’ll just throw you into a complete 180 at the drop of a hat, no warning. I do know that I want to go to medical school, I don’t know what exactly I want to achieve while I’m there. There are so many choices and things that I could go into. I guess I really have no reason to worry about this at such an early age but I find being prepared is very comforting. I just finished watching both videos on how school is going for you and I like how realistic you are about everything. You don’t hide the fact that it’s dead stressful and everything is all wacky. I find it very inspiring and if one day I’m going through the same hurtles I’ll know that everything will be okay as long as I don’t give up :)
I thought I was the only one who thought that way, I totally understand you and sometimes it concerns me how much I think and try to plan my future to the minimum detail... I'm just 15 but I'm already thinking about college and how my house is gonna be, what college do I wanna get into, where am I gonna work... Sometimes I'm just like "OK I really need to calm my head down lol". I totally get your point!! 🤣
As I am wrapping up 5 years of school, working hard has become a part of who I am now. I sometimes forget to me kind to myself tho, but you have reminded me time and time again that that is also an important part of it all. And so now I am telling you this: Be kind to your self Rachel. You are beautiful, even after 1 year of medical school, and your hair will grow back! U are a red ant after all! I can't wait to continue on this journey with you! PS: I LOVE your shirt!
You have no idea how much your videos have helped! Im currently in the process of applying for the 2021 cycle, and I am keeping these notes, and tips locked down for when I get in! Thank you for being a wonderful light! You are going to be an amazing doctor!! 🥰❤🙏🏽 Stay blessed!!
WoW its great to see that. For me I just finished medical school ( 6 years) and starting the internship year . There are times you will find yourself shattered and want to quit and just stop but it's ok you need to remember your goals your origin. stand up and fight back eventually you will be there.
That video actually scares my 6 year dream out of me😂😂 i even want to be a cardiologist, LABELED AS THE HARDEST AND STRESSFUL FIELD. Yelp... Im still going to do it😂😂
Hi rewatching this after my first new nurse interview to relax. You should do more of these! I would have like to watch my first week and seeing how much I changed and grown. I would be embarrassed , but more proud than anything.
I'm a first year student in Physician Assistant School (almost done with our first year, crazy!), but I love watching your videos, makes me feel a little less alone in the world. Not to mention you give so many helpful tips and tricks and I can't wait to see how you continue to progress!
This video is so relatable! ❤️ Just finished my first year of med school too. Everything from the way I study to what I thought was “hard” to reminiscing on how often I used to go to the gym! Lol 😂
Yo, I just subscribed to your channel and as a current medical student I can sooooooo relate to this video and obviously with you. Im not exaggerating, you lose track of time, you age, stress, anxiety and fear become your new best friends and its amazing to see that, we dont have to be in the same school to go through the same bullsh*t. Keep up everyday with your motivation, you are greater than your fears, anxiety and stress. Thanks for this video and subscribing here its totally worth it!!
I usually get bored of watching RUclips videos but I NEVER get bored of yours 🥺. Your personality is amazing and you’re adorable. My favorite channel, your videos are so inspiring
It's so awesome to see how much you've grown over your first year of medical school!! It makes me so happy to watch your videos bc it really makes me realize that I'm not the only one feeling the rush of different emotions :) I love your content and you're one of my favorite youtubers!
you are the best! seeing you go through this journey and how much you evolved to handle the stress and workload of med school gives me courage to still apply. I’ve let nerves about applying and the stories of how difficult it is get the best of me, but you make me believe that I can! thank you for always showing the raw and hard moments while still preserving and giving advice to us pre-meds. love you! ❤️
I followed your channel because I started pharmacy school the same time you were starting med school, and everything you said in this video is so true. Gone are the days of going to bed before 12, having a meal plan diet, working out, having high melanin levels, etc. (for now). But if it’s what it takes, it’s what it takes. If it was easy everybody would do it. I can’t attest to everything you said in this video to be true! First semester is always the worse once you get into that good flow state :)
Next year I’m starting med school and I gotta admit I’m a little terrified about it and very excited at the same time. Your videos have shown me that effort gives the best results and that has inspired me a lot. Very glad I found your channel Rachel! Keep it up, I’m convinced you’ll be an amazing professional.
Hi Rachel! I have been loving watching your vlogs this year! I will start pharmacy school in the fall, so I've really enjoyed seeing your study methods! Also you hair still looks great btw!
I really love love watching your videos! I’ve always wanted to be a dermatologist, and there are times people are like, “dermatology is competitive specialty,” and that it self really discourages me. When I’m Often going to google to see if being a nurse practitioner is equivalent, but nah I’m determined to get there, by any means. You and my parents always encourage me!
I watch RUclips videos and any videos I need to watch for school on 2x speed now because the normal speed feels like slow motion haha. started doing it bc of u, it’s a big time saver!!
It's my first time posting a comment - I am a friend of Teresa's and whenever I see her in your videos, I always smile! Congrats on finishing your first year of med school!
Thank you so much for your videos Rachel!!! Whenever I'm feeling down n on a low ur videos always inspire me to go and push my limits! Thank you so much for always working hard! I'm starting medicine this October and I'm going to work hard like u 😄😘. Lots of love!!!
I just started med school this year and since I can remember all I’ve ever wanted is to be a doctor. I thought I was like really intense because like you I’ve never imagined myself as something else which really freaks me out. After watching this I really feel much better knowing I’m not the only one who feels this is the right path even though it’s the only path I would choose. Med school is so overwhelming (even though where I live it’s so different from US) and watching your videos has made me realize it’s okay to break sometimes just as long as I stand up again. Thanksss Rachel❤️
Hey just wanna say because of you i started becoming more productive. I was a complete slack with no self control. Thank you. Also don't try to compare too much of your looks to your younger self. You're still beautiful as ever. You probably looked a lot younger because you have a much better camera and lighting which highlights your details 😄. That can sometimes look a lot of a matured you.
Dang you’ve really come a long way. Been here since your first week! Even though I’m a student pharmacist you’ve been so inspiring and influenced my study habits; just finished my first year as well. Can’t wait for the day we both become full time professionals. Keep soaring ❤️
6:07 proud to be here from the START START and will forever be with you on this journey tilllll the ennd!!! By start start i mean her video where she announced she got into med schoolxxxxxx Rachel, YOU are the reason i always wanna go and study and push myself even harder for my exams and studies!!!!! you are AMAZING
Honorable mentions “I just went through GI I know everything” “She’s still going to the gym early, no” “If I didn’t become a physician it’s because I died” “I ended up going to bed at 11 :30... Oh no boohoo”
Ayeeee now in your second year and next year you start rotations!!!!! It’s really fun working at the hospital and just a relief since you change the scenery after sitting in the same class lectures for a couple of years. Really makes you feel more of a doctor and made me feel proud and nervous 😂
As a Western U DO 2024 I would love to see a "What I Wish I Knew!" Side note: didn't realize you were going to my future school until I creeped on your youtube page. Made me less nervous. So thanks
@@RachelSouthard yeah....life has been happening. A lot of life changes have forced me to put school on hold for the time being but, I'm getting back into the swing of things.
OMG the red ant t-shirt, so cute. I'm all about this video. Congrats on finishing out your first year, excited to follow you through the next three! :)
You are an adorable person! I like your personalities and altitude towards life. Congratulations on all the achievements and progress you have made. Good luck and keep it up!
These reactions are so relatable. 😂💕 I'm going to start my final year in medical college in India soon and everytime I think back to what I was like in my first year, this is exactly how I feel. Also, the hair loss problem is too real 😭
This is like seeing 2 different people! When I first saw that video, I asked myself if I'll even be able to make it in med school - will all the premed work be worth it just to stress out like that for another 4 years? Seeing how much you've grown and evolved as a person and student is amazing tho and I'm so happy to see it come full circle!
If you had your notification bell on, you'd know that this video was out yesterday by accident and I quickly privated it hahahahahahah 13 of you liked the video. YA DUN CAUGHT MEH!
Sneaky ants.
your so beautiful! I hope you have an amazing life ahead of you :)
😂saw it and was shocked when the notification popped up
We are her herd of sneaky red ants haha idk that’s a mixture of her two things she says
@@RachelSouthard hey i was watching one of your older videos and pleaseee drop the info.. what is your shoulder workout?! haha thanks
“If I didn’t become a physician, it’s because I died”. lol what a mood😂
she is SERIOUS!
This is a way better way to say it than what I have said about this goal. Which was, if I don't make it...lol
lol died of heart attack from the stress yes lol
I have the same mentality but I did almost die. Lyme disease.
Dude, basically my mood. I've got a long way to go before even applying though.
"Don't try to do the most. Just do your best" yes yes YES. This is something i truly struggle with and it's a nice reminder.
I’m happy it resonates with you ☺️
I remember when you said "I want to go to bed at 9pm" and I was like oop
and i OOOP
Yeah bruh I’m in highskl and don’t sleep at that time 😭😭😭😭
It's honestly crazy how much you've grown as a person, as a youtuber/videographer/editor, and as a student!! Watching you watch yourself (if that makes sense haha) is like watching a completely different and more mature person and it's so awesome to see that growth because it's what makes you the red ant you are now!!❤🐜
Thank you so much
I got into medical school on Tuesday! Thank you for being so inspirational and honest in your videos! They really motivated me to keep studying this year and not give up with my application
Congratulations!!
In my country medical school lasts for 7 years and 4/5 years of speciality and I'm doubting whether or not I should do it
@@Marwa-mv6wv same girl
@@justlife9785 I ended up majoring in engineering lol
Her looking beautiful
Also her:medical school has aged me
😂
It really has! That was me with makeup on. you should see what my FBI agent has to see omg.
Rachel Southard FBI agent?!😂😂
@@RachelSouthard HAHAHA 😂😂😂
Rachel Southard I’m your FBI agent:)) ur gorgeous wym
Rachel Southard FBI AGENT I-
She has the most beautiful skin & attitude, you would never tell she’s been sleep-deprived for days because of her studying
‘If I didn’t become a physician it’s because I died’. Im getting me a coaster with that on for my study desk... Dedication on a whole other level 😬😬
YES! It is TRUE
Plz do a video on "LIFE LESSONS I HAVE LEARNT SO FAR"
support me people..
Shadrack Njogu yes I would love a video like that
LOL when she throws the STEP 1 book on the bed and says "I'm sorry" 😂 😂
"i want to go to bed at 9pm..." lol been here since you got your acceptances and I can honestly say its like watching a completely different person. We love growth.
I found you on YT during your first week of med school so it’s literally crazy to rewatch that video and seeing your reaction.
Girl, that og transition music is taking me BACK omg. Rachel, you have grown SO much and I honestly can't wait to see how much wiser you become in the years to come :) p.s. your reaction to adjusting your sleep schedule couldn't be more accurate lol
ill have it make a special appearance hehe

I’m in grade 10 of high school and I know it’s going to be a very long stressful time in pre med and med. but it’s going to be worth it.
That T-shirt🥰👌.....I need one,how do I get one Rachel
Is this gonna be merch ?😟❤
Both Rachel's said "Yes! Do it" 9:57
Hahaha some things never change😂
when i was editing that, i was like "OMG DANGGG!!!"
😂
I love how you always seem to be 100% comfortable in your own skin. When I first started my channel I felt so awkward in front of the camera and I didn't know how to act, but watching you gave me a lot of confidence!

“ I look so young.. “ thats really broke my heart 😭🥺
this is so helpful and wholesome. as a premed undergrad this is so awesome to watch you come full circle. Thank you for the vulnerability!!!
I lost half of my hair in undergrad and the other half in med school, I'm bold now 😂
Don't worry you're not alone
Amazing point about “why” you want to go to the gym! I have never thought about that.
After binge watching all your videos, I am so glad you posted this! Makes me feel amazed by your strength and dedication ❤❤
This was so cute and amazing.

I looked at a before and after pic after 2 years of med school. I aged 10 years lol ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Learning to take care of patients and can’t take care of ourselves 💯
Lol hahah that's how I feel too!!! Also a fellow med student!!!
I’m 13, and at the moment I’m just tying to get through middle school. Like the saying goes, cross that bridge when you get there.

WoW its great to see that. For me I just finished medical school ( 6 years) and starting the internship year . There are times you will find yourself shattered and want to quit and just stop but it's ok you need to remember your goals your origin. stand up and fight back eventually you will be there.
It’s so awesome that you’re able to smile throughout all of the stress and work you do.
You developed so much, it's amazing. You are really inspiring😊♥️
That video actually scares my 6 year dream out of me😂😂 i even want to be a cardiologist, LABELED AS THE HARDEST AND STRESSFUL FIELD. Yelp... Im still going to do it😂😂
bruhhh i want to be a pediatrician but im so scared lol
Believe it or not, I'm taking notes from your videos HAHA. The growth and the glow up is so real, Rachel!
Yaas we love that character development! You're an inspiration and i love your content! 🥰🥰
Also 16:37 Holy smokes Rachel!!!
Awh yay! I hope you enjoyed this video
Hi rewatching this after my first new nurse interview to relax. You should do more of these!
I would have like to watch my first week and seeing how much I changed and grown. I would be embarrassed , but more proud than anything.
Also, I have a new “work email” so I have a new RUclips account. My old one is my maiden name… So you have a new subscriber lol
Been with you from the start! So awesome to see your growth and dedication to your schooling! Very motivating and helps me study for nursing school
Awww the first video i ever watched of you was the the first of week of med school vlog & it just feels great being a part of your journey!! 🥰

I have been watching you since this video!! It is amazing to see your progress and you have inspired me so much. Very proud of you ❤️❤️
Awh Gabby, thank you. A true OG.
Next year I’m starting med school and I gotta admit I’m a little terrified about it and very excited at the same time. Your videos have shown me that effort gives the best results and that has inspired me a lot. Very glad I found your channel Rachel! Keep it up, I’m convinced you’ll be an amazing professional.
Really appreciate this video and all the advice you gave. Hope you're doing well and are proud of your accomplishments so far!
Hey Rachel! Thanks for being an awesome role model! :-) its always so fun watching your blogs!
Thank you Savanna. So sweet of you
who else is terrified yet excited to hopefully go to med school :)
last week I went back and watched all those old vids it's so funny to see you reacting to them. You've come a long way!!
Hi Rachel! I have been loving watching your vlogs this year! I will start pharmacy school in the fall, so I've really enjoyed seeing your study methods!
Also you hair still looks great btw!
oooh! exciting! best of luck to you! Thank you for watching :)
I really love love watching your videos! I’ve always wanted to be a dermatologist, and there are times people are like, “dermatology is competitive specialty,” and that it self really discourages me. When I’m Often going to google to see if being a nurse practitioner is equivalent, but nah I’m determined to get there, by any means. You and my parents always encourage me!
I always try watching your videos without questioning how you have such clear skin but agh I can’t 😍😍
So amazing to see your growth as a young woman, a medical student as well as a youtuber! Amazing job Rachel!
This video was so motivating to watch! I love the red ant shirt Rachel, I can't wait for your merch to come out!!
I watch RUclips videos and any videos I need to watch for school on 2x speed now because the normal speed feels like slow motion haha. started doing it bc of u, it’s a big time saver!!
It's my first time posting a comment - I am a friend of Teresa's and whenever I see her in your videos, I always smile! Congrats on finishing your first year of med school!
I'm honored that you commented!
Thank you :D
Thank you so much for your videos Rachel!!! Whenever I'm feeling down n on a low ur videos always inspire me to go and push my limits! Thank you so much for always working hard! I'm starting medicine this October and I'm going to work hard like u 😄😘. Lots of love!!!

Love you Rachel!
So proud of you and how far you’ve come.
I loved this video. It shows growth and helps others!
peep the tshirt she’s wearing.....merch coming soon?
Zemora J. yeah i saw that in the last video i just thought I would comment something about the shirt :)
I can’t believe I’ve been watching for over a year
I really appreciate your videos. They are so realistic on how medical school is going to be.
I just finished my first year of grad school! So happy to have had your videos along the way
Hey just wanna say because of you i started becoming more productive. I was a complete slack with no self control. Thank you.
Also don't try to compare too much of your looks to your younger self. You're still beautiful as ever. You probably looked a lot younger because you have a much better camera and lighting which highlights your details 😄. That can sometimes look a lot of a matured you.
“If I didn’t become a physician, it’s because I died.” I love this, it’s my motto now.
Once you start speeding up lectures/videos there’s no going back
Dang you’ve really come a long way. Been here since your first week! Even though I’m a student pharmacist you’ve been so inspiring and influenced my study habits; just finished my first year as well. Can’t wait for the day we both become full time professionals. Keep soaring ❤️
wow! Thanks for being an OG! GO US!!!
I just finished watching your first day of med school & was hit with so much discourage but after seeing this video my courage has been refilled!

“I just went through GI I know everything”
“She’s still going to the gym early, no”
“If I didn’t become a physician it’s because I died”
“I ended up going to bed at 11 :30... Oh no boohoo”
Ayeeee now in your second year and next year you start rotations!!!!! It’s really fun working at the hospital and just a relief since you change the scenery after sitting in the same class lectures for a couple of years. Really makes you feel more of a doctor and made me feel proud and nervous 😂
I’m in my third year now ☺️ this video was made a while ago
the growth of your beautiful plant by your window as well 🥺❤️❤️
As a Western U DO 2024 I would love to see a "What I Wish I Knew!" Side note: didn't realize you were going to my future school until I creeped on your youtube page. Made me less nervous. So thanks
Hey Rachel! I hope all is well and congratulations on finish your first year!
Ashley! Hey you! I hope you're doing well!
@@RachelSouthard yeah....life has been happening. A lot of life changes have forced me to put school on hold for the time being but, I'm getting back into the swing of things.

“It’s time to start using this now”
*one second later*
**YEEET**
HAHAHHA
It’s really good to see how much you have learned and how you now have got the hang of it.
Love you :)
Wish you luck .. You Go Girl 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Congrats Rachel on finishing your first year!!! 💗🎈🌸🤩
OMG the red ant t-shirt, so cute. I'm all about this video. Congrats on finishing out your first year, excited to follow you through the next three! :)
Omg! I remember watching the day it went up! Nostalgia lol! You look even happier and more radiant now😍🤩
Am a third year medical student, we are all in this together!!!! All the best !
You are an adorable person! I like your personalities and altitude towards life. Congratulations on all the achievements and progress you have made. Good luck and keep it up!
awh, you're so sweet! Thank you.
These reactions are so relatable. 😂💕 I'm going to start my final year in medical college in India soon and everytime I think back to what I was like in my first year, this is exactly how I feel. Also, the hair loss problem is too real 😭
This is like seeing 2 different people! When I first saw that video, I asked myself if I'll even be able to make it in med school - will all the premed work be worth it just to stress out like that for another 4 years? Seeing how much you've grown and evolved as a person and student is amazing tho and I'm so happy to see it come full circle!
Rachel: "this is when I went to the gym DUMMY early!"
😂 oh man, that had me laughing
the bay area in me had to say "dummy" -_- smh
You can take a person out of the bay, but you can’t take the bay out of a person lol
