    Wooooww! Finally! I got to enjoy a week with hardly any stress. I can't tell you how exciting it was to vlog again. I've truly missed it soooo much. Enjoy!!
    Also, i haven't gotten my scores yet (which is why i haven't talked about them--may or may not tell you the real number..not sure yet). AND. I will be working on the "How I Studied in 2nd Yr of Med School" and "How I Studied for Boards" video. They take more time to produce, and I've been wanting to relax. :)
    Coming soon though!

    I’m a healthcare administration student and I can completely understand what you’re talking about with no having insurance. I haven’t had it for all of my adult life until 3 years ago? I’m 32. I just recently realized I could go to the doctor for a health issue I had. It didn’t dawn on me before. While the nurse practitioner and nurse I saw weren’t great (the nurse was super rude) I did figure out what is wrong with me. Health insurance should be a right and not a privilege. So many of my classes in school are based around health insurance and all the forms of government assistance. I’m very passionate about people having quality care no matter where they get their coverage.

    • @liv0003

    Rachel, the reflection you spoke about regarding the positive experience you had with your physician was so insightful-thank you for sharing! I believe that it requires an incredibly introspective individual to take inspiration from such a situation and use it as a motivating force for one's future actions, so I commend you immensely!!! Your ability to deep dive into the psychology behind patient interaction is such a gift; one that will serve you well in the future and enable you to be the most wonderful physician!
    Also, I am so excited for you to begin the next part of your journey! It has been such a joy to follow you throughout the trials and tribulations, and I just know that you'll have the best experience come time! I start my clinical rotation later this summer as well, so I am very much looking forward to sharing the experience in a sense! 🥰

    Move your desk in front of the window to face natural light. Then put your couch where your desk is now. Then it will be able to face your tv when you move it to the wall where your current couch is. This is similar to how my apartment is set up and I love it

    Girl I feel you on the coffee addiction! I noticed that I was feeling way more stressed about things than I should’ve been and my coffee addiction was to blame. I also started noticing several neurological symptoms and I had a hard time focusing while reading my textbooks. I’m 3 weeks caffeine free now (after about 2-3 days of some serious withdrawals and lots of naps) and now I feel calm throughout my day, I can focus easily while reading, and I fall asleep so quick at night! I also wake up feeling “awake,” versus the foggy feeling I felt every morning before I had my coffee. Anyways, 3 weeks in and I still miss the coffee, but I know quitting is worth it. I switched to Teeccino which is about as close as you can get to coffee besides decaf (which is too acidic for me). Teeccino is delicious and I can still make it in the Keurig with a reusable k-cup. You should try it out if you have some down time and can afford a few days of fatigue!

    since u said tell me ur thoughts please i am going to tell u what i think of the things u wanna add to ur home, i agree that u need more shelves and space to put ur things i actually wondered where u put ur things and books cuz i thought med students have many books, my mum certainly did, anyyywayyy u could get a white couch too or one with a colour thats already in ur home such as brown/baige/peach with white pillows to be matching the other couch, try to get one with the same design as the other one so it doesnt look out of place, things to keep in mind are that ur couch has high legs and they're brown and the stitching in it is verticle i hope i helped we're curently decorating our house so thats how i know some things about decor
    i also wanted to say how much i love ur videos and look forward to them and how proud iam with how far you've come i cant wait for u to start ur rotations then start intern year and become the doctor you wanna be
    plus that moment after the eye appointmet was so relatable and nice because after two years there will be a doctor like u out there who is kind, empathetic and passionate
    sorry if there are some spelling mistakes i was typing really fast
