    For post-exam Rachel: RACHEL- AHH YOU DID IT GURL!!! You're done, no more strict, unmotivated and caffeine overdose days of studying hehe.
    I'm very sure you did your best in the exam and trust me, you'll do great. You must feel extremely tired after 9 hours of exam taking but please feel proud about the big accomplishment you've achieved and how this very hard event can better help mommas and their babies.
    You're a true inspiration to me, like a big sis (thanks to you and your vlogs i applied to med school and got accepted, so I'm very grateful for you). I hope you now take this time to rest, to enjoy your friends and family, to eat lots of good food, and to do things that you enjoy.
    Thank you Rachel for your passion, charisma, kindness and hardwork. Me and the Herd love you.
    Please take care, beautiful! ❤️

I know that this Herd is proud to support you, and I know that you are going to own this test. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your daily life and for inspiring us all to strive for our dreams! ❤️

    Let us feel the feels, go through the emotions that come to us, and not forget that we did the best we could... may the results make us happy & lead us to the success & goal we've been working hard for.

    I'm always incredibly stressed and my to do list is always full. I have to study, I have a job, I have two younger siblings to take care of constantly, chores, an intense work out routine because, a self care routine etc. And sometimes it all just feels too much, like I don't even have the motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Everytime I feel that way I watch one of your videos Rachel and I immediately feel a lot more motivated and less stressed. It's just something about your voice, your whole presence and the style of your videos that is so calming and watching you be so productive makes me want to be productive. It's also your honesty that gets me because you aren't afraid to show yourself when you aren't at your best, when you are stressed, tired, overwhelmed or struggling. It reminds me that it is okay to feel that way and not to be too hard on myself. I've been watching your channel for about 2 years now and it really helped me stay motivated and productive with everything going on in my life ❤️❤️

    Rachel!! Watching this video during your premiere right now and sending you good vibes for Step 2! You're gonna crush it! My cat Yoda and I love watching your videos every week. I subbed to you as soon as your "First Day of Medical School" video went viral a few years back and haven't stopped watching! I'm not in the medical field at all and will likely never be, I just watch your videos because you're such a sweet person. Your kindness, motivation, and overall personality are what keeps me coming back every week. Don't ever stop being you! And can't wait to see you as an OB/GYN so so soon! Congrats on finishing Step 2 and best of luck in your 4th year of med school :)

      I am the same. I'm not even in the medical field in fact, completely opposite, retail Lol. Want to get out obviously. But these videos inspire me. I love watching people become something. Maybe because I'll never get to be there so I live through the videos I watch.

    I'm sure you're crushing it right now! I work in finance and even though I don't know what your tests are like I know what it's like to prep for and take multi-day exams that seem to cover literally everything. So stressful, but such an amazing accomplishment at the end. I remember this one time I finished an exam I thought I failed and test results were available at the front desk. I passed and totally lost my composure and was high fiving the test center staff, dancing, yelling too loud, etc. I hope you celebrate tonight!

    @JustynaHoubowicz 2 года назад +1

    Hey Rachel,
    I guess I wanted to let you know you don't make me feel alone. I love watching your videos because I know there is someone else out there is who's been having rough days (Med school, huh? I'm in a different field, but it's been challenging), stressing out, having extra responsibilites (like Sketchy) and just trying to make it. You're amazing. Please, keep at it. I know it makes me want to fight too. We can do this.
    Other than that I wanted to say... There is a point to all this, you know? You're much stronger than last year. You've been put through constant change this year, and you've adapted SO well each time. You've been studying despite the exhaustion and lack of motivation, you... You kept going. That's a thing in itself, GIRL. A beauty.
    Justine

    Rachel you are literally so dang beautiful🥺❤️I hope you get everything you want out of life because I always see you working hard for what you want out of life and when obstacles come up you always manage a way to remind yourself why you’re doing it in the first place and you manage to push through. I love you for that, keep following your dreams. I’m always rooting for you❤️
