Girl i just wanted to tell u that im finally in med school and im having a really tough time but seeing that u also have tough days sometimes really helps me feel like im not alone on this difficult path cuz usually all seniors and social media doctors make it seem so easy 😭😭 thanks for being real with us ❤️❤️❤️ we love u 😍 keep being awesome sis!!!
You in there now 💯
Medicine is NEVER easy, however those days will pass believe me
You got into medical school for a reason. It is because you are intelligent, image the amount of people who don’t get in, you made it!, also you are meant to help heal, it is an honor to be able to help and heal others and a hard road but as Rachel has shown us it is worth it. And if you end up changing your path, that is okay also as long as you are happy

@@Sarah-dn9fj i hopeeeee
Elenor Roosevelt said “no one can make you feel inferior without your consent”. I think that perfectly explains what you were talking about, how were all responsible for our own feelings, as well as our own actions, really. 🙂
this!!
@@RachelSouthard also, this is a great quote: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” -Viktor Frankl
Dental student in the house! Thankful for your videos!! ❤ no doubt the process of getting through this kind of education is a marathon of highs and lows. Thank you for documenting how it really is. I have been in the same boat as you so many times over the last two years, and I feel so uplifted by someone willing to show all the questions, tears, and thoughts that go on.
“I’m going to eat so I don’t like cry or anything” relatable 😂
I love the quote you mentioned. I agree that how something makes us feel depends on how we choose to let it affect us and how we deal with it. Although it's totally fine to let something make you feel down and just experience the emotion sometimes, like when stress levels get sky high. I love how you show the world that that is indeed okay :D
Another rule I try to live by is the "5 by 5 rule of happiness": if something is not going to matter in five years, then don't spend more than 5 minutes being upset about it, for example failing an exam or embarrasig yourself. This really helps me to put things into perspective when I am about to overthink. Anyway, love your video's, I always look forward to them and it makes me feel like we're just all in this together
keep working hard. i still have a long way of me going into med school but i enjoy of how tough you are and getting through. i have problems of school back then and realized that its not to late for me. You will be a good doctor. keep it up and have a bless day.
Looks like you met a few fur friends during this rotation 😄🐱🐶. Love your hair dark btw, your skin glows. Something fun about me is I'm graduating from nursing school in one week! Love your blogs!!
awh ty Lindsey! Sweet gal.
YAY!!! CONGRATS!!!
I have had a week off so I'm trying to watch all the videos you posted.. I can't tell you enough, how strong are you! I feel you feeling isolated.. it sucks. Tysm for keeping us updated, will always send you good vibes from the other side of the world haha 🥰
thanks for keeping it real Rachel! and I agree, how you feel is how you feel and it's important to come to a point where you accept it's a reflection of you moreso than them.
I 100% agree with what u said near the end of the video. Even though I’m aware of this,it’s comforting to hear someone say it once in a while.
yess a new video.... nothing makes my day like any updates from you...and just do whatever you can do and enjoy your rotations don't stress yourself over vlogging it's ok to slow down a bit sometimes anyways we love you ❤️and thankyou for another awesome video 😊
I’ve been watching your channel since I was a premed dreaming of being in your shoes and now I’ve just finished M1 😊 thank you for being honest about the highs, lows, and everything in between. You really help people to understand what it’s like, and we love following your story!
you do justice to this vlog, its soo refreshing to see you. lot of love ❤️ I love your channel 😍🥰
the moment with the cat was literally the most wholesome thing ever
Kush was so sweet!
Thanks for this vlog, Rachel! I will be moving away soon as well and I am worried about feeling everything you are explaining. However, it’s very comforting to see that you are going through the same thing! Here for you!
Hi Rachel, this is just a little appreciation comment. Have been following you since day 1 of your med school journey and have seen you work so hard. I love your videos. I feel so proud to see how far you have come and must say you inspire me a lot. Thank you so much for putting so much effort for us. Hope you get all the success, happiness that you truly deserve and yeah just stay happy, love ya.💞
Thank you so much
❤❤❤
That's a Viktor E. Frankl quote! super stoic, love to hear :)
Hi Rachel!!! I so needed this positivity boost 🤩
I just love watching your vlogs! Everytime I see it they are very refreshing ❤️ with all the positive vibes 💕. LY Rachel 😊
Oh The Great Rachel ✨🌷again hit me with a pretty good lesson on how to coop with changes be responsible, hardworking and stay on track with such challenges you are unique🔥
Man this is crazy. I just finished the semester and have been off of work for a few days and it wasn’t until I kept checking my phone for a new vlog that I realized these only come out once a week. 🤦🏿♂️I’m addicted
You're amazing, Rachel. As much as you miss OB/GYN, try to get the most out of this rotation! You'll look back and be happy you did. Keep up the hard work! ❤
definitely!
This is like waiting outside the back door to see your favorite Celebrity walk to their car. Dr. Southard is a medical celebrity showing us her house on medical celebrity rockstar CRIBS on MTV. 😀She is going to be a legend on youtube and she hasn't even peaked yet lol This Dr. is Just getting started in her profession. She is my hero.
I love your positivity. Thank you 😊 😍😍
I just got in to nursing school you have no idea how you are inspiring me I will be taking the nurse practitioner route after a couple of years of experience 💕
I appreciate the tip and I love this video! ❤️ I have this male friend that brags a lot about himself and his grades, and it makes me very irritated to hear him all the time, to a point that I don't even want to talk to him anymore. I do have to say it is hard to apply that tip when you value the person and their opinions. If that person that you value says something you might find it hurtful, then you will get upset, especially coming from that person.
Omg Rachel that clinic fit is fireee🔥🔥🔥
Most times I don’t feel like studying either 😂… btw I can’t wait to see the video title “I got matched into residency”🎉
ouuuuuu! Thank you! i'd rather be in scrubs though lolol
I am also in a med school, and everyday whenever i watch your videos, all i think is maybe one day i can become like you! Thank you for inspiring me!
you'll be better than me
great advice Rachel Thanks ❤️
You look so cute in that tank top!! Also so glad you brought the grey emotional support t-shirt, was hoping you wouldn’t forget that gem
hehe thank you Katy. That grey tshirt is gettin me through
i’m about the take the finals for the most difficult classes of my life (immunology, biochem, and mol bio) this week and my head has been completely empty. just no thoughts, no absorption. i’m scared, but re-watching some of your vlogs are giving me hope that i’ll pull through.
you will pull through megan! we are here for ya
the quote you mentioned, I think I read something similar on "The 7 habits of highly effective people"
Thank you Rachel,
But, your videos make me feel good😄
I'm currently a UK student at college trying to get my A Level grades to get to my dream med school and I am feeling the pressure a lot right now. In my head I think moving to go to med school will be a fresh start for me, but I also know that it's gonna be HARD, but thanks to you I'm learning lots of different ways to deal with my stress! You're such a huge inspiration and motivator for me to keep working hard when I'd rather be doing anything but studying! At least none of us are alone :)
You got this Ella ;)) I truly believe in you
we are here for you!! you can do this
@@claudialamberts398 Thank you so much!!
@@RachelSouthard
It's not always going to be Gumdrops and Lollipops in Life! More importantly it is how we handle those times when we have to munch on a Sour Ball from time to time that will shape our character and bring out our true colors. It's a learning process as we adjust to the different "Tastes" too! Very Much Appreciate the Honesty and Real you share with your Fans Rachel. Can't be easy either when it's affecting you too. Some days are easy and great, others are hard and slow but that is the menu we eat from and as long as we clean our plates we will eventually be okay! Cheers From Ohio and Keep Strutting Everyone! Happy Mother's Day to ALL the Mom's in The Southard Community!
Rachel, I think you did a good job with the mini move and just little longer n you'll get to bring the babies into the world and all that good life starting stuff! Have to say the cat and dog were good extras :) . Medicine rules, not a doctor, but i've lived medicine as a patient. Keep on truckin girl, your super strong, and red ants rule!
i have the big move coming up next weekend!!
but thanks so much Chad!
God loves you all so much...more than you will ever be able to understand. He's with you no matter what's going on, and He will never walk away from you
Very happy to see Michigan repped by rachel
Hold on, you've been talking for a few minutes and I still can't get over that adorable and sweet GSD 😍 must go play with pupper. And the friendly kitty too. When I was in highschool I had to walk a few blocks from the bus stop to the school and there was a playful cat who would wait for me in his driveway so we could play for a few minutes. Another friendly cat who just wanted pets on another street. Then I'd continue walking and right by the school there was a dog I'd pet every morning too. She was a bit of a wild child and would jump the fence sometimes and get into the school. People were afraid of her because she was large and would jump and was mouthy but it only took one time for me to teach her not to be mouthy with me. I would just call her over to walk her back home.
Waiting patiently to watch this when I should be studying for my final in 2 days.😰😰
I enjoy your videos. You should do a video on money that you spend. All the moving and rotations traveling, etc.
Missing ur vlogs 💕
I’m a med school student in my second year in Saudi Arabia (it’s take 7 years to be a doctor here) and tomorrow my first day after Eid vacation (religious celebrations) and I really don’t want to go back my power is dead I’m afraid that I won’t do well at my final block in this year, I just want summer to come as fast as possible to be done and go back to my normal life
I Love You Rachel!!!❤️
love you more
Love your Vlogs...❤Rachel.
Love the new thumbnails!
yay! thank you!
I’m a PA student about to go out on rotations and I really love your vlogs! Very realistic and inspiring :)
Goodluck:)
love you! good luck
Video idea: Please film a workout video. I used to study with your pomodoro videos. It would be cool if I could excercise with you.
I love your channel. Lots of love from Slovakia. 🥰
Hi Rachel !! Hope you’re doing well !!
I love the dark hair!
ty!
Hii Sis.. Happy to see you ❤️ I'm also studying to be a doctor 😇
I have a question about the jingle at the end… “Hopefully I’ll make it up in one piece… Maybe two”
Does it mean you’re gonna be broken afterwards or does it mean you’re gonna find somebody? Sorry I have been watching your videos for a long time but don’t know this part and have been really curious. Much love! ❤️
Can't wait
Video suggestion: pls do a video on pelvic pain conditions (vaginismus, vulvodynia, vestibulodynia etc.) no one ever talks about this and as someone going into ob/gyn I hope that you will learn about these conditions and be able to support ppl through them. my dr told me it was in my head. I think you could make a huge impact on a lot of people w a video about this. pls consider it.
future video? do you like having an apple watch? helpful for medical school? other apps you like? Thanks! ;-)
in the building watching from barbados
I never seen a videos of yours where the lighting is horrible. I’m surprised you didn’t notice while editing. Happy Day!
i do notice, but it's my camera and i'm not savvy with color correcting.
You know it's a nice nice place when they're filming a Mercedes commercial in it!
THE AIRNBN KITCHEN IS SO CUTE WHAAT
isn't it cute!
I know this video is from 9 months ago but I often go back to these videos and try to look at you adapting to new situations/any stress and try to like take inspiration from that and convince myself I can do it too. I moved back home after finishing medical school & working a year as a junior doctor overseas. I am a non U.S. img so I’m studying right now to take the step1 while I wait for my medical officer job placement in my home country. But I’m having such a hard time adjusting being back home after being away for 7 years and I know I sound like I’m ungrateful? But I don’t know man. Anyone with experience/similar experience please tell me how you got through adjusting and feeling at ease and not on edge so I can find my flow to study productively and just be not feeling out of place…. It’s such a strange thing to feel
How long does it take you to do 2 sets of uworld ? It takes me like 5 hours and it’s so frustrating
Is there a way to choose a medical school path so that you don’t have to do any away rotations (where you would have to move like this)?
Your air BnB needs plants! Have you tried the salted caramel Premier Protein bars. Yum! You got this girl!
agreed!!
and no i havent!!! sounds bomb
in the building waiting from barbados 😎😎😎
commenting for the algorithm
hope you enjoy OMM! I don't really know anything about it
Thanks Josh! so far so good
HI! the clogs you own can also be used in the OR correct? im going on my clinical rotation soon and need to get some!
yeah! all closed toe shoes are good for the OR essentially lol. but the clogs are so great.
Do u get anxiety where u change places? I get so sick to my stomach even if I just change a yellow light bulb into one that's white!
A used Nissan Leaf is only $6K in Wisconsin! You don’t have to pay for gas!
OMG HURRY UP 17hrs can't come soon enough. Study break it set lol
When it comes to residency, would you mind being matched somewhere a little farther out?
Wherever will give me the best training :)
Surprised you aren't excited about this rotation. OMM/OMT is a major separator between DOs and MDs, right? It's a valuable skill to bring to OB/GYN. After thinking about this more, IMO the number of DOs should be equal to or greater than MDs. It's crazy how many are suffering because the latter thinks almost exclusively in terms of drugs to mask symptoms and surgery.
What is the brand of the clogs? They look super comfy but still business casual!
Dansko? i think that's how you spell it. gamechanging shoe
Heyy!!! Do international students with a pre med undergraduate degree from a US institution get accepted into US medical schools?
Rachel, did you go more north or more south of LA? I ask because I live about 1.5 hours away from LA so depending on what direction you went, we might be close! I love your videos and I'd be happy to meet up if you're around!
Instagram DM me!
so does the hospital pay for your AirBnB or do you have to pay for it yourself?
I have to 😭
what color is your hair? I wanna dye my hair like that
Can you incorporate OMM/OMT in OB/Gyn? That could be a positive way to look at this rotation and get a little more motivated in the clinicals
Yup!!
Is everyone getting the vibe that I’m not excited for this rotation 🥴 cause I didn’t think that I made it seem like I’m not enjoying it.
@@RachelSouthard I don’t think you made it seem like you’re not enjoying it. You made one comment after your first day that your motivations was lacking. And you’re not as enthusiastic/excited about it as Ob (but that makes sense). You clearly found the specialty you’re passionate about and that’s fantastic. I just mentioned it because if you can find a way to focus on how you can apply the OMT into on it might help motivate you more.
Into OB*
What kind of doctor is your preceptor on an exclusively OMM rotation?
DO
can you talk about the financial side of med school? As someone who is applying next cycle, I have always wondered how med students survive especially having to rent an Air bnb for a month.
The air b&b thing was ROUGH on my finances. I have gov loans and that’s it’s. I’m not great with talking about finances ):
is having to move for rotations the norm for both DO and MD?
Depends on the school
The philosophy of Stoicism. You'll like it
Also, what cam do you use to record footage?
Canon EOS M50 and canon g7x
OK THAT airbnb is SO ASETIC (sorry cannot spell hope u know what it means) lol
costs a pretty penny though ):
Hey Rachel
Random question but where are you’re necklaces from 💕
Ana Luisa :)
hey beautiful u look amazing :D love the top yaayi :D
i knew i wasnt crazy for having a keurig and wanting a nespresso 😭
When you say “moving” did you mean to the air bnb or moving to a new apartment? Fun fact…..mmmm last year I had a set of twin grandsons and this year I’ve had 1 grandson born and expecting a granddaughter! That will make 6 grandsons ( one of those is in heaven) and 1 granddaughter
i'm moving moving out of that apartment next weekend ):
oh! thanks for sharing the fun fact!
💗💗💗
♥️♥️♥️
Did any of your classmates go to UCLA?
something fun about me is that I can draw pretty good 😄
how cool!
I love you
love you
we love your body rachie

YES! YES. that's where it's from.
71 DOLLARS FOR GAS MY JAW DROPPED WHAT
it HURTS
who takes care of your plants when you are gone!?
i go back once a week to water them :p
I dont have time for people who want to tell me how i feel. I think thats a red flag. As for the "you make me feel" maybe they need to change their actions to get a different response before accusing others. That bothers me too.
hey if you need an editor, lemme know! :) Have a wonderful day Rachel!
When you become a doctor you wont be worrying about things being too expensive ever again
