    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?

    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.

    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!

    Hey Rachel! I got into medicine this year and I'm extremely exhausted, anxious, can't work up the motivation to study and my mental health is in the gutter. I have several group projects to do and present in one week and hundreds of pages to memorize and I just can't keep up, especially with things being online and the whole lockdown situation and the inability to go out make friends (I know no one here because we can barely leave our homes). I'm not sure if I like this enough to keep going for 6 years and then professionally after that but I don't know what to do...

    • @Sofi_821
      @Sofi_821 3 года назад +2

      Hi, another med student here! I know you wrote this 2 months ago but I would recommend not to decide anything just yet, try to keep going at least until you can get back to normal classes, I swear it's so much better! Being able to make friends that are in the same situation as you will make everything easier. Also the practical classes are the best part of med school in my opinion, so I would say to just wait a little longer. Good luck 💞

    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♥

    PS: I'm do much in love with the "okay bye" part of every video it's everything.

    Thanks for all of your videos! The "Study with Me" set have saved my productivity this week. I would love to see what your workouts are like, maybe I'll be inspired to work out too ;)

    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)
