Burnout in Medical School | Vlog

I’m finding it really hard to study these days. Before, especially during the first semester of med school, I felt like there was something pulling me out of bed each morning. I had been waiting for this moment my whole life. To be in medical school, on the way to being a doctor. But lately, that hook that yanked me out of bed? I don’t feel it so much anymore. Now, it feels hard to see the point when every day is just study, class, eat, sleep, study, repeat.
If you’re burnt out, remember this: it’s ok to take a step back, to find solace in solitude or comfort in the company of loved ones. It's ok to do something that brings you joy, something unrelated to your goals and responsibilities. And remember, there’s so much to look forward to.
What's something that brings you peace these days? Comment below !! 💕💕

[@HARSHJAIN11008]

hey are you of indian ethnicity because you look like one btw, no offense

[@user-iq4og7zq1f]

As someone whos in high school and very interested in becoming a doctor, these vlogs just fuel my desire to get into medical school. Please keep making these. You are currently my number one youtuber 💜

[@emily-feng-md-to-be]

aww made my day 💕 thanks for watching!

[@Julia-me1jw]

The no class days being unproductive because you don’t know what to do with all the “free” time is SOOO REAL. Literally the most difficult thing in med school for us. Also was just thinking about trying that coffee shop sooo you’re my motivation 😝

[@emily-feng-md-to-be]

LITERALLY!! I need more structure in my life haha and totally would recommend the coffee shop 10/10 ❤

[@dalneynavalha4586]

That was so comforting to hear Emily! Learning to take breaks and finding things that bring you peace is truly essential🤍🤍

[@angealexa4092]

I really appreciate your vlogs! I am currently in nursing school and watching you through your medical journey has motivated me a lot :)

[@anitabargaje2356]

Ummm

[@elisabethkalande]

Such as much-needed video🥹 Thank you so much💖

[@emily-feng-md-to-be]

so glad you enjoyed 💖 we got this

[@shantaenow]

I usually don't comment, but I randomly came across this video and am so glad I did. I'm an undergrad, and what you said about the feelings of motivation in the first semester compared to the second semester resonated with me so much. I think all the hard work I put into my first semester really burned me out, and because I didn't properly take care of it in between semesters, I'm really feeling it now. But you've inspired me to finally stop putting off visiting that cafe I really love in favor of studying all day for my finals. So thank you.

[@winniemarina1151]

pretty sure heaven sent this video to me cause this is exactly what i needed to hear in this moment, i feel comforted, love your vibes and aesthetic 🤍 keep going!

[@emily-feng-md-to-be]

EMILY!! I'm also an M1 and I resonated so much with this video. Thanks for being real and vulnerable on this platform. Despite the mundane day to day work, I know that it's all going to be worth it

[@fernandamedina9435]

Yey emily posted a video so excited!!! Btw Keep going a burnout is very hard because of how you are after being difficult to come back to your routine, you can do it!! Being in university is very relatable because I constantly need to study but I take it as a game (if I study I can play videogames later) so if I find an objective I find it easy and study to later on relax you got this 😁❤️✨

[@naya8938]

Thank you for keeping me motivated with these videos! They help me so much when I'm feeling down. Btw you guys are so cute together!!

Anyways, im looking forward to watching your other vids :) take careeee (also your editing is super funny LMAOOO)

[@aydastudies]

Hii Emily, I've loved your videos from the start! But this one I really REALLY needed. I totally cried, I really needed to hear everything you said. I'm going back to school after 3 years of illness, and I'm preparing for the university entrance exam this year to go to a psychology university. It's really hard because I'm a free candidate, so I'm on my own, with no friends, no teachers... I've got my family and a few good friends but I don't have much of a social life and morally it's hard. I hope I succeed and can finally go to university... I can't wait to be able to work in a group, have teachers, I miss the little worries of school ahaha Thank you for everything, I wish you, your boyfriend and all your friends every success! I wish you a long and happy life in good health 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 (Ayda from France 🎀)

the outro made me cry

[@-qp9jq]

High school is about to end...and I really didn't do anything because of frustration and that everyone around me was frustrated...Today I woke up to a nightmare that it was over and I didn't do anything and I was feeling very remorseful because the consequences were very difficult. There are only 40 days left until my exams and I have 18 subjects 🙂💔

What's your setup for vlogging? equipment wise

[@emily-feng-md-to-be]

I filmed this on my iPhone 12 and used CapCut to edit!

[@iqranaazansari8688]

Beautiful ❤️ One Genuine question. Like sometimes,you both would need some alone time because in videos you guys are together most of the time so, what do you guys do for like alone or me time???? Any disadvantages of dating someone from same profession?(I think its pretty cool😊 but,since you're living it Sis what do you think?)

[@liz8215]

Not me noticing the slide at 6:07, the alternative pathway, the splitting of c3 in innate immunity. 😳 i'm in immunology rn. 🤣
