[@RachelSouthard]

Are you guys excited to try Care/of? Let me know what you think!

[@evadawn5745]

Too bad they don't have anything for people who've had bariatric surgery

[@aaliyahhhhhhh335]

Rachel I’m so freaking happy for you honestly when I saw you cry - I started crying because I know how hard you worked. Juggling your mental health, KZbin, trying to have a normal life outside of Med School. You deserve the world. Well done for working so so hard. I’m so happy for you. You are meant to be an Ob-Gyn ❤️❤️❤️

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you so much 😭😭♥️

[@farhanbinsalim666]

Oh my God. Seems like couple of days ago Rachel was uploding her 2nd year medical school journey. Now she is graduating. Time really flies. Proud of you Rachel. Good luck. 😀

[@brendah9948]

I can't believe you're going to graduate already! 😭😭😭 I still remember your moments of self-doubt and you questioning if you'd ever feel happiness again. But look at you! You got through it and you matched!!! All the hard work paid off! After having lived through med school, remember that you can get through residency! As a Mexican-American, you have made us so proud! Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳

[@RachelSouthard]

♥️♥️♥️ thank you 😭

[@vanessahinds8320]

I'm so sorry for your loss of Lily. I cannot wait to see your match day!!!!!! And, you've chosen a time honored Position. That has got to be the greatest feeling, helping a Mommy deliver her baby!

[@vanessahinds8320]

And my daughters name is Rachel also. She is in the dental field.

[@leah_slv]

this is just wild, i remember watching your M1 vlogs! when i first started watching i was doing my nursing prereqs and now I'm an ICU nurse! time flies.

[@anamenouknow5197]

Rachel I started watching your videos when I was in 12th grade then as a pre med and now as a medical student. That is like 3 years of being with you. I am so happy for you. I always look up to you You are like the older sibling I wished for! May you be the best ob/gyn doc ever!!! ❤

[@josephd3104]

Oh man. I first found you as a 1st year medical student in my sophomore year of high school. Now I’m in my 1st year of college and you’re about to graduate. So proud 🥲

[@CoolsBreeze]

I hope when you graduate you'll go back and do a commentary on the video of your first week in medical school. What a tough tough journey it's been, especially through covid learning. But you made it and accomplished so much these last 4 years. What a happy ending.

[@burnt.norton]

hi! so i’m currently a senior in high school, i’ve commented this before but i don’t think i can say it enough times: viewing your journey throughout these few years has made me feel like i can achieve something similar as a first-gen college student. i’m the first person in my family to pursue medicine, and it definitely feels daunting. but i recently just got into uc san diego and uc davis and will be getting my medical assistant cert soon. i know it’s so minuscule compared to the things i’ll experience in life within the next few years but just thought i should still thank you lol, i think i can attribute a lot of my accomplishments to people like you :) hope you have a great day or night

[@RachelSouthard]

You can do it, Sam. Trust me. You can ♥️ you will.

[@benjaminjacobs5871]

[@canyounot5594]

This is so wild!! I remember watching your first vlogs of medical school :) I started watching during undergrad, and I am starting medical school this year! Your hard work, determination, dedication, and resilience make me hopeful I can do this medical school thing too. Phenomenal work Rachel!

[@Angels-3xist]

Hey. I just wanted to say I’m sorry about your guys pup. I lost my cat not long ago and it was really tough for me. I really love the graduation photos and everything about your vlogs has been both inspiring and fun and engaging. You make it easy to smile even in really tough times. What you’ve been doing lately is awesome and what your channel has always been and what it continues to be and the shape your making it all take is beautiful. Your a great reminder of how to live and you really bring everyone in this space into a better place. I always want to give advice back, but honestly your wisdom and experience and joy is just massive. I’m glad you’re here for inspiration. Everyone knows life can be brutal, the more spaces to turn that into something beautiful, the better. So yeah, I’ve got nothing insightful to say, but I want to thank you for all your insight and positivity.

[@randalibadi8922]

Congrats Rachel! You’re going to be an amazing Obgyn. Wishing you all the success and happiness in your career!

Hi Rachel! I've been following you since early 2018, before you were in medical school. I've watched your entire journey and I am so proud to see how far you've come! I'm applying this upcoming cycle I'm so anxious and worried but watching your journey has given me hope! Fingers crossed I will get an acceptance next year!

[@leliawatamaniuk3326]

You did your makeup perfect! Your happiness and confidence and sweetness shine through! Congratulations!!!

I follow you from your MCAT and today seeing you Match makes me proud so so so happy for you!!! Congratulations 🎉

[@wafamohammd1337]

I agree with Rachel of how anxious I am about my future. Always getting everything done and calculating every single moment. This reminded me how I need to slow down and give it to God to deal the rest. Thank you Rachel for always motivating and giving good vibes❤️

[@tablakaur]

hi Rachel! watching your journey has reignited my love for Medicine, as a few years when I wanted to first apply my parents were unsupportive but I owe all my thanks to KZbinrs like you, who have delighted that fire for Medicine as a current nursing student hoping to apply to Medical School soon. I love you lots, I'm wishing you all the best in OB! 🥰 Sending all the love and positive vibes from the UK

[@fran0162]

OMG Rachel...I just discovered your channel and I absolutely LOVE YOU!!! Best of luck to you on your residency!!!

[@baller6262]

I only catch your videos here and there, but I've seen enough to know that a residency program would be making a big mistake to not accept you. And I'm not even talking about your potential to succeed there (though I'm sure you'll thrive). You bring value with you everywhere you go with your personality alone. Patients will want to have you as their provider. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that you're an awesome person lol

[@RachelSouthard]

[@michelleoconnor8840]

Congratulations ❤ So excited for you and your continued journey! I teared up watching your reaction to Match Day on Instagram. It brought back memories of when I matched to my program....what an emotional journey it is. The tears are not only tears of joy at finally knowing you can do what you desired to but also in receiving that validation that, yes, I am good enough! And your humble spirit will carry you through these next stages of your career and the patients you encounter will be blessed to have you as their OBGYN

[@mariatroncosooliver8533]

Omg girly it has been a minnute since I've been in your channel. I cant belive you are done with med school I started watching your vids when it was your first week of med school and from that I've been watching on and off. Your study videos motivate me to study as i went back to school and it is much harder in my thirties but slowly I am getting there for class of 2024. Congrats on graduating Dr. Southhard🎉

Congratulations! Would you continue this social media thing or focus on residency? I'm guessing residency in your country has less than 80 hour work limits and only a few obgyn patients (less than 30 or 40 births a day?) so there's plenty of time 😆

I’ve got to admit that I think it’s odd you took graduation photos at a university you didn’t attend. It comes across as if you’re embarrassed of your Osteopathic Medicine school/program. That being said, CONGRATULATIONS on matching into OB/GYN this week!

[@RachelSouthard]

NOT AT ALL. My campus doesn’t have many spots for photos or the color palette that I wanted. Based on the photos we took, you actually wouldn’t be able to tell that they were taken at another university since the background is so blurred.
