[@jenna9372]

Idk if you already posted about testing positive and I missed it, but I just found out from the title to this video 😭 get well soon, Soony!

[@abbylee118]

Get well soon Soony!!!

[@FataLity1200]

I live in Australia, and I've never felt luckier to be where I'm from since covid has basically become nonexistent in my city recently...these videos are a good eye-opener for us in AUS/NZ and other people in asian countries who are resuming with their normal lives really. Stay strong and take care! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

[@NadiaAlyssa]

I KNOWWW IM A TAD BIT LATE TO THE PARTY, but i am 99.99% sure that Q.7 was the question i asked you on instagram even though it was quite a few weeks back. I’m surprised my memory still works 😂😂 anyway I ss u wearing your favourite sweater there soony 👀👀

[@nidanursinanoglu4673]

You said YOU ARE NOT SINGLE. We would love to hear more ;D If you want to, of course...

[@agnieszkalino8658]

"I'm just existing right now" . This literally describes how I feel so well lol

[@MissSarah1705]

It's exactly just like in France about friendships and seeing the true face of people in medschool. A lot of med students just don't care and keep partying. I even found out that a second year got covid but didn't get tested because she didn't want to isolate and kept coming to the library and working room in my building 😩 People are so selfish. Anyways I hope you'll be ok, I got my smell and taste back in 9 days so I hope you'll recover as fast 😊

[@SoonySun]

yeah people have massively different opinions on covid... i guess it's just accepting that some friendships will end, and that's okay. thank you :)

im only about to finish my first ever semester in med school and realized that hardwork doesn't always equate to results that reflect how much effort you put into a certain project/task :( hang in there soony, i wish for your pillows to stay fluffed and your blankets to be warm

[@nxstellar3691]

Soony, I just wanted to let you know how incredibly helpful your content has been to me, and to countless others. I love how realistic you are when talking about life, problems and etc, as it comforts me to know that I'm not the only one who's struggling with these problems whether it be productivity or keeping track of time (we don't talk about her). THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU!

[@SoonySun]

thank you, seriously! sometimes i feel really unmotivated when it comes to youtube, and your comment makes me feel like there's some value (other than monetary LOL) in making vids :) you're very welcome!

Im in the same situation as you right now. 4th year med student, caught covid, self isolating and my country's (Portugal) health system is on the verge of collapsing. Stay strong and get well soon!

[@rachelchew5102]

Honestly, this video has been the most relatable video ever! We know what we have to do and probably would give the best advice to others but low-key struggling ourselves 24/7

I hope you’re okay!! You can do this queen!!! Loveyou!!! 🖤✨

[@huumattham]

I'm an engineering student but still get extremely struggled by the imposter syndrome. I even bursted into tears several times in my online classes when I didn't perform academically like I expected. And the guilty feelings I have when watching series, playing video games, etc is enormous. It's my finals week now, and for 2 days I watched your video multiple times to save me from depression. Your sharing is wonderfull, Soony. It's extremely great to know there is someone who feels like me and they openly discuss about it without hesitation. I want to send you a hug if you're not feeling great, as a gift to thank you for the huge peace/ease in my mind I received from watching your videos.

[@damilola]

I tested positive for covid too & I haven’t gotten my sense of smell back yet )): hope you get better soon Soony!

[@SoonySun]

hope it comes back quickly!

[@damilola]

@@SoonySun thank you🥺

[@forever_moonchild1457]

I just wanna say thank you sooo much for answering these questions. You deserve soooo much more attention and praise for this and sooo many more people need to see this. Once again, thank you so much for your time and keeping us informed 💗

[@angelicationgson4785]

I'm not sure if my childhood played a part with developing impostor syndrome, but recently I found out that I often find myself perceiving achievement as a sort of obligation rather than a celebratory thing. Looking back, my parents did commend me for a job well done, especially when it was big. But, of course, asian parents being asian, the expectations just get higher and higher so it was a constant race to prove myself to others. So yeah, each achievement feels like a task crossed off the list instead of a milestone.

[@hriatpuiivlhp444]

my heart cried a bit when you said you didn't look forward to anything anymore :( i hope you feel so much better Soony sending love and positive vibes your way~

[@keisilog]

also, what? my boyfriend is an infj too, and you both almost have the same vibe and energy! ♡ i hope ure doing well, soony! ily ♡

[@Alice-bk4kt]

12:27 i can’t relate more in my lifeeeeeee Actually not only med school is toxic but youtube is toxic and some of my teachers are toxic literally ! They keep telling us that doing something other then studying is “non-productive” and same for youtube ! Literally most if not all of the youtubers show us the most productive days in their life i mean good for them but they sometimes make me feel bad about my self for not being as productive as they are or not studying as much as they do . Idk but the whole idea of productivity has been killing me lately and i dont know how to get over it .

[@esha5046]

get well soon soony!!! i was so happy when i saw ur upload notification, your videos are one of the things keeping me sane

[@allthelovetish3080]

awww love! I’m wishing and praying healing upon you 🥺 we are all here to support you in this crazy journey

[@geminiteair]

it was really nice that you did a Q&A video, but make sure to get yourself the rest needed 🥺 for me, listening to my fav music helps me to brighten my mood or even to just cry over so maybe that would help u a bit ❤️

[@SoonySun]

thanks so much for this :) ❤️

[@Mel-oc7pi]

hey soony! congrats on almost graduating!! very excited and happy for you, proud of you for holding on and sticking out through what must be very tough, gruelling years also thanks for being so so honest in your vids especially with your own personal stuff that you didn't have to share but you did anyway, i really appreciate that :) - mel :) i'm going to continue watching this video now, but i just wanted to say that ^^

[@Mel-oc7pi]

[@yingxyang95]

I feel you re: COVID ruining friendships. I live with & take care of my grandma and obviously am super careful re: exposure because I'm not trying to kill her!! but so many of my friends (honestly med students are the worst tbh) really don't give a fuck and are out here traveling in a pandemic???!! and they want to meet up and hang out - hell no. I haven't interacted with anyone outside my immediate household in 10 months. so yea people are selfish and suck :/

[@hiba4782]

Honestly, this panasonic has also defo made me see people differently and I'm so glad im living alone now. Also the question about censorship is interesting. I wanna see more content online about taboo med student things e.g Party culture, drugs, the discrimination some students inflict on each other but I'm also way too scared to talk about it myself online.
