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?

[@clarissaramirez5001]

If i could travel to one place in the world it would be Switzerland, it is so beautiful and seems so peaceful 🥺 + i really want to go on the toboggan ride 🤩

[@fatimamohamed793]

The Account is private I sent a request. I would love to travel to a place where I can be surrounded by natural or to a Medical school to start my journey.

[@hagarahmed1976]

Japaaan

[@deahalis7933]

a world tour but that's not one place xD ... I'd probably go to some Greek island lmao good luck with the exams rachel

You're such a talented editor omg! But like seriously you don't have to stay up until 2am for us pls sleep! We love your videos no matter what

[@drjennale]

Literally laying on my couch right now saying I should really get up and edit my videos right now .... but my body is so heavy 😬 damn Parkinson’s law

Parkinson’s law is literally the WORST thing ever. 😭😭

[@shaydelre1898]

I guess I'm officially part of the Herd, I've never actually set a youtube reminder before LOL. Using this hour to study hardcore, then my reward is The Rachel Show. And coffee with caramel!

[@Sara-hj7en]

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.

[@kristinsandoval3256]

Love how realistic your vids are! no sugar coating anything

[@l.m.5319]

Lmao who remembers that first week of med scl blog where she said she was going to go to bed at 9 or 10pm each night 😂😂

[@phillewis3180]

🤣😂

[@isidoooora]

This and the study technique video are my favorites ones so far. youre doing great!!

[@lindsayhartje6678]

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!

[@ameracouture4803]

I am so proud of you Rachel, keep going girl!!!! you are amazinggggggggggggg

[@Jose-cu3ff]

super honest video. thank you for your honesty.

[@maddshhh]

I love watching these types of vlogs! They really get me motivated to study, plus I live for the coffee edits you do! 😍😊

[@sophiaallen]

thank you so much for finding the time to make these videos for us. seriously makes my day

[@emiloberg2110]

Omg that ending transition! You are so good at editing! Thank you for putting out these videos, you keep me so motivated! Good luck with your finals🥰

[@stephbrinkhurst5465]

Your editing is getting so good!!!! Love you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@WittyKitten]

Good luck! Glad you're taking care of yourself and your mental health. Seems like quarantine has gotten everyone in a bad state, thank you for always bringing good vibes!

[@bellabonilla1]

i loved this new style of editing that you did sooo much!! good luck on ur finals rachel!!

[@srilatha2212]

THAT TRANSITION IN THE END WAS LIT,u really truly inspire me rachel :)

[@erikasuseth]

Your videos are such a great treat. I love ending my busy week with them! Thank you for being so positive, and thank you for motivating me to do my best 😌

[@lissarose123]

love you rachel!! you keep me motivated, love your videos so much. stay awesome!!

[@rawanradwan718]

You're literally the reason I stay motivated to study and continue to work hard. I'm just a freshman in premed but sometimes it can get overwhelming and stressful so thank you sm for these vids!! :'))

[@yasmeennatalia1026]

I’m guessing your finals are this week so GOOD LUCK Rachel!!! You’ve prepared so much and done the best you can do. We all believe in you 💛

[@mariofox321]

loved this style of video rachel! Sad it was short but we understand that you're really busy :). Keep being amazing!

[@nethus1635]

Hi rachee... I watched your videos during my exam weeks to keep up my mind on studies.. thank you for doing this.

[@alexiarae7674]

Oh my goodness, this video was soooo amazing. The transitions were so good, the voice over was seamless. I was looking forward to this video all day! Definitely gave me the motivation to take a much needed nap lol.

[@tmeireles95]

Your videos are so good 💘 wish you the best!

[@smc8880]

I truly admire your raw authenticity, it's refreshing, you're going to be a wonderful physician:)

[@DrAdamHotchkiss]

Rachelllll! You’re crushing it. So awesome to watch you continue to grow!!

[@leliawatamaniuk3326]

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 ;)

[@InspiredLifesyle.]

Loved this format of video 💞

[@mackenzievandoorn5861]

It's so nice to see these kinds of videos. Most other med student videos I have watched, they are all so stoic and formal about everything.

[@zilpavdighada4673]

I LOVED THIS VIDEO, like your content is so different and I'm here for it! Also, the switch from voiceover to video was ～smooth～

[@lilgreenbeany7122]

This has officially made my day!!! You have reignited the fire in me and kept me motivated on my pre med journey. I’m extremely grateful for you and your videos. It’s helpful to see that someone else also has their good and bad days! Keep doing what you’re doing and I’m happy to be apart of the herd!!!

[@dominiquehayduk9692]

Loved this! Massively realistic med school week. Keep it up, Rachel!

[@candy20953]

Hey rachel! I'm trying to motivate myself to pass the SAT and start my bachelors in biology. I just wanted to say your videos are the motivation I need to overcome the stress and laziness of studying and keep going! Love you!

[@k.alynn0]

Liked this style of video a lot!!! Thanks for giving us an inside look!! ❤️

[@izabela1035]

love this format !!!

[@introvert.1425]

Nah girl this is awesome I just loved it so so much. This is perfect. And I've gotta say the red ant is SO CUTE❤❤❤❤

[@boother258]

Just wanna say as a 2nd year med student as well, props to you for spending your so tiny amount of "free" time on editing. I can never convince myself to do productive things in my time off at the end of the day. Mad will power and props to ya! Also I feel that endless anki grind.. omg. Anking/Zanki is the best and worst thing to ever happen to me

[@mariac.9117]

I dunno why but your voice over is amazing! 😆 love you Rachel!!!

[@nilleyi2231]

Congrats on the 150k , I remember when you were on your first year 🥺💛

[@SARA-fl3du]

So proud of you when you said you deserve that break ❤😌

[@mmayaaa_]

I prefer your daily vlogs I love them! And I’d like you to tell us a little bit of how you organize and set up your to do list I always get lost and don’t know what to write. Keep going!💗

[@alinaandronache4040]

Med student here and I can totally relate! But in the end, there is no better feeling than succeeding at your finals, I think this is what keep us going. Definitely want more videos like this!

[@zymriedobratiqi3303]

Hiiii beautiful Rachel! Can’t wait to see it! Love you💕

[@farzonamasaidova2269]

Hey I am from Uzbekistan and really love your videos, they help and support me a lot❤️ thank you for that work that you doing for us💋🤗

[@allisonjohnson2360]

Great job on the video this week, Rachel! Thanks for motivating me to get back to work haha. Proud to be part of the herd

[@erinwooge5455]

Good luck on final girl!! You’ll nail them!

[@arwamunsour4521]

Hey I'm a barely surviving first year medstudent. Thank you for this video it inspired me so much to get the hang of this online mess, it's been tough.

[@SunnySimmer80]

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)

[@marlenakomatz2313]

Anytime I’m feeling unmotivated to do schoolwork Rachel always has a way of keeping me going :,)

[@charlleedodson]

Good luck with your finals! I’m only taking one class this semester due to Covid, but after your videos I have the urge to study

[@silverskater558]

You are such a hard worker, I feel like you need a helper to edit your videos so you can balance your time. I hope you are doing great. Your study videos are very helpful

[@randomgaygirl]

Yesterday I also watched a few videos of yours and you said "something isn't a rejection, it's just not a match" and this helped me sooo much thank you. You are so positive I always feel so motivated and I have so much respect for all the work you're putting into your studies! love ya

[@userx3342]

I always feel like i have to watch the video once again after the premiere ends, just to enjoy. because why not?

[@steffiesbeauty]

Yes I love this format!

[@sandyrgz7932]

This was pure motivation for my final examen on Monday. Love you Rachel ❤️

[@dariaa6828]

My gosh Rachel you're amazing. I enjoy your videos so much! Stayed up till 2am to edit for us! WOW the dedication. I appreciate you alot! Red ant heard !!!!!! Wooooooo

[@ShemaVarghese]

You are the best! Thanks for being real 🥰❤️

[@Jcrosay]

Dude I can't even imagine the stress. Especially with managing a KZbin account on top of it all. I'm a paramedic, soon to be bachelor of science in nursing student, and I keep you medical students in the back of my mind when I think that I have it hard. So much respect for you!

[@libby9001]

I watched your first week of med school vlog before this one and DANG you have grown so much as a person in just a year

[@cindynativi8258]

Loved this video

[@Teely17]

you motivate me! Keep going girl you got this!!!

[@kimm3521]

Love this style of video. I hope you did well on your exam. Be well.

[@robel4555]

Goodluck on your Finals!!! You got this Rachel :)

[@neha2714]

love the style of the video😍😍

[@hagarahmed1976]

I hava a human biology exam within a week and I was so exhausted from studying for it and the previous exam so this video was a great motivation for me + good luck in your exams rachel💜. PS: I'm do much in love with the "okay bye" part of every video it's everything.

[@ykhmwrex]

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♥

[@dianasalgado3226]

That transition tho!! That was so smooth I was caught off guard! Love your content Rachel and always sending prayers your way! I look forward to your videos every Friday! Gob bless! : )

Love these! Thank you!!!

[@JoshB-zc5jb]

The production quality is so good 👍!

[@taylorhole7963]

Oh my gosh! Your voice was so smooth and the video was put together so well! Go Rachel go! I did not feel like that was a 6 minute video with how seamlessly it flowed!

[@RachelSouthard]

Awh thank you. It took 6 hrs to edit hahaha

LOVE this style video!! Could you give us more detail on how you study for finals? Vet school finals are getting closer for me and I am trying to get a head start on studying😬

[@arriiiiii]

omg sammeeee w bagels hitting the spot lately!!!! Good luck on finals ♥️

[@danyadler9177]

I love u gurllll plus i really want to be a medical student, ur videos makes me feel so motivated ilyy🥺

[@MrsJonas151]

Loved this kind of video! Hope finals are treating you good ❤️. I’m off to study now taking embryo this week 😬👶🏻

[@ralidimitrova2662]

Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. Honestly editing takes a while and I know as a medical student you don’t really have the time for these stuff.

[@jessicarangel7200]

Really enjoyed this video!! As a premed student, I was worried that in medical school from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep all I would do is study. Which I am aware there is lotsss of studying and some days/weeks will really be like this. But your channel has showed me it doesn't always have to be that way :)

[@judyzheng9257]

Thank you for taking time to post / edit videos , out of your very extremely busy schedule already, Rachel!

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank YOU for watching them:)

[@bibliomedico8538]

This is such a GREAT video 😍😍😍

[@hibahussain8792]

Hey! I love your videos.. especially that ‘okay bye’ at the end is just love 🥺❤️ Also, can you make a video on how to stay focus when studying?

[@tareqbnyan1919]

I hope you contribute to my humble channel and we apologize for the watermark

[@maryhamm6970]

I saw your upcoming video on burn out. You’ll get through this. I wish I could give you a huge hug.

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you Mary

[@youneverknow7274]

As a person who grew up in Asia, it’s very interesting to see a person study in the dim light.

[@ds993]

Your literally the most inspring person ever - watching u ever since ur first vid! U motivated me to apply for medschool and i got in 😊

[@RachelSouthard]

OMG CONGRATS!!!

[@witwickyworld8416]

All the support Rachel, a wonderful content

[@martypartygirlypop]

I would really love if you made a video on work/life balance, self care habits, not feeling bad about socializing etc. if that's possible! I'm in grad school and am struggling with that at the moment. I'm sure I'm not the only one!
