Also she's fit

[@sohakhan5167]

Isabel Itoga so basically, she's perfect!

[@YoungMacdonald]

howwwwww I barely have energy for any other stuff and i'm only studying at the time :/

[@nhily4757]

Isabel Itoga she has workout routine as her passion too

[@abcdefu780]

She's awesome

[@chanukiranasinghe5643]

1) turn your phone/notifications off 2) plan what to study 3) schedule your caffeine wisely 4) schedule your breaks and stick to it 5) leave your study area when you are on break

[@MonkeyDLuffy-xr4fl]

I love how you portray the REAL thing for studying medicine! I thought I was just crazy, with books all over my bed, and sometimes studying for seven hours straight. People around me just keep insisting that the amount of studying I do is for nothing, and as a girl I should just stick to the mundane cooking and cleaning routine with minimal studying (yeah, clearly people around me don't value education very much!) You show what most don't, honestly, you're awesome!

[@Sandra-jv7jt]

I can totally relate to this. People say I exaggerate when I say I study for 7-8 hours straight and only go out once a week. I'm taking patho and other classes for nursing school and it irks me when other people tell me they only study 3-4 hours a day. I need way more than that.

[@samyukthaashokkumar7852]

I'm doing an econ major as well ! this is so relatable :P haha

[@jerad248]

I know... Sometimes my room is a mess because I literally have no time to cook or clean anything. The cooking part especially since I live in a common area and I have to carry tons of things all the way to the kitchen and back. Sigh. This is very relatable.

[@Lulu-ci9wh]

[@varshinis1074]

Maybe you should make a video about how to concentrate for such long hours... it would help people who can hardly concentrate for an hour...

If you want to skip ahead to the actual tips on staying focused while studying, skip to 3:40

Thanks ya

[@shaileshupadhyay3920]

Thanks

[@Marielle032796]

I've always had this fire in me to apply for med school but somewhere along the way, that fire was slowly dying. However ,since I started watching your videos, i've been really reconsidering med school. #sharingmythoughts 😊

[@ilsegabrielahernandez]

Marielle V same!!! Currently a nursing student.

[@sherrylin7041]

Ilse Rebolledo omg me too! I'm graduating in may but currently apply to post-bacc pre Ned programs!

[@hannaxoxo12]

Marielle V i'm currently 1st yr med, its fun and interesting and great. But theres a lot of stress, you have to be really good with time management in order to survive 1st yr. Ive got finals in 2 months, and I've started studying for now.

[@dreammore1589]

I am an English teacher in a primary school but I subscribed because you are so positive and inspiring girl ;))

[@siianxie6882]

Your videos are oddly addictive to me, can't stop watching :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Yay

[@jennifergarza2307]

I love how you always include awesome coffee intros. You should definitely make a quick food video that includes your favorite caffeine beverages to stay awake during studying. Love your videos :)

[@mariishu0shamiimi]

I normally never comment, but you're amazing and you're always so positive :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+mariishu0shamiimi thanks for stopping by :) I try my best to stay positive haha

[@jasminekaursidhu6211]

[@amandaruggieri1548]

Watching a video on tips for studying instead of studying... fantastic

[@RumbiTheMedic]

The tip about turning your phone off is such a great one! The amount of time I waste scrolling instagram is crazy!

[@jadel1927]

How do you keep yourself from getting distracted? Sometimes I just cannot get myself to study because I just would rather be doing so many other things. Basically, how do you stay motivated and self disciplined?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I totally understand! I think having specific goals (for me: doing well on the board exam) helps a lot. Think about specific grades you might want for an exam/class and how it fits into your bigger goals.... good luck!

[@jadel1927]

+TheStriveToFit thank you!!

[@mariamabelcolladoexposito8932]

Im studying medicine at DR and im on my 6th semester. let me tell u, u´re a roll model to me...thanks for sharing all your study tips and all the balancing between your med school life and your personal life. i really admire your organization. Hope some day i could be that organized. kisses from Santo Domingo.

[@mariamabelcolladoexposito8932]

[@twinklinglena]

The editing here is awesome! Totally excited to see another video from you! 👏🏻❤️

[@maite7833]

[@alimagdy2685]

Maite Ramos personally i do work out 4 times in week

Story of my life

[@kayleen6834]

With the stress of medical school, along with a healthy diet & getting enough sleep, how do you maintain such a BEAUTIFUL skin care complexion? Love your videos!

[@angelicab.8334]

So happy you mentioned that app. Watching your video was me procrastinating from studying for a midterm. Glad I watched this though! KZbin is my weakness.

[@ccpizzaaac2391]

I am only in middle school but I am trying to apply your tips for studying now that way when I am studying to be a doctor in college it is easier for me

[@tilelli.]

I love your videos so much! and I feel happy whenever I see that you posted a new one, you're such a hardworking and an inspiring girl! I wish you all the best and I wish i can make it to Med school next year. lots of love to you from Morocco 💙

[@justjoelee]

Awesome video! Used textbooks are definitely way to go haha I remember caffeine pills, self-control app and snack breaks being my life during finals , keep up the awesome content!

[@lydiaknox9041]

I always get so excited when you upload a new video!!! 💕

I'm beyond excited to finish my nursing degree because of the fresh start I'll be given. After four years in the Air Force I'm ready to put down the wrench and pick up the pencil and make something more of myself! Loved the video. Thanks for the study techniques

[@fatima-xs6sn]

[@TheStrivetoFit]

thank you!!

[@EktaMallya]

I know how difficult it is to be a medical student. i really enjoy your videos and watch them when i take a break or when i need motivation. i really would like to know how you manage your personal life(relationships,vacations,family) with professional?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

this would be a great topic for a future video! thanks for the suggestion :)

[@EktaMallya]

+TheStriveToFit Looking forward to it 😊

[@valerykaravasilev6397]

the greatest info that i've had was with the Magic Focus Plan (i found it on google) - definately the most incredible method that I've seen.

[@salsabilhena8898]

All of your tips are so relevant and I think regardless of what major one is, they can benefit from this!

[@Wid]

Yes I'd love to watch your workout routine

[@charlieinfra92]

I'm in Med 6th year in Spain and this is one of the best videos you uploaded. Really useful and seriously recomended :)

[@koyunzhen]

Yes!! Please post about your gym routine too!!!💪🏽

[@GeGeAngel94]

Thank you for posting so much information in the description box. Super helpful! You are also very inspiring, I hope you continue to do well and get where you want to go.

[@arricechanel]

I really really enjoy your vlogs! I'm starting medical school this July and watching your vlogs help to calm my nerves and make me even more excited to start this journey... so thank you!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

[@rndfa4107]

watching your videos is what I do during my study break. you really keep me motivated! love from the Philippines 💕

[@kksmd888]

I'd love to see your workout routine :))

[@Chantal_o]

You are so organized. I just love to watch your videos and plan my life from them. You are really a motivation to we medical students. Thank you so much for existing 💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@dinahabassi5680]

Hey Jamie! Please a post a video demonstrating how you study in a way to absorb the most information as possible! would be so helpful. Thanks

[@chh1058]

thank you for telling us about the self control app!!! I wish I would've known of it sooner! You're awesome 😆

[@vandanaveeraiah1422]

This is what I needed to watch right now. I have my medical first year finals in 2 weeks.

[@Booksurfs]

this girl is goals all around. ☺️

[@bonnie7287]

I love famous dave's too! They have entrée menu, comes with a little bit of everything. The portion is huge so we always bring a lot of leftover food to home. But they are the best bbq place that I like in America so far! And the tips were really helpful! Thanks!

[@mskyny2214]

You are so organized i try to be and i become plane and simply ALL over the place. I have learned a lot from you keep up the great work. You are going top be awesome!

[@ines4603]

I love love love your videos !! One of my favorite things to watch when I finish my study sessions

[@MonLeAmour]

How does your planner look like? or do you use digital one? Btw thank you so much for the SelfControl App tip, I keep getting distracted when i'm behind my laptop so this would help a lot.

[@guest765293318]

I recently found your channel, watching a few videos here and there and I have to say, they're AMAZING. I'm applying for medical school but here in the UK, and your videos have been really helpful to keep me motivated. I like that you're down to earth and calm when you explain things - you'll make a pro doctor. Also let us know your workout routine!! (My other passion too!)

[@DoctorDan]

Great job with this video! Just discovered your channel, excited to see all of your other videos!

[@xnln]

omg so lucky getting free med textbooks, the ones in australia are so expensive! i just started medical school vlogging :)

[@denariuswright8284]

thanks I so needed this....yeah its so imperative to strategize about what youre studying beforehand

[@Sheistenzin]

love love love all your videos! thank you Jamie.

[@jorgedelagarza8897]

Jamie you are such a blessing, keeping me motivated and inspired always. These videos are immensely helpful. Thanks for all that you do ! You're going to be an amazing Doctor :)

[@frontlinebreakthrough5723]

The tip about leaving your study space is I think, something I’ll definitely try. I live in a single room at the residence of my college, so, my breaks end up being in my study area, and yeah. Them study breaks tend to roll out quite awfully into these hour long guilt trips. Ill comment later on how it goes

[@athirahXD]

Your editing is awesome!! Subbed 😍

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thanks! Welcome to the channel :)

[@yosnad]

Your videos are so aesthetically pleasing, never stop them please haha!

[@apinyapree6586]

You revise your lessons everyday? Do you have enough time to do something else? I cannot organize my time😫😖

[@jeneralgod]

Apinya preecha-anan do you have a job? Anything can get you in a way

[@anabellei]

i don't know how to make sure that i'm ready for my exam, i have this knowledge insecurity, i'm first year in medical school :) hope you have some tipis you're so great and you should definitely share your work out passion with us :)

[@nikagh4340]

hey can you make a video about your fitness routine in detail? how do you choose your exercises for each day of the week? and what do you eat before and after working out?

[@analiciacecilia6348]

Leaving the room tip for breaks is on point

[@olgapawlik474]

also can you show us your workout/ diet routine

[@lizwidner1208]

And btw I just downloaded self control, and I'm suuper stoked to start using it! I definitely get distracted with watching stuff on the internet!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing the link :)

[@natalieteodosiu3223]

Thanks for the tips! This couldn't have come at a better time for me ... Studying for finals for massage therapy this week.

[@lizwidner1208]

Great video, Jamie!!! I always love watching your vids and learning all of these great tips from you! :)

[@stevenxie2142]

Can you make a video about your med school interview process/tips? Love your videos!! They keep me motivated to finish these applications :)

[@irinavlasova1641]

thank you for these tips! I procrastinate A LOT =(

[@jessicajakhu2374]

I was studying for bio and i just talked to a friend about how im not focusing and just saw this! Perfect timing for this video☺️🙈

[@jessicajakhu2374]

How do you keep yourself from being stressed? I have exams coming up and everytime i try to study i get so overwhelmed by the amount of items i need to check off in the day! love watching your videos btw💖☺️

[@girlswhodrone2154]

Thank you for always listing the items mentioned in the description box :)

[@aviationetwork]

I don't ever plan to go to Med school, but this was soo useful! Subscribed :)

[@luisalfonzogonzalez2265]

I am gonna use these advises so much! I think that recently I am procrastinating a lot and it is affecting my time for doing other things during the day... So I am not really getting things done. Thanks for your help!

[@DoctorNikkiP]

Love your vlogs! Hope all the studying is going well!

[@AngelaWay29]

You give me so much inspiration

[@nikiann8230]

Thank you for the Body Minder journal tip! I've been looking for a comprehensive place to log my workouts! Good luck on boards!

[@chiacha6824]

OMG thanks! I'll need to try this. Can you do a video on how or what keeps you motivate to keep up with medical school?

[@thulaganyomaphakwane4045]

U are realllyy disciplined! You go girl!

[@abhinavreddy6302]

another great video, as always. Thanks a lot JAMIE, YOU ROCK!

[@DhiviBoy]

Nice vlog, I'm preparing for the South African board exams at the moment! All the best in your studies and I hope you nail the exam.

These tips were super helpful! It has helped me a lot seeing how you organize your self I needed the motivation! :)

[@pmendapara]

These videos are very motivational! Thank you making them! I love your work ethic lol, I am studying for my mcats on June 18th as well so it keeps me on track haha

[@monahnasr9672]

Impressed with your level of professionalism ! Thanks for the motivation. (Pre-med here)

[@ixjessicaxb]

although i may not be going to medical school, you really motivate me to study better and apply to PA school :) thank you!

[@kaitlynkilpatrick36]

studying for pharmacology, orgo 2, genetics and nutrition, so I needed this!

[@raechelcedillo1610]

Another big thing that I've found to be really helpful is a week before an exam or if you have have several that week, or projects etc. Delete you social media, you'd be amazed how much work you get done when you don't have Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter to distract you! (As you can see I wasted so much time lol)

[@CHERRELL17]

Yes put the phone away ! May it disappear while studying! Great study tip, thank you 😊 ☺️

[@Anna-de4mu]

I ❤️your video!!! I really liked the barbecue grill, the food and the work out video. Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it. It was short and to the point!🌸🌺👍

[@whatever99697]

your motivation and positivity inspires me thank you i love your videos

[@danielpepers8278]

amazing! your vids definitely inspire me! Your vids are like the base of the aesthetic I want for mine

[@woopimiku4673]

I am going to watch only these kind of videos ...I am rejuvenated !!!

[@sidseovergaardknudsen1304]

I would loove to see how you 'enter' the books.. Sounds so simple but would be so helpful and a great inspiration for me to see. When you open the book and know what to study, then - what? How do you progress? How do you process the knowledge for the first time? Thanks girl

[@trmmzie]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO SO MUCH. IT GIVES ME MOTIVATION WHEN IM DOWN OR FEELING LAZY. GOODLUCK!!!

[@phuonganh6896]

Struggling with my massive amount of homework now :( Thanks God I found your channel...while studying erh

[@leunghebe6720]

SO nice to see you at the videos! Can you put more about studying efficiency ?

[@adelia_PA]

These videos have me so excited for the next school year... and I just got out of school yesterday! I will be a freshman next year! Any tips?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

freshman in college? good luck!! best thing to do is do well in school and see if you can get a volunteer position at a local hospital if you're interested in going to med school!

[@peytonsmith8441]

Yes post more about workouts/healthy eating etc. p.s. love your channel

[@peytonsmith8441]

also, can you do a "what's on my iPhone video"
