[@justinlee676]

love your videos! I'm an MS2 right now and your videos are very insightful! cannot wait for my 3rd year of med school! god bless!

[@linzhuo3099]

can't wait on your video of how to take notes. Been following all your tips this sem and i can see a massive change

[@venezia2466]

Yay rewatching your old vlogs hehe finding motivation in pursuing my dreams...

[@rosalyndhilliard1278]

So glad I found your channel! Its really helpful and informative, I'm applying for veterinary school though, but it was super hard finding any youtube videos made by vet students that weren't songs or made by the school. Love all the tips and vlogs, keep it up!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Welcome to the channel! And good luck with your vet school apps!

[@elenadelgadoEHS1]

Thank you Jamie. Loved the tips on fast lunches.

[@PinkCharm1991]

Oh, I absolutely love your pineapple dress. Pineapple is my favorite. :) Really love the content that you provide and the calmness you are surrounded with is just so inspiring. Looking forward to seeing your new videos. All the best, and keep up the good work. Greetings from Serbia. :)

[@gracep5977]

That will be great if you do more videos of you studying it is a great motivation to see someone else studying for hours. It is cool to see what you do outside of medical school but I would love to see the studying process as well. Be blessed

[@mzmagenta21]

Loved the time lapse of you studying! It would be great if you could make more of those!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

Thanks! will try to add more

[@jeneseJonEs]

love your vlogs!always looking forward to these!!!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

thank you so much!

[@conbonkim]

Love the wine with the writing! I have that same problem of just getting everything out 😄 Thanks for all the videos even though you're busy! Good luck with your SHELFs!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

thanks! yeah a little bit of wine can really help sometimes haha

[@andreaandrea6782]

I am currently studying for an exam which I'll have in about 2 weeks. The day that your new vlog is released, I tend to set as a goal to study a big part of the material and if I reach it, I can get to watch your new vlog as a reward. You keep me motivated! Thanks a lot ;-)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

aww wow I feel really honored. Good luck with your exam! I'm sure all your hard work will pay off!

[@talabaidas9025]

Love your work, I really can't wait for the "how to take notes"

[@TheStrivetoFit]

stay tuned! coming out saturday, august 13th 12pm EST!

[@evelyngartstein8496]

Love your videos and how you film/edit them! I'm a premed student and your videos always inspire me! :)

[@FabyGlam]

Hi! Love the vlogs and the pineapple dress is sooo pretty!! Love it! About the movies, I'm surprised a beautiful mind was not added to the list. It's the best schizophrenia movie I've ever seen. Also, Requiem for a Dream is the best/scariest movie I've seen about addictions in general. I learned a lot from it but also left me a little bit scared lol Thank you for you videos, always helpful, positive and inspiring :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I really enjoyed A Beautiful Mind as well! I haven't watched Requiem for a Dream but I've heard great things. I think those movies probably have been on the list in the past or will be on the list in the future since they do cover some great psych themes. thanks for stopping by and saying hello :)

[@nstk8592]

Just found your youtube channel last night :) love some videos and i haven't finished watching them all. Can you make a video about your study desk? :) Looking forward to it. xoxo

[@all4honor]

I really do miss the challenge of school and being in the academic settings. Ty

[@Charmingfate]

Love your bike Sooo cuteee!!! Want one just like it ☺️☺️

[@JC94022]

I love your videos! ☺️ I'm super curious, where is your everyday jewelry from (earrings +necklace)? They are gorgeous!

[@twinklinglena]

Love the pineapple dress😘❤️

[@RemyVaunnD]

When the beggining of the vlog look like a music video.... Yep I'm here for it lol...

[@piccuh]

I feel like Fight Club is absolutely a case of dissociative identity disorder, but that has already been covered by Seven. My second guess would be major depressive disorder developing into bipolar disorder (mixed episode), possibly with grandiose delusions? It's been a while since I've seen these movies! I would also recommend Secret Window. :)

[@alexkonstantinou4782]

you made me ridiculously happy right now :))

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+Alex Blom awww thanks for watching 💕💕

[@etharalsulami8925]

I love ur channel, and I am a med school student too, so Can you make more videos about second year at med school, tips to enjoy studying, and how we can control stress.

[@TheStrivetoFit]

hi! I have a video on comparing 1st & 2nd year of medical school which might have information that you're looking for. I will try to address some of the other topics in future videos!

[@senoriaaa]

all your videos are so well edited. *xMx*

[@TheStrivetoFit]

thank you

[@aakritikashyap6803]

lots of love ..❤️

[@twonames8440]

I can't believe Black Swan isn't on your movie list for psych.

[@zahramubaarak1408]

love your videos so much

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+Xx justabitofmagic thank you!! 😄

[@juliusverkovich6025]

Omg you should watch Gone Girl fits perfectly in that list of movies 😱

[@kmahaa5603]

[@adfbgpaisrhga]

Thank you always! & 🍍

[@TheStrivetoFit]

🍍🍍 snapchat!

[@loy9406]

Love your glasses! What brand are they and girl keep up the good work!!

[@DoctorNikkiP]

So great that you had a chance to film :) Psychiatry is a really interesting rotation, do you think that watching those films helps with how you'll practice as a doctor?

[@naciyebetulbarut2150]

i am waiting for q&a video ☺☺

[@TheStrivetoFit]

coming soon! :D

[@dianobrs8564]

I think i felt in love with your music taste. Can u make a Spotify playlist?

[@traciprovins3221]

+ can you do a morning routine/3rd year weekday routine video?? Obviously it would be a HIPAA violation to film in te hospital but perhaps a "day in the life??" I wait all week for your vids!

[@AntigoniKoutsianou]

I love love love your vlogs! I recommend to you a mini-series called "Code of a Killer". It talks about DNA finger prints and how they find a murder by using that method. :)

[@rumshah]

I had a question on your research project: So do you publish them in a science journal and is it basically your opinion or theory of the topic? Could you explain the research projects in general? Thank You!

[@stephaniegreen5287]

Great video as always! I watched your video on anki and just downloaded it for the new school year? I was wondering if you know if I can download audio to use so it can speak the pronunciation of the language I'm trying to learn while using it? Thanks!

[@MarizaaaT]

wow i love your pineapple dress so much! it looks amazing on you :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

thanks so much! on sale from Ann Taylor!

[@MarizaaaT]

+TheStriveToFit definitely going to take a look at that, thanks for the info!

[@utubeloverfan]

Could you talk more about research/ how necessary it is to do in college? I'm not particularly fond of working in a lab but I heard that it is something med schools look for?

[@failyourwaytothetop]

On a personal note: Is it difficult having a relationship with someone who is not in med school? Many doctors marry doctors. My cousin an anesthesiologist married a pediatrician. Two nephrologists I drove for married each other. Two family residents I knew also the same. I wonder if that would eventually be a stress point due to the huge differential. Wage differences, work differences, position differences etc

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I think it probably depends on the couple. I don't know the exact statistics but my guess is there are just as many if not more doctors who are married to non-physicians. Some doctors say it's nice to be married to someone who understand their work, etc and others say it's nice to come home and talk to someone who has an entirely different set of interests and a career that's their own. I'm sure there are pros and cons to both sides.

[@failyourwaytothetop]

+TheStriveToFit Ok thanks. Love your vlogs. I'm enjoying your success along with you. I guess I speak for all of us when I say your success is our success since you share this with us. You motivate us all.

[@julieguenette2947]

@TheStriveToFit What's the name of the song in the beginning? I cheked on the playlist but I cant find it :/ Love your chanel by the way, thank you so much! :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

it's rhastafarian by audionautix :)

[@KarenKhronicles]

Snap fam!!

[@evangeliamaleskou6338]

thanks for being like a big sister to meeee

[@jamiemandap7167]

What's the psych correlation with paranormal activity? I wanna know!!

[@jannatfkan]

Which medical school do you attend? Love your videos! Keep up the good work :)

[@traciprovins3221]

Love your vlogs! So inspiring! Thanks for taking the time to share all this info! I am starting med school in a couple weeks- can you offer one piece of advice?? Do you recommend taking all notes through notability? I always comment but never get a response :( I know you are so busy though! :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

So sorry for missing your comments before! I think notability is great for keeping all your lectures (pdfs and power point slides) together and organized but I found myself not really looking through them again except when I wanted to look something up specifically. This is mostly because some professors have lectures that are 100+ slides and it's hard to keep track of what's actually important, etc. I came up with a system that turns lengthy power point slide lectures into compact "packets" that are much easier to look through and take notes on. I'll be posting that video next week so stay tuned!

[@VanessaBlanco]

I'm fairly new to your channel but wondering if you work at all while in Med school?

[@mizjazzegirl]

most med students don't work during school as it is a big commitment

[@emmamaxcy7657]

🍍 love you❤️

[@TheStrivetoFit]

🍍🍍🍍

[@emmamaxcy7657]

+TheStriveToFit OMG OMG you replied! Thank you😭😊 I hope you have a wonderful day (sorry just really like you and your vlogs)

[@thelipstickfiend2802]

Can i ask how old are you? I really want to go to med school but i'm having second thoughts because of stress and i have anxiety issues that i,m afraid that i can't take how busy, challenging and stressful med school

[@carmilamaytaping1565]

[@TheStrivetoFit]

hi Carmila!!! thanks for watching the videos

[@zainabfaiz4930]

Where r u studying?

[@jonahramdas7241]

where do you go to Medical School?

[@griffindorsword1]

Hi ! I'm doing hospital work experience this week. Do you have any advice of what to take notes on and how to make the most out of it? Thank you!!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

you probably don't need to take "notes" while you're at the hospital-- just observe the physician-patient interactions and think of questions you might want to ask whoever you are shadowing. To prepare, you can look up some common illnesses or disorders that people come in with for the floor or the type of physician you are shadowing (eg hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, etc)

[@JMarie3194]

Do you have to do research during medical school? If so is it difficult to balance with the rest of your med school work?

[@Draw4Dame]

^

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I'm not sure how it works for other schools, but for my school the summer after 1st year is a good time to get the bulk of the research work done. I did a little bit of work during my second year but it was totally manageable. It depends on the project and the PI though. students who want to go into certain competitive fields end up taking a year off to do research (usually between 3rd and 4th year)

[@nicolenadine8493]

Where are your glasses from?

[@snehavajanthri4164]

hey I love your vlogs.. how was step one? n I use Khan academy vedios too..

[@fatima-xs6sn]

hey how did your usmle go!? and i realized we use the same hilighters :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

usmle went well! & those highlighters are the best!!

[@silpatadavarthy9714]

Hey! Fellow med student here! I wanted to try the 2 free Daily Harvest smoothies because anything time-saving is amazing, but when I click on the link, it takes me to a general page where I can sign up for one of their plans. Is there a different link to try the free smoothies? Thanks!

[@TheStrivetoFit]

+Silpa Tadavarthy hi Silpa! Unfortunately the minimum they ship is 6 at a time. the link you used will work automatically when you check out with 6 and you can cancel the subscription if you don't like it. Canceling is super easy through their website (no calling or emailing) which I like!

[@mOdelnG]

In what med school do you study? I start applying this year and would really like to check it out

[@DoctorNikkiP]

I'm going to apply to the upcoming cycle too! :D Her videos are awesome!

[@JMarie3194]

Another question. How many rotations do you go through every year? Do you get to choose some of your rotations or are some mandatory?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

In 3rd year we have rotations for medicine, surgery, ob/gyn, neuro, psych, peds, and family med. We also have few weeks for electives as well.

[@inumelostar]

I'm still trying to figure out how you have to for the gym since you're in third year now

[@TheStrivetoFit]

3rd year schedule is definitely more unpredictable & busier compared to first 2 years of med school. but I'm doing my psych rotation now and the hours have been pretty easy so far. I've been able to get at least 2-3 gym sessions during the week.

[@inumelostar]

its great that you have some free time. thanks for the quick reply. continue to work hard

[@maishah17]

What do you usually order at Starbucks?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

I usually get an iced latte with no sweeteners or flavoring

[@aimeemarysmith]

I'm doing my last year of high school and I've decided I want to study medicine. I'm from the UK and was hoping to do my undergrad here then go to med school in the US and I was wondering if there were a lot of opportunities for international students? Hope you can help :)

[@TheStrivetoFit]

from what I've heard, it's much harder for international students to get into US medical schools. I'm not an expert in this topic by any means though so check out student doctor network forums for more info!

[@raiindrops13]

What are you writing a research paper about?

[@dancingwiththedocs134]

I'm thinking Fight Club definitely has some paranoia and schizophrenia in there. Sixth Sense has probably some of the same as Fight Club but obviously some differences.

[@fatima-xs6sn]

what is your normal study hours?

[@TheStrivetoFit]

really irregular now that I've started my rotations. basically whenever I have free time at the hospital and in the evenings when I'm not too tired haha

[@K1370]

kewl

[@Gigadrane]

I'm gonna assume Fight club relates to schizophrenia ?

[@neronedouglas3618]

Anyone know which medical school she attends?

[@Ron1840]

Vandy (aka Vanderbilt) based on her reading list.

[@woopimiku4673]

how old are you ??I am 25 and I finished my internship this feb ;p and Now studying for further

[@translucentheart27]

Wow! You finished really quickly? How? :0

[@woopimiku4673]

+hafsa g we have different system here right after high school we sit for medical entrance test so by the time we are 17/18 we are first year med students.takes 5andhalf for simple graduate then we go for specialization but we get licensing with the simple one.

[@ValVlogs]

+woo miku what country's system is that please?

[@thelipstickfiend2802]

The school my cousin wants has that system. (My cousin is in Australia)
