So let me get this . You wake up at 5:30! , you go to the gym! , you study for step, you have time to watch t.v , you hang out with your friends,and you are in med school 😩!! TEACH ME howww My day : wake up,go to uni,study,sleep,wake up,go to uni....

I gotta say, I love your videos! I love how your videos showcase a real med student who balances school, studying, working out and as much as a social life as she can get. It's so motivating!

I would love to see a video about med school "hacks"

TheStriveToFit which med school do you go to?

For future videos, can you lower the music a bit and increase the volume when you are talking, the levels of volume don't match which bothers me a bit. Other than that, great videos! I would like to see more organizational videos!

Am I the only one watching this video during quarantine? And also, I miss candy the cat😥❤

can u do a video on budgeting and how you afford things in med school?

This is awesome! I feel like I'm growing through your journey as a student in med school. I get to experience it, through a warm documentary.. Thank you!!

What kind of doctor do you plan to become?

I adore your videos, I think its really cool to see what comes up in a medical student's life. Keep up the great work.

These videos are so inspirational!! Thank you for posting! It helps motivate me a lot!!

Thank you so much for sharing! I like how very organized you are and how your trying to balance your social life with studies. Your room seems nice as well. plz keep sharing your vlogs 😊😊

i just discovered you last week and am loving your videos,,am a second year medical student too!!!keep up th great work

I just love the videos! Please keep them up. They make me really motivated X

I love Gilmore Girls! And I'm so glad I found this channel!! I want to be a surgeon and it's so helpful to see someone else going through med school and stuff :)

Love this!!!

Day in the life!!! Yeasss

Could you maybe do a video on what you did in college specifically (after your neuro class when you realized you wanted to be a doc) to prepare for getting into med school? So like shadowing, volunteering, other clinical work in undergrad? Also, I would love to see a "study with me" video to see specific studying techniques you use, like do you use practice tests, how do you memorize, how do you actively study, etc. :)

I just found your channel! Ugh you are goals! Fit chick and a medical student?!?! You are everything I want to be! Soon to be 2018 Med school applicant 😊 good luck with everything

A step 1 study materials video would be cool! Like what resources do you use? How do you organize them? What would you have done differently? Is there anything first years could/should do to best prepare in a more indirect way? You're vids are dope! Thanks! Edit: Just saw that this idea was already posed haha.

I try to go to bed at 10 every night while I'm still an undergrad. I have to get my sleep lol especially this past semester when I had physics at 8:00 AM. I'm excited to see more of your videos!

get it girl!

I love your videos! you are amazing! How do you manage to find time for lectures, study, socialize, work out, and edit that awesome vlogs?? I feel Im a professional procrastinator haha

awesome video! i love these kinds. what medical school are you attending? also, in your "whats in my med school backpack?" video you mentioned a technique that you and your friends have been using to study something like copying slides and printing them in a binder. I'm pre-med and that seemed like a really efficient way to study, i'd love to see a video on your studying techniques especially that particular one. keep up the awesome videos!

Hey! I'm new to your vlogs and I was wondering how much time a day you devote to studying? And also, does school for you run a 9-5 or 9-1 schedule? I've heard of both and was wondering which is more common. I really like your vlogs! They're very realistic and make med school seem doable :) thank you!

Can we get a home tour? Love your videos!!

Hi! Can you make a video on Step 1 study materials?? I see that you have your first aid book spiral bound, but it looks so thin! Did you divide it into multiple books by subjects?? I'd love to see a video on that! Thank you!! LOVEEE YOUR VIDEOS!

+thelittlethings We're working on a STEP 1 video! I split up my First Aid book into 4 books. I actually regret it because it's useful to have all the chapters together so you can refer back from one section to another (especially subjects like microbiology). But I do like that it's spiral bound-- it makes it much easier to write on the margins

Do you have any tips on becoming a morning person? :) Also your coffee machine looks amazing~ I dont think I've seen it before. Do you have the brand name?

I just subbed because you've just shown me that I can still do KZread and go through med. school. KZread is like my creative outlet, while my goal is to be a dermatologist. Right now im in this weird in between stage, its coming to the six month mark after earning my BS degree in biology. I would have loved to be applied to med schools by now, but my GPA isn't really a competitive one (3.3) and I don't have any experience besides some volunteer work i did in high school. I intended to do a bridge program, but my mother has successfully talked me into doing a PA program instead. Her reason being: 1) she would rather spend money on something I can work with and earn money with (in case im not accepted into a program right off the back) 2) Making sure my health (Type 1 Diabetic since the age of 9) is in order, and if anything were to happen to her, that i would be able to do something that will allow me to afford great health insurance, and 3) We kind of think if I do a PA program, it would be almost impossible not to be accepted into a Med. School program. Also if I change my mind (lets be real, the commitment to Med. School is a heavy one) then I will still have a pretty good profession under my belt that I can be passionate about, will give me food on my table, and solid health insurance I can count on. Right now however, im feeling my motivation starting to dwindle. I want to do Medicine, but im also very passionate about KZread. And I find that doing KZread helps to motivate me to continue on my journey in Medicine. The road that im taking in order to reach my goals in the medical field however, is accumulating so many different prerequisites that I have to juggle, and I fear that I may have to give up KZread. I feel like If i no longer have time to express myself creatively the way that i want, it affects my view on everything else. I feel like i will get bored, or get burnt out. My mother thinks that this youtube thing is something I can just sweep aside because it isn't earning any money, but it's much more than that for me. Its the fuel to my fire. I know it sounds strange to connect "Beauty" KZread to Medicine. But to me, they are my right and left shoe. If I throw one shoe out of the window, then whats the point in going anywhere. If I do insist on going with one shoe on, how far will I go before my other foot starts bleeding, is severely injured, and I just end up sitting in the middle of the road? Seeing your channel has given me hope to do both of my passions. After all I would rather tread a steep and tiring incline with both shoes on, then walk down the street with only one.

+BeautiFuFu Hi Funmi, thanks for your message and sharing your story. Ultimately you will have to decide for yourself whether you want to go to PA school or med school. I think PA is probably one of the greatest professions out there (ranked #7 on Glassdoor Best Jobs in America!: www.glassdoor.com/Best-Jobs-in-America-LST_KQ0,20.htm). The programs are shorter and there is good demand out there. You can even specialize in dermatology if that's what you're passionate about. That said, being a physician is also a great option. Of course the prereqs and the application process is grueling but if I didn't think it was worth it I wouldn't be in med school now. Only you truly know what's best for you and what would make you the happiest. Keep in mind that you don't always have to apply to medical school (or PA school) right after graduation. There are plenty of people in my class who worked in various fields before applying and coming to medical school. Think long term. Maybe you can look into working for a dermatologist or maybe shadow a PA (these experiences will give you some clinical exposure which is important for applying to both PA and med schools). I hope that you do keep up with your KZread channel and continue to fight hard for everything you're passionate about! I wish you good luck!

This might be a stupid question but, does the hospital provide your white coat? Where do you get your scrubs? What do you wear when you're going to the hospital?
