The only good thing is that we get graduated from high school at 16-17 y/o so you're still younger when you finish with med school.

Thanks for the vlog Rachel. Happy tot see you have fun with the accents😉. The study with me, did a lot of good work this month for me. Thanks!!!

I love how you talk about the impact stress can have on hair loss! My friend and I have been going through it lately as well. We’re studying for our MCAT currently and bald spots are definitely starting to form 😬 so thank you for sharing that with us and letting us know that it’s normal for your body to react this way when under high amounts of stress. ❤️

I love the way you always end the vlogs saying "continue to work hard and all of that good stuff." Congrats on 150 k 🐜❤️

Rachel!!! I been subscribed to your channel for a pretty long time now❤🐜 You have taught me so much. I started using Anki and I got the highest score for my test. Even my professor asked me how and now my whole class is learning about Anki. I love you so much 💓 You are so inspiring!

Heyyyy!!!! I just want to let you know that you are a really beautiful soul❤️ May God bless you!

We appreciate even your upset moments because it’s real and authentic. The only reason you get feedback on it is because we care and just worry if you’re to stressed because not all of us have that much pressure.

I don’t know how u listen to those videos so fast! Congratulations girl you deserve it!! ♥️♥️♥️

I'm a first year pharmacy student and while I don't actually know you and your life, I feel like I can relate so much to what chapter of life you're in. I went from working full time to school full time and I thought there would be no way I could sit at a computer all day and learn so much material, but I'm amazed at how many hours I sit at my desk and study without even realizing it. One of the hardest parts to school this quarter has been the loneliness. Especially for me in my first year, sitting there alone wondering if anyone else was struggling how I was was not a good feeling. I'm glad you were able to find someone to "study" will and fill that void. While I knew to expect math in medical school, I was not expecting it in literally every one of my classes. We were just going through those same renal compensation equations. It's only been five weeks, but looking back on how much more I already feel I've learned and know makes me feel like all this is paying off. Event though it sucks, I hope you're finding the good in everything right now and enjoying the overall picture of what you're accomplishing! I can't wait to see what you continue to accomplish.

It’s a pleasure to watch you

You're sooo gonna crush that Step 1. Fear is the major culprit of doubting your knowledge. Believe in yourself and trust your knowledge, it is there. When that chip of doubt is turned off in your mind you'll see. I wish you lots of success and luck they are the residue of hard work. 💪🏼

Rachel, last year in my first semester of my masters i started shedding MASS amounts of hair from stress. It was so traumatizing and i actually took a semester off for mental health. But now i realize it’s very common and completely okay. I actually saw a dermatologist and now im on laser therapy and Rogaine! It’s helping :) just know you’re not alone. Love you so much girlfriend

Wait omg I love math now I'm even more excited to hopefully go into medicine :) congrats on 150k!!

Hey, Rachel! I’ve went through a lot of stress a few years ago due to school and I lost a bunch of hair. I know how hard that is, so I’m here to tell you and any other people who might be experiencing this that it is just a phase! If it bothers you, visit a dermatologist or someone else who can help you! That’s what I’ve done and now I can say that I don’t have to face hair loss anymore. Anyway, just try to keep calm and remember that all of the stress is gonna go away with time! You are amazing and you’re able to overcome whatever you are going through right now! X

I've been following this vlog for the past 2 years. I recently finished my 1st semester of medical school, and I can attest her videos explain the process and the day-to-day to a T! I didn't understand a lot of it at first, but these videos have helped me so much with the transition into med school. Rachel, I don't know how you managed to juggle everything but well done! Wherever you are, I hope you're thriving! 🥰

I was diagnosed with alopecia areata a while ago. I remember freaking out at first; I had gone to the hair salon when they found a patch on the back of my head. I've had injections in that area to help regrow my hair. It was a wake-up call to take care of my own mental health.

You're on 150k?!?! I swear i was JUST watching you on 7k! Congrats gal!

rachelllll first let me start by saying youre not only such a hardworker and my complete inspiration, but youre absolutely stunning! pleasee take supplements regarding any hair loss, i went thru the same when studying! I took a multivitamin targeting specifically hair nails and skin and it worked like a charm within 2 weeks!

Yes a zoom study please 🙌🏼

Love you my inspiration!!! ❤️

Hi Rachel! YOURE so inspirational and amazing!!! Can you do a video in the future about your medical school timeline. Like from undergrad to med school. And how that worked out for you :)))(

Hello Mrudula Joshi, so you are medical student. Do you learn math? And is it hard? I know that you learn anatomy,biochemistry,physiology and pharmacology. But how about math, for medical student will it be hard if he or she is bad at mathemarics?!

Hello, love your videos, very motivating..... also I like your stationary and supplies as they are basic and looks like have a nice grip so just a request if you can then please make video on what stationary supplies you use in your notes and daily basis:)

Love the walkthrough 🙌

Wow you're at 150k 😱 I remember when you were at 30k😱

Good luck on your step 1

Oh, this is interesting to me because I'm majoring in Biomedical Sciences but with an interest in Data Sciences. That means most of the electives I choose will be math courses (because calc is pretty neat if you ask me) and a few computer science courses. Also, I'm constantly on the lookout for any programming workshops offered by my school's student unions! Anyway, if medicine is "basically maths disguised as biology" then I am DELIGHTED to hear that haha

Omg i remember that renal section in nursing school! I used the tic toc toe method to fig out compensation, full, or partial.

Rachel, you are absolutely kind and sweet. Glad you started your KZread journey from day 1, because we are regretting that we began truly posting our podiatric medical school videos a little into our 2nd year. This will stay with you forever! My hair loss problems have been occurring since I was in high school which is irritating (wish I waited until med school to stress out LOL). Also, although we already took the boards, we STILL don't want to talk about it. We do not want to relive 2nd year, but I still can't NOT watch your videos lol Keep it up, lady!

I went through that hair loss thing too but trust me if u can take 15 minutes to apply aloe gel and coconut oil mix before washing your hair... u can easily get over that hairloss.

Watching your KZread videos on study breaks is the only way I'm getting through college right now😂

Not a doc, but went to law school. I worked weekends and holidays, as well as OT while I was in law school. This was mainly because there was a gap between my bachelor’s and law school, so I had already purchased a house, furniture, car, etc. that had payments due. It ended up averaging 30 hours per week over the three years, although I would take weeks off of work while I did externships, and likewise worked major OT on breaks. PS I’m not someone who needs a lot of downtime or tons of social contact, so work didn’t take away from my balance. I think I would have loved med school but I was afraid of getting yelled at by attendings (1990s, before the large culture shift), so I switched gears in college.
