Yay! Our 3rd week of our hands-on block! This week I settled into my new living arrangement, did a suture workshop, got a rapid COVID test, and more!
(ALSO THERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF MERCH IN THIS VLOG. STAY UNTIL THE END!)

If you're still reading this, comment "MERCH!"
These hands-on block made me feel like an actual medical student. It's been soooo different this year having spent majority of my second year of medical school in my room (yikes!).
Also, I want to say thank you soooo much for all of the love and support i received from you all on last week's video. Knowing that you support my decision to live alone makes me incredibly happy. Your thoughts and opinions matter to me, so thank you for always taking the time to comment.
I read them ALL. I'm not even kidding.
Love you so much.
What's something good that happened this week?! :D
I finally got to see my friend! Also.. i can’t wait for this videooooo
Discovered new ways to be good at my favorite hobbies, super excited 🥰.
I got stuck in between my finals.... another lockdown here...I hope everything turns back to normal.... second year is getting too long 😅

I am emotionally invested in your success. Not to add any pressure, but watching all the good and bad, now I really want to see you be the wonderful, caring, intelligent doctor I know you can be. You work so hard and care so much I want you to get everything you want in life ❤️ You showed us if you can do it so can we!
Hands-on block is DONE! Your new space is definitely going to be a lot better mentally and productively as we enter into dedicated.
Sooooo thankful it’s over with, honestly.
Go us!! Clear minds, ready for dedicated. Woo!
Today I got into medical school! I can’t wait to keep following along but now as a fellow medical student this fall 🥰
On a bad day when Rachel uploads: Well this day just got better!
On a good day when Rachel uploads: I didn’t think this day could get any better! 😂😁
I love how simple and clean your space is omg. I need to Maria Kondo my stuff 😩
5:54 I loved that setup of dividing the screen vertically, if so pleasant to watch both time lapses. Also I like usual I love the “pro tips” 🤩❤️🥰
I’m absolutely in love in the way you speak out your tasks and I’m like “yes, yes mhmm okay...alright let’s go” 😂 it feels like I was there
Doctors, who close wounds or surgical incisions, usually leave patients with horrible looking scars. If you're going to be doing this skill regularly after graduating medical school, suggest putting on your list to take advance training in this during or after residency. Your patients will love you for it.
I was fortunate to have two surgeons who attended such training. The scars are totally invisible to the eye. When others find out I had surgery, first thing out of their mouths: "Where are your scars? Look how bad mine are."
Something good that happened this week is my ED rotation at the busiest hospital of my state🤯🤯🥳
Just wanna say that I was planning on not doing much work today but watching this video made me motivated and made me tell myself that if you can do work I can too and now I'm going to the library to get some work done. Sending love as always💖
I love seeing these comments. Thank you! Work hard!!
Favorite UA-camr. I always thought I wanted to be a doctor and watching your videos helped me work through the possibility I could just be happier elsewhere. You definitely saved me a lot of stress and heartbreak, thank you! Keep doing your best!
I love how there is more light in this your new space
LISTS ARE THE BEST THING TO KEEP SANITY & FEEL PRODUCTIVE IN PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL!!! Even just marking off making & eating breakfast makes you feel more productive :)
I can feel a brighter mood since you've resumed in-person learning! Best of luck finishing the semester and beyond! ;)
Subcuticulars are my favorite! Surprisingly, I used it a lot during my Orthopedic elective.
"I dont remember anything from Neuro" sameeee
No way I’m here already. I LOVE YOUR VLOGS!!!! I’m in undergrad right now and they give me so much inspiration
I will be glad if you showed me some support on my channel 🙂
I’m so excited for your next chapter of living alone, so proud of you Rachel! I watch you to see what my boyfriend will be going thru soon, I also just love medicine as well but I’m going into nursing. Can’t wait for MERCH!!❤️
Pleaseee do a vid about your study strategy and materials for step 1! Im an M1 and could definitely use a strategy! Rn i dont use anking or anything like that, I just make my own cards per lecture so not sure what the best way to transition to a step 1 deck is and when to do that! Thanks!!
Taking in new information from moving and going back into class has probably really puts some strain on the brain. Nothing wrong with prioritizing what you have to when things get taxing. It wont take too long for things to even out and for to be able to get back into a groove when we get thrown off, but while we’re adjusting it’s always a good idea to switch direction a little when you need it, especially when we start seeing diminishing returns. Even if that’s just a 15 minute break, that’s why we have them. Meet your needs, break up what you need to. Love yourself like you love everyone else.
I moved recently too. It’s always a huge learning process. Go easy on yourself.
Lovely video as always!! And the color coordination of the "Pro Tip" scenes 😍
as a med student who's basically at the same stage as you, this makes me so happy LOL!
love ur vlogs! =D
🪡 hahaha awww bless! could tell that you're actually tired from 5:04 "..it's 12:30 in the morning" Love youuu! (also, got anatomy exam out of the way so that is one good thing that happened this week! and saw dogs on my evening walk today!)
you make every one happy Rachel
Making a career change into medicine and looking for a PostBacc right now, your videos have been so helpful Rachel and I wish you all the best!
I loved this video! I get so excited for your vids every week. You are such an inspiration. Can’t wait for merch😄 ❤️🐜
The shots of you studying and of you commuting in the evening sky are so aesthetic ✨. Personally, I found having two shots side by side was a little distracting. Still, I really enjoyed the vlog overall and watching you do the different kinds of suturing - this length is great for me!
Your house is looking amazing and I'm excited for your merch!
What did we do to deserve the continuous subcuticular?! Thank you for sharing another week. I honestly struggle to get through 1 lecture a day, so I don't know how you do all you do! But thank you for the motivation.
You videos always motivate me to study and get things done 💕💕💕
I looovvvveeeee your new apartment, especially the teal door and the plantsss so CUTE! And AHAHAHGHIOHSDDHDW *vigorously hits keyboard* merchhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I've hated insects personally *frantically apologises* but Red Ants are going to be one big exception! Love you, Rachel!
Ahhh I’m so happy about your new place! It looks really nice and I can’t imagine how happy you’re about it ❤️.
Love always
Whatever you did at aroud 6:00 min it was AMAZING. Loved it so so much!!! Very aestetic
Oh my it's so good to see you have it up for an hour earlier this time I usually have to stay up till 1:00 am for the premieres ooo please keep it this way if possible ❤️
So happy that your getting your hands-on experiences !
I’m a high schooler right now, but I will go to medical school one day, thank you for this awesome video👍🏾❤️

Ok, you win. I love your personality and I’ve turned all notifications on.😇
Seeing you in your apartment makes me so happy..
The editing in that video is really good especially that split screen one ♥️ and the pro tips !♥️ keep up 🙏🏾
Usually I would close my eyes for 5 minutes in a break after 30 minutes, it helps when you’re looking at a screen for a long time and feels like you can’t remember anything
Thank you for being soooo real with us, and sharing with us the real life. I love your videos❤️❤️
I cant wait for the merch!!!
Can't wait no longer. You make the videos so interesting. You're amazing. 🤣
