I feel like i had such a great week this week. I hope you all did the same. :) Exercise of the day: Tell me about your week in the comments! What was a highlight? What was something you didn't like about the week (and how did you get through it)?
I had a bit of a rough week, but I'm so thankful for the hardships I face cause they do make you stronger. I just put my faith into something other than myself and that released me of all the pressure I was feeling. Love u rachel!!
I've been having a rough time lately. I really did enjoy your honesty in your vlog last week. It was a highlight for me. I sent you a message on IG about it and how I'd love to send you some art that I made. I hope you're doing well
It was a terribly bad week. I was so unproductive and not happy on the inner side. I was not psychologically sane all through this time. But I wish I improve myself in the days to come. Dear Rachael, I just want to let you know that you transfer great positive energies and vibes to me. You are such a beautiful soul! May God bless you, lots of love to you.
Yeah I had a Good week! First week back for Term 4 in High Schol! The highlight was definitely not getting any homeweek lmao but I started gaining weight. Had to force myself to do like 5K runs which turned out pretty good. Watching your channel to prepare myself mentally for med school :)
That feeling of getting your grades back and actually acing your exams when you thought it was a fail - pure heaven. I usually just drop everything and stop studying right there and then haha
Zainab Hossein honestly I noticed that ever since COVID happened and I was stuck at home I feel like my studying habits got much better, and what I mean by this is I would study smarter and not harder. I study every single day leading up to the exam and then what I would do is after I finish watching my lectures is make a quizlet and every single day I reviewed the quizlet so by the time I took my test I wasn’t really overwhelming myself by procrastinating because I’ve been studying a bit every single day I hope that makes sense!😂
Oh also one big thing!! DO NOT memorize make your goal understanding and trust me you’ll retain the info soooo much better. Whenever you see a term you don’t know look it up, watch videos on concepts you don’t understand. UA-cam has everything trust me!! It’s super useful for anatomy especially
I'm 41 and pre med.... I hope my age doesn't hold me back from being accepted to a med school. Even tho you are so much younger, your videos, and seeing you do better than you think you did on your test, give me such hope that if I work hard, I can do better than I think I can! Thanks for the motivation!
Rachel, i dont know how you can study so much, vlog, have time for your parents, entertain us, study, make coffee, vacuum?, study etc but RESPECT and THANKS
I legit find you so motivating ...like im stuck in a rut where i passed an exam, so i took a few weeks off to chill, but now i have to study for a bigger exam and i just cbaaaaa lol. Your work ethic just encourages me like come onnn get up lets do this. Love your vulnerability in your vlogs and i actually love the ones where youre an emotional mess even more because its how i feel most the time and i just need someone to relate to 😂💕 The people that think you’re weak because you cry are just emotionally numb, the most compassionate and empathetic people are the ones who feel deeply.
I couldn't help but notice you were really smiley in this week's vlog ... I don't think it's weak of you to show yourself crying, I find it really strong, but I am so happy to see you smiling!! Also, Remy is so cute xD
I get that feeling where I just can’t study anymore. It’s absolutely useless for me to study anymore because I’m just sitting there. That’s usually where I turn my brain off and go for a walk for awhile. Maybe not the most productive in terms of studying, but if I sit in front of the computer and stare at it, I’m not learning either. At least this way I’m getting some exercise. Stay positive and be kind to yourself!
I just started veterinary school and after watching your videos I decided to use anki and it has been an absolute life saver during exams! Thank you so much
Any one else feel like when Rachel gets a good grade it’s like you’re getting a good grade!! I've been watching her for years and l am invested in her journey I feel like she’s my friend,🥺🥺
I swear I just love your work ethic and discipline I know there are times you feel you could do more work or may have not done enough but it’s admirable for us to see how you stay disciplined and never brag about any exam score and just say you passed 💪🏽🇬🇧✌🏼😊
After about a week of forcing myself to keep studying even when I didn't feel like, I just kept myself motivated by watching your vlogs (I'm scared btw as very very soon I'll run out of your videos!) And finally I had a good great productive day today and I exercised too (thanks to you again for motivating me to do that and making me realise how working out actually freshens you up!) I was waiting since morning for your video and when it finally came up, I was in middle of a task... Forced myself to complete that first and now I'm watching this before I can go to bed and I feel so good! You HAVE LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE RACHEL! Im not afraid to work hard anymore... If anything I'm excited about joining medical school next year (have been trying to get in for 3 years but never could work hard enough... YOU changed that! I can bow down to you as YOU ARE A QUEEN! Your parents must be SO proud to have a daughter like you!🔥🔥 I'm working hard now... And I know I will clear the exam this time! Your dedication and hard work and purity!! The beauty you behold inside out... Honestly, I tried so many other UA-camrs who were medical students but found everyone fake but you seem so pure and genuine that I have fallen in love with you! I'm sorry for rambling on but past few years have been so tough with not being able to find myself but you did that for me and I... I can't explain what I feel... One day I will thank you properly Rachel southard❤️ P.S. We share the birthday month OMG I. FEEL. BLESSED!!!!😭😭
Hi I'm still in highschool and I want to get into medicine school. So I wanted to say I'm glad I found your channel and you're the most honest and real person I've seen on youtube. And good luck in learning all those drugs names and finally HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY 💜💜💜💜💜
Hii! I'm a 3rd yr medicine student from Poland. I thank UA-cam algorythm or showing me your channel! I can relate to you 100%. Thank you for sharing with us yours ups and downs. This are the things that just needed to be said. I'm currently in the middle of my pharmacology course and the only advice I can give you is to not stress about it. Don't feel overwhelmed, every chapter you learn your brain is memorising it 3 times faster. Our brain is really like a sponge that absorbs enormous amount of knowladge.
Rachel, I just want to let you know that your vlogs are amazing and it is unbelievable to see how many things we have in common. Also, I am a libra, and so finding out you are a libra as well simply made my day! Please don't ever stop filming these great vlogs and don't worry if sometimes in your videos you just study. I do find that very interesting and motivational😘. Love you and I'm sending good wishes❤
I love you Rachel !!! I want to go to medical school and I’m really liking what anesthesiology offers. You inspire me so much to follow my dreams no matter how hard it gets !!! 😁
I totally feel like not wanting to study sometimes! It feels so bad, putting some music sometimes helps, but yeah it happens because we are studying everyday for such long hours
So proud of you taking action on things in life that aren't where you want them to be! So proud that you've studied so hard that even when you aren't feeling like you're in the best position for an exam you still smash it!!! love u
Yay! So happy you had a good week🐜 I had a good week this week too! I'm finally getting comfortable and happy at university (it's my first year), getting closer to others there, being more productive, and rn I'm visiting my family!! I missed them so much and I love themmm❤❤
1:38 Yess, I felt this way at the start of this semester too. I don't usually struggle with motivation as I'm interested in what I learn and I always want to do well, but this semester has just been very bumpy for some reason. I'm doing better now, glad you had a great week too! 😊
I love your videos every week and look forward to watching them!!! I’m so happy you did well on your midterm! I started in the CVICU as an RN two months ago and my last shift this week preceptor is an ICU nurse of 30+ years and she told me how proud she was of me, that I got what it takes to make it in the ICU, and that I did really well. One of the other nurses said she doesn’t give that complement out to just anybody so it made me feel really good and reassuring! And on a different note, I start my Pre-med journey in January 🙌🏼
Hi Rachel, I want to say thank you for being amazing. Your raw emotions, encouraging talks helps me to realize that medicine everywhere is crazy but I am not alone and I can do it. Helping others feel better, even if its just a little always makes me happy. Thanks for being so...... awesome. Highlight of my week: Trying to finish my due cards, a little self care and finishing my workout routine, Done and Dusted😉😉
Best part of my week so far! Just had a virtual med school tour and info session early this morning and should start studying for my upcoming tests.... but here I am excited for your video. Happy Birthday in advance! Hope you get to do something fun and relax for a bit!
Hi :) my week was really rough tbh. It was midterm week and I was also feeling a new set of “unlocked” emotions, so it was really nice to hear you say that. The nice parts were that I had some really good convos with my professors, and I also got some puppy snugs! Thank you so so so much for being so honest in your videos. It helps to hear it, and makes me feel better about med school next year (I just got accepted!)!
I just love your videos so much... you bring a lot of positivity in my day. Every Wednesday I start thinking about one of your videos and I can't wait for Friday to come. Thank you so much! You are a truly wonderful person! Good luck with Pharmacology :)
WEEEEE! I had such a great week too even though I feel super swamped and overwhelmed with school - then I remember I was praying and hoping for this and it's here! TGIRSF (thank god it's rachel southard friday)
It's Libra season! My birthday is also next week I'll be turning 23 and I am a first year in a genetics PhD program. I love watching your videos because they motivate me to keep going !
Such a beautiful, positive and uplifting vlog. I'm happy to see you had a good week and did well on your exam. You work so hard and you deserve it!! Happy early birthday! Make sure to carve out some time for self-care :)
Hi LOVE. I am currently so swamped with my work butttttt I had to leave a comment while I eat my dinner (simultaneously while watching your video) before I head back to the books. I love you, you're strong, you're intelligent, you're confident, you are capable and even when you aren't, you are Rachel... so I know you'll get through the rough patches!
I’m also an older student and you really help me stay motivated, I wish I had finished my degree at your age but life comes along! Anyway it’s never too late!!
Omg we have the sameee coffee and cream!! The highlight of my week is finally relaxing from my mcat exam I took 10 days ago and something I didn’t like was that I worked a lot at my job which I don’t enjoy because of the managers but I got through it remembering it’s only a small portion of my week and it’s only a for now job
I passed the cardiology, pulmonology phase of paramedic school, passed my ACLS certification, and passed ECG! This last semester was ridiculously hard. So happy to be moving onto the next phase.
I'm in my first semester of pharmacy school and the highlight was I had my first exam of pharmacy school (biochemistry) and I got about 91% which was well above the class average. The low of the week was I had a pharmaceutical calculations quiz and didn't do so well on it, but one question was removed so that made up for it.
So i started studying for the MCAT this week 🙂 my fave part of the week was going to my mom’s job and getting mentor who i wont be able to shadow for now b/c of covid :( worst part of the week... hmm... maybe my 12 hour peds clinical for nursing school b/c it was so boring & the only thing i could do is wait it out and do my paper work & try to be a useful as possible. Love you Rachel!! youre honestly such an inspiration and def influenced part of my decision to finally go thru w med school. Keep doing what youre doing, ik youre going to make the best Dr!!!!
14:32 Same feeling when I was learning Pharma last year! I'm currently a 3rd yr med student in the Philippines but I also had a hard time memorizing the drugs taught in Pharma so I can relate hahaha! Anyway, thanks as always doc for being a positive presence in yt. Tc always! ❤️
Okay please keep the fun facts coming ! Because I remember diabetes keto acidosis having a fruity breathe from one of your vlogs and yesterday during a case discussion my peers were having a really tough time coming to a diagnosis. And I joined in late read the case and immediately said of THATS diabetes keto acidosis. My professor was shook that I answered it and he asked me how I knew it. I told him because of the fruity breathe he was really impressed 😂 it was really funny but wanted to share with you haha
I was looking forward to your video this week! Always love your videos and your content! God bless you! You’ve got this and I will be sending prayers your way! 😊❤️
pharm student here, I feel you on learning a new language / I love hearing patients try and pronounce them it's like a fun guessing game of what they are trying to say
I appreciate you carving out time to edit & upload videos every week ontop of your busy schedule. 4 hours? 😱 I cant even fit a 20 min jog on top of school & work together 😅 You are the REAL MVP & I thank you 🙏🏽 Take care of yourself

I always feel motivated to be more productive whenever I watch your videos. I just started my own youtube channel to document my journey through med school in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 . Your content is very inspiring and I just love watching your vlogs ! 😊
Hi Rachel! I absolutely love your videos, thank you for being such an inspiration to not only me but to every one of your followers. We are all so proud of you! Congratulations on doing well on your exam! How is your arm feeling? I hope that you are doing well. Quick and weird question lol, do you have invisalign/wear a retainer? If so, do you bring your coffee with them in? I have invisalign at the moment and was advised not to drink anything besides water while having them in. Thankfully, I haven't broken this regulation, but it is certainly tempting at times haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and weekend. As you always tell us, please continue to take care of and be kind to yourself! Much love always.
Hi Jayla! Thank you:) My arm is doing okay. Way better, but not 100%!! And yes! I wear Invisalign. I usually don’t drink hot coffee with them in, but everything else, I do (shhh don’t tell lol)
Hi beautiful Rachel! I am very upset because I didn’t do very well in the MCAT so next year hopefully I will be in med school! Do more videos while you are studying💘
I don’t know why, but seeing u happy makes me happy so thank you so FRINKIN much for being happy!!! I really enjoyed the vlog! Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰♥️!
Hi Rachel, gotta love your videos and can't miss out even any of them. Keep on doing great work and giving us inspiration for being more productive in our lives. Love from India😍🥰
@@adeniyisalami9416 Well sure i would love to give my response on your first vlog. Best of luck for more vlogs in future and the first year of med school.
I've always wondered about anti-histamines. Whenever I take them (the ones that don't make someone drowsy), I feel well rested when I wake up. I feel light during that day.
I can ask a question about your studying? If you have 3 lectures in a day, do you make anki cards and learn in detail all 3 lectures that day or leave the understanding part until the weekend?
If it were up to me drugs would be like: Headache drug, Fever drug. Like come on people, why do I have to google a bunch of letters that don't make sense so I could feel better xD
Rachel, next time you go to Target you have to try the Starbucks cold brew concentrate, it is 20 times better than the Stok cold brew. I'm talking life changing! hahaha (mix with oatmilk for thicker/creamier goodness)
That antihistamine thing was very interesting and helpful....I m also doing pharmacology...and I just read about lipid soluble drugs which also crosses “BBB” and lipid soluble drugs which are used as topical eye drops cause it have pass through cornea😅 🤓.........enjoyed your video ... like taking a break from long hour studying and watching your videos ...it’s so reliving ❤️❤️👩⚕️
Could you possibly mention some sample questions showing what they ask you on exams and stuff in the next video? I’m super intrigued haha, I’m a nursing student so I was curious what kinds of questions they ask you on tests 😂
Hi Rachel Can you help me how to schedule my class time in Excel? And how to prioritize my daily plan in planning note? Love you so much Wish you all the best.💓💓💓
I feel like i had such a great week this week. I hope you all did the same. :)
Exercise of the day: Tell me about your week in the comments! What was a highlight? What was something you didn't like about the week (and how did you get through it)?

I've been having a rough time lately. I really did enjoy your honesty in your vlog last week. It was a highlight for me. I sent you a message on IG about it and how I'd love to send you some art that I made. I hope you're doing well
It was a terribly bad week. I was so unproductive and not happy on the inner side.
I was not psychologically sane all through this time. But I wish I improve myself in the days to come.
Dear Rachael, I just want to let you know that you transfer great positive energies and vibes to me.
You are such a beautiful soul!
May God bless you, lots of love to you.
Yeah I had a Good week! First week back for Term 4 in High Schol! The highlight was definitely not getting any homeweek lmao but I started gaining weight. Had to force myself to do like 5K runs which turned out pretty good. Watching your channel to prepare myself mentally for med school :)
BTW, WEEEEE!
That feeling of getting your grades back and actually acing your exams when you thought it was a fail - pure heaven. I usually just drop everything and stop studying right there and then haha
@@adeniyisalami9416 Sure thing,, and congratss! I'll check it out :)
Just got a 98 on my anatomy exam 😊 that was the highlight of my day and entire week!
How are you studying I would love some tips 💜💜
@@zainabhossein556 me too
Omg..I can't even dream of 60+ in anatomy .
Fabulous 🎉
Zainab Hossein honestly I noticed that ever since COVID happened and I was stuck at home I feel like my studying habits got much better, and what I mean by this is I would study smarter and not harder. I study every single day leading up to the exam and then what I would do is after I finish watching my lectures is make a quizlet and every single day I reviewed the quizlet so by the time I took my test I wasn’t really overwhelming myself by procrastinating because I’ve been studying a bit every single day I hope that makes sense!😂

I'm 41 and pre med.... I hope my age doesn't hold me back from being accepted to a med school. Even tho you are so much younger, your videos, and seeing you do better than you think you did on your test, give me such hope that if I work hard, I can do better than I think I can! Thanks for the motivation!
That’s amazing! No one is ever too old to work towards their dream. I wish you all the best 😊
I’m almost 35 doing the prerequisites for Optometry school. Trust me, it’s definitely not too late.
Age won't matter as much as your passion. Age gives you the advantages of experience over extracurriculars. Just get the grades, and MCAT scores.
I’m hoping you reach your goals
A M that’s the hard part 😅
you are such an organized, independent and diligent medical student. i’m a high school student and I aspire to be more like you! you are my idol!!
Thank you love!
Rachel, i dont know how you can study so much, vlog, have time for your parents, entertain us, study, make coffee, vacuum?, study etc but RESPECT and THANKS
Exactly 😂😂 She needs to make a video about that
rachel’s mom: are there any red ants on the ground?
rachel: nope just me
you guys are the cutest i-

Highlight of my week: Trying to finish my due cards, a little self care and finishing my workout routine, Done and Dusted😉😉
Its so comforting seeing someone else living exactly your day to day life. Helps!
Best part of my week so far! Just had a virtual med school tour and info session early this morning and should start studying for my upcoming tests.... but here I am excited for your video. Happy Birthday in advance! Hope you get to do something fun and relax for a bit!

It's Libra season! My birthday is also next week I'll be turning 23 and I am a first year in a genetics PhD program. I love watching your videos because they motivate me to keep going !
Yea! The Libra Herd 🐜
Im a 3rd year med student in uruguay, and this vlogs motivates me so much !! keep it up rachel !!
Such a beautiful, positive and uplifting vlog. I'm happy to see you had a good week and did well on your exam. You work so hard and you deserve it!! Happy early birthday! Make sure to carve out some time for self-care :)
Ahhhhhh finallyyyy one of the things I most look forward to every week🤧
Hi LOVE. I am currently so swamped with my work butttttt I had to leave a comment while I eat my dinner (simultaneously while watching your video) before I head back to the books. I love you, you're strong, you're intelligent, you're confident, you are capable and even when you aren't, you are Rachel... so I know you'll get through the rough patches!
it’s so nice to see you feeling better 🥺
I’m also an older student and you really help me stay motivated, I wish I had finished my degree at your age but life comes along! Anyway it’s never too late!!

happy early birthday Rachel 🥺❣️take care of yourself & be kind to yourself!
Didn’t know I needed this today 😭😭 but looking up into Rachel’s nostrils are my favorite parts of the vlogs lmaoo ❤️❤️

So i started studying for the MCAT this week 🙂 my fave part of the week was going to my mom’s job and getting mentor who i wont be able to shadow for now b/c of covid :( worst part of the week... hmm... maybe my 12 hour peds clinical for nursing school b/c it was so boring & the only thing i could do is wait it out and do my paper work & try to be a useful as possible. Love you Rachel!! youre honestly such an inspiration and def influenced part of my decision to finally go thru w med school. Keep doing what youre doing, ik youre going to make the best Dr!!!!
14:32 Same feeling when I was learning Pharma last year! I'm currently a 3rd yr med student in the Philippines but I also had a hard time memorizing the drugs taught in Pharma so I can relate hahaha!
Anyway, thanks as always doc for being a positive presence in yt. Tc always! ❤️
thank you for introducing anki rachel🤍🤍
i have integrated it into my study routine and i see a huge difference 🥰
Okay please keep the fun facts coming !
Because I remember diabetes keto acidosis having a fruity breathe from one of your vlogs and yesterday during a case discussion my peers were having a really tough time coming to a diagnosis. And I joined in late read the case and immediately said of THATS diabetes keto acidosis. My professor was shook that I answered it and he asked me how I knew it. I told him because of the fruity breathe he was really impressed 😂 it was really funny but wanted to share with you haha
You're the cutest and high spirited med student ever on ytb
12:13 I've been studying pharmacology all day and you just triggered me. The struggle is real!!
Hey Rachel! I am currently in my first year of pharmacy school! I also find drug design so fascinating! Good luck studying and memorizing drugs! 😊
I was looking forward to your video this week! Always love your videos and your content! God bless you! You’ve got this and I will be sending prayers your way! 😊❤️
Me, a pharmacy student loving that your respiratory block is overlapping with mine and that you’re discussing diff generations of antihistamines! 💕
Also your pronunciations of the drugs are close!!
pharm student here, I feel you on learning a new language / I love hearing patients try and pronounce them it's like a fun guessing game of what they are trying to say
I appreciate you carving out time to edit & upload videos every week ontop of your busy schedule. 4 hours? 😱 I cant even fit a 20 min jog on top of school & work together 😅 You are the REAL MVP & I thank you 🙏🏽 Take care of yourself

I start clinical rotations on Monday! No more preclinicals woooooo!
Hi Rachel! I absolutely love your videos, thank you for being such an inspiration to not only me but to every one of your followers. We are all so proud of you! Congratulations on doing well on your exam! How is your arm feeling? I hope that you are doing well. Quick and weird question lol, do you have invisalign/wear a retainer? If so, do you bring your coffee with them in? I have invisalign at the moment and was advised not to drink anything besides water while having them in. Thankfully, I haven't broken this regulation, but it is certainly tempting at times haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and weekend. As you always tell us, please continue to take care of and be kind to yourself! Much love always.
Hi Jayla! Thank you:)
My arm is doing okay. Way better, but not 100%!! And yes! I wear Invisalign. I usually don’t drink hot coffee with them in, but everything else, I do (shhh don’t tell lol)
IT IS A NEW LANGUAGE!! 🤣🤣🤣 GREAT JOB RACHEL! IM IN NURSING SCHOOL AND SO FAR IT HAS BEEN A ROLLER COASTER RIDE. BUT WTH I KNOW WE GOT THIS!!
Hi beautiful Rachel! I am very upset because I didn’t do very well in the MCAT so next year hopefully I will be in med school! Do more videos while you are studying💘
You should do an interesting medical fact based on what you're learning every vlog! I really enjoy them!!!
I don’t know why, but seeing u happy makes me happy so thank you so FRINKIN much for being happy!!! I really enjoyed the vlog! Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰♥️!
Hi Rachel, gotta love your videos and can't miss out even any of them. Keep on doing great work and giving us inspiration for being more productive in our lives. Love from India😍🥰
@@adeniyisalami9416 Well sure i would love to give my response on your first vlog. Best of luck for more vlogs in future and the first year of med school.
Love that you did the Tim Tam Slam.... very Australian of you xxx
Def the best UA-camr out there!😘
Soo happy you uploaded 💗💗🥰
Would love to see your must haves or daily essentials. food, snacks, home things, random stuff etc 😊
I've always wondered about anti-histamines. Whenever I take them (the ones that don't make someone drowsy), I feel well rested when I wake up. I feel light during that day.
Congratulations Rachel! Thank you for the inspiration! ✨
You inspire me so much when I wanna be productive I’m like cmon just be like Rachel 😂💕
Medicine truly is a new language! I wish I took medical-ese before med school lol. Great vlog
I can ask a question about your studying? If you have 3 lectures in a day, do you make anki cards and learn in detail all 3 lectures that day or leave the understanding part until the weekend?
If it were up to me drugs would be like: Headache drug, Fever drug. Like come on people, why do I have to google a bunch of letters that don't make sense so I could feel better xD
I kinda feel your getting more peacefull, easygoing,and mess stressfull. It like mes school is strenghten and shapen you
That is admirable
Rachel, next time you go to Target you have to try the Starbucks cold brew concentrate, it is 20 times better than the Stok cold brew. I'm talking life changing! hahaha (mix with oatmilk for thicker/creamier goodness)
Happy early birthday Rachel :D
Haaaaappy birthday Rach !! ❤❤❤
“Why do you have to be named that” 😭 same.
I'm back to watch your second year videos as a second year, at the school you go to rach, so I can feel validated with how much I have to suffer lol
Dang it seems like every exam score Rachel gets is amazing
That antihistamine thing was very interesting and helpful....I m also doing pharmacology...and I just read about lipid soluble drugs which also crosses “BBB” and lipid soluble drugs which are used as topical eye drops cause it have pass through cornea😅 🤓.........enjoyed your video ... like taking a break from long hour studying and watching your videos ...it’s so reliving ❤️❤️👩⚕️
Is Anki the only form of note-taking you do? If it isn't, can you show us what else you do?
Omg the fact that I know what the blood-brain barrier is makes me so happy. I learned it in my biological psych class!
You motivate me a LOT thank you god bless you 🙏
You do a great work keep going 💗
Oh shii, Its almost that time of week again.
@@adeniyisalami9416 Ye I'll check it out!
Could you possibly mention some sample questions showing what they ask you on exams and stuff in the next video? I’m super intrigued haha, I’m a nursing student so I was curious what kinds of questions they ask you on tests 😂
at 8:11 she shows how she does her anki cards during her lectures
This reminds me of PHARM. I am doing amazing every other class beside pharm, it's literally a different language!
Will be sleeping during this premieres (4AM in Aus lmao) but sdefo the first thing to watch tomorrow!
Adeniyi Salami Hey! Your short film is really great! Keep believing and your life is gonna turn out great and even better !
