Are you guys excited to try Care/of? Let me know what you think!

[aaliyahhhhhhh]

Rachel I’m so freaking happy for you honestly when I saw you cry - I started crying because I know how hard you worked. Juggling your mental health, YouTube, trying to have a normal life outside of Med School. You deserve the world. Well done for working so so hard. I’m so happy for you. You are meant to be an Ob-Gyn ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my God. Seems like couple of days ago Rachel was uploding her 2nd year medical school journey. Now she is graduating. Time really flies. Proud of you Rachel. Good luck. 😀

[brendah]

I can't believe you're going to graduate already! 😭😭😭 I still remember your moments of self-doubt and you questioning if you'd ever feel happiness again. But look at you! You got through it and you matched!!! All the hard work paid off!

After having lived through med school, remember that you can get through residency!

As a Mexican-American, you have made us so proud! Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳

this is just wild, i remember watching your M1 vlogs! when i first started watching i was doing my nursing prereqs and now I'm an ICU nurse! time flies.

[vanessahinds]

I'm so sorry for your loss of Lily. I cannot wait to see your match And, you've chosen a time honored Position. That has got to be the greatest feeling, helping a Mommy deliver her baby!

Rachel I started watching your videos when I was in 12th grade then as a pre med and now as a medical student. That is like 3 years of being with you. I am so happy for you. I always look up to you You are like the older sibling I wished for! May you be the best ob/gyn doc ever!!! ❤

[burnt.norton]

hi! so i’m currently a senior in high school, i’ve commented this before but i don’t think i can say it enough times: viewing your journey throughout these few years has made me feel like i can achieve something similar as a first-gen college student. i’m the first person in my family to pursue medicine, and it definitely feels daunting. but i recently just got into uc san diego and uc davis and will be getting my medical assistant cert soon. i know it’s so minuscule compared to the things i’ll experience in life within the next few years but just thought i should still thank you lol, i think i can attribute a lot of my accomplishments to people like you :) hope you have a great day or night

[josephd]

Oh man. I first found you as a 1st year medical student in my sophomore year of high school. Now I’m in my 1st year of college and you’re about to graduate. So proud 🥲

[CoolsBreeze]

I hope when you graduate you'll go back and do a commentary on the video of your first week in medical school. What a tough tough journey it's been, especially through covid learning. But you made it and accomplished so much these last 4 years. What a happy ending.

[jarenasampson]

Congratulations on soon-to-be yet another graduate of an impeccable accomplishment!! I am sorry about your dog and I hope you find peace in her not feeling any pain anymore and resting peacefully in doggy heaven!

[misssoandso]

OMG! Congratulations Dr. Rachel Southard! All the best to you and your journey : D

[emilymortensen]

Its crazy that this chapter in your life is coming to an end. You’ve always been an inspiration to me!

[creamycandylove]

How time flies! From watching your MCAT videos to now your graduation vlog. So proud of you Rachel! Youve come so far and thriving! Congratulations!!

[randalibadi]

Congrats Rachel! You’re going to be an amazing Obgyn. Wishing you all the success and happiness in your career!

[Angels-xist]

Hey. I just wanted to say I’m sorry about your guys pup. I lost my cat not long ago and it was really tough for me. I really love the graduation photos and everything about your vlogs has been both inspiring and fun and engaging. You make it easy to smile even in really tough times. What you’ve been doing lately is awesome and what your channel has always been and what it continues to be and the shape your making it all take is beautiful. Your a great reminder of how to live and you really bring everyone in this space into a better place. I always want to give advice back, but honestly your wisdom and experience and joy is just massive. I’m glad you’re here for inspiration. Everyone knows life can be brutal, the more spaces to turn that into something beautiful, the better. So yeah, I’ve got nothing insightful to say, but I want to thank you for all your insight and positivity.

[AGreyAlien]

On Instagram she announced she matched into her first choice OB/GYN residency. Congratulations!

[rosacervantes]

[canyounot]

This is so wild!! I remember watching your first vlogs of medical school :) I started watching during undergrad, and I am starting medical school this year! Your hard work, determination, dedication, and resilience make me hopeful I can do this medical school thing too. Phenomenal work Rachel!
