In this vlog, I’m taking you with me as I start a new semester in medicine as a (very) stressed second year at FEU-NRMF. It’s one of those “back to reality” resets where I’m trying to get my life together—showing my usual med student routine, the little study moments, and the in-between parts that make the semester feel real. If you’re also entering a new term (or you’re just curious about what med school looks like in the Philippines), this is basically my realistic check-in for yl2. I share the vibe of the season: balancing school responsibilities, preparing mentally for exam weeks, and trying to stay grounded even when everything feels overwhelming. It’s not a perfect, aesthetic-only kind of vlog—I’m just documenting what I actually do to survive a new semester, from study days to small life updates. If you need a bit of motivation to start again, this is your reminder that it’s okay to feel stressed and still show up anyway.
