 What is up guys karma medic here and welcome back to another dose be new to the channel Hi, my name is Nasser and I'm now a fourth year medical student studying at King's College London and somehow magically we've just Past two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers, which is beyond ridiculous And I know I say this every single time we pass some sort of new milestone, but a quarter of a million people Choosing to click subscribe on my channel is crazy So in today's video I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and have a look through some of the older videos that I have here On the channel have a little nostalgic trip about what two to two and a half years of video making looks like so I put out a post on my Instagram story and you guys worked your magic and let me know which of my older videos You want to see me react to if you don't already follow me on Instagram. You can do so at karma medic I post more regular updates about my life over there and every now and again You guys get to influence what it is that I do in my videos Alright, I'm gonna move to the side over here so that there's some space for us to watch videos together now By far the most highly requested video for me to react to is my very first video here on the channel I'm really not looking forward to that because I know it's gonna be cringy. I know it's gonna be weird That's probably exactly why you guys requested it. I see you. I see you my journey to medical school Uploaded almost two years ago on March 7th, 2018 Damn Oh god. Hi, my name is Nasser karma. I'm currently a graduate on undergraduate medicine course at King's College London Could we just talk about the quality for a second? This was the front-facing camera of my iPhone 8 the same one that I use right now. I didn't even use the back camera I use the front-facing camera. I had my phone bounced up on a bunch of cardboard boxes My bed is messy. My clothes on the thing are messy. I'm 22 years old And I want to start making YouTube videos I've been through the process of applying to both UK and Canadian medical schools I've learned a lot of things along the way. I think I might be able to help some people out there So just a little bit of background about me I'm so awkward talking to the camera and I'm clearly very nervous and you know, I think that I think that's totally okay Obviously when you first start talking to a camera, which is an inanimate object, you know It takes a little bit of time to get used to I mean, I was born in Vancouver in July of 1995 And I soon after moved to Greece two months later for my dad's work That's why I spent almost 18 years of my life. You know at this time like I knew the quality of the video wasn't good I knew I was shy I knew that I wasn't talking in an engaging way But I was just hoping that whatever I was saying was actually gonna be valuable and it was actually going to help students get accepted into medical school If I can't earn the BMAT, but at the time I didn't take them too seriously Oh my gosh If I can't earn the BMAT Yo What an amazing Transition title coming up. Oh my gosh leave a like if you want tips on UK cat prep Someone tell me why I capitalized every single word in every sentence that I wrote Look at that red text on top of a red bed This thumbnail I made it in Microsoft word, okay I used an orange text and then put a shadow in blue. What was I thinking? All right I think that's enough cringing at NASA from two years ago making his very first video the next video that I Want to jump into is this UK cat video the 99 percentile one have a look at this background my beautiful whiteboard with Karma medic written on it. Oh my gosh. That's so embarrassing So one of my goals with this video is to try and figure out when I came up with the phrase Welcome back to another dose. I can see I have a little pill there a little medicine tablet That's what this circle supposed to represent wait. Let's see. Did I say it in this video? What's up guys We need to talk about these logos Okay, this was sort of like I think it was my first channel banner That's what it was it was my first channel banner and when I was thinking about what I wanted to write on my channel banner I wrote get your dose that you guys can see down there and this picture over here That was the very first picture that I ever uploaded to my Instagram page karma medic So if I scroll down to the very bottom of my karma medic page, there it is Right there at the bottom that's where welcome back to another dose came from get your dose and here's a hand holding that dose Okay, so that's cool That's that's a nice thing to remember then I moved on to MMI interview stuff One of the videos that did really well was this one here how to break bad news Come back to another dose you guys being I hope interview prep has been going well Yeah, I changed the poster orientation from my earlier videos now I've got them in frames, which I think looks so much nicer Anyway, go for you guys. I Think something really interesting to react to would be my first vlog medical school vlog Yeah, all right. All right. Let's go. All right. So when I filmed my first vlog, I was really nervous I would just take my camera on walks like to the supermarket or to the train station or whatever slowly Slowly I got more and more used to holding my camera in a public space And that's what led me to be able to vlog in public also this little thing here This was my like karma medic animation at the beginning of a video before the one that you guys see now And now I have that whole intro animated of me and my desk Crazy how much has changed vlog it? I'm heading to my first class in the morning where I'm doing a presentation on HIV and vaccine development But everything goes well catch up with you guys after I finish my presentation I remember being so nervous walking through that hallway while vlogging. I was like, I hope no one comes I hope no one sees me There's the shard. I Was giving Stunning for the camera. Yeah, that's That's exactly what that was. So to give you guys a little bit of an update about my week all around yesterday We had the section of the upper limbs that means from the shoulders all the way down to the hands I missed my section so much like being in the dissecting lab and just being there with your cadaver Taking your time going through everything Such a such a good good experience all settled in I'm finally home now. That's that That's the end of my day Karma medic whiteboard got an update. All right, what is up guys karma medic here and welcome back to another dose What is up guys karma medic here? It's really it's really interesting to see how my like intonation has changed with that intro I got this glass jar and I filled it with M&Ms of the same color as the karma medic logo I did that to commemorate our one case subscriber goal. So I said one case subscribers. Let's go Interesting story guys when I went and I bought these M&Ms and I remember thinking to myself like what a huge waste of money How could you spend 13 pounds on stupid M&Ms to put in the background of your videos and looking back on that now? It was just so worth it The memory and the commemoration of hitting 1,000 subscribers in this glass jar is worth so much more than 13 Pounds and I keep it on my desk in the background of almost every single video as a reminder Like this is where I started all right now that we have the story of the M&M jar out of the way Let's move on to the next video This was the second vlog that I made on my YouTube channel And it was the one where I felt like I really stepped up my editing game And as you can see it got 230,000 views compared to the first one they got 40,000 so it did very very well I didn't know we were in the information for society I was sitting outside this building trying to vlog my like morning when I arrived on campus And this woman walked by me catching me fully red-handed just like vlogging on the stairs And I was like Then I continued so this vlog was a really good example of the lifestyle that I tried to promote on this channel as much As possible which is that academics are incredibly important and you should focus on your academics That's the number one well a big part of why you're at university But it doesn't mean that you can't have a balanced life doesn't mean you can't play sports in your evenings Like I did here play basketball every single Thursday I'd hang out with my friends during the day at school I could go to extracurricular activities that my friends were doing I'm trying to promote that you have time to do other things In your life. I just think it's all about how you prioritize your time and where you choose to spend your time Thank you for coming to my TED Talk all right And then it happened and then I uploaded the medical student finals week vlog The video that would forever change my life and my YouTube channel so this blog over here went Super super viral which is absolutely crazy. It now has 1.8 Million views I've always wanted to comment on this because no one has ever commented on it And I just like I feel like I need the people to know I want people to know you can see my tripod through this like Crack in my door which is going to be the next shot that I use film This shot that I'm filming is my camera on that tripod that you just saw over there And this was also the first time that I included some like serious B-roll in the background of my videos And this is that hyperlapse This was also sort of like my first big big editing project. I forget how many gigabytes of footage are recorded I think it was like 200 Yeah 200 gigs so I edited this vlog over something like 10 days I would do like two or three hours a day something like that it took absolutely for ever now I'm a lot faster editing my vlogs because I've sort of gotten used to what I like my editing style and things like that This video is pretty important for me because it was one of the first times I did something completely different completely out there in terms of the content that I'd been uploading on my channel Everything was revolved around medical school and studying and entrance exams and things like that And then I went to made a video about food about meal prep And I think this is one of the best things that I do in regards to my channel It's that I try and do anything that makes me happy anything that I find fun anything that I find enjoyable And I think that's what makes this channel and this hobby so much fun for me It's something that I really enjoy doing big shout out to Arslan He helped me film this video even though he was probably cringing at me the whole time And then he gave me this amazing review Yeah, let's see what it tastes like give your honest opinion Like all camera Very average Way guy all right the next video that I want to comment about real quick is my room tour This is one of my favorite videos that I've made and it's because Alexia was there She's the one who helped me film the video most of the videos I film are just me by myself talking to the camera like I am right now So anytime there's someone else with me in a video or helping me film the video It just makes it so much more fun. It's like much more of a social experience What is up guys karma medic here and welcome back to another dose we refilmed that intro I don't even know how many times because we just broke out in laughter It's obviously so unnatural to like knock on my own door and be like hey welcome to my room banking as well And it's also where I keep anything that I need to keep I Speaking of Alexia, let's react to the video of Alexia and I going to Paris I completely surprised her She had no idea that I was gonna book this ticket. It was for her birthday, which is December 13th So we're about to go out for dinner I wanted to do this surprise and I wanted to film her reaction without her knowing and my heart was just like beating Through the roof I had one camera hidden over here and the day before I had placed the camera there Checked the angle and then drawn two lines with a pencil so that I knew exactly how to put it the next time And I had hidden it right next to the these two candles so that she'd hopefully not see it The second camera was here so that's where I keep my cameras normally anyway up on that shelf Faced in this direction so she would never know if it was turned on because that's where it always is Made my heart melt made my heart melt This scene is so funny. Okay. Okay. We have to play this so a little bit of context Alexia And I finally find the place where we want to put our lock where we want to solidify our love and this is what happens Of course And of course it falls through the crack into the river Let's move on to another video a lot of you guys wanted me to react to my like quarantine day in the life vlog So let's do one of those as well I think I'm gonna react to this one because it's a little bit different than some of my other vlogs So yeah, I loved I loved making this video when I'm vlogging I don't really take the time to set up the perfect shot or find the perfect frame or do something multiple times to make Sure, it's perfect when I'm vlogging. I'm documenting what is happening in my life I'm doing what I would normally do anyway, but I'm just placing the camera somewhere and filming it But in this video, I really took my time with every shot that I did I made sure that everything was like neat everything was aligned here and welcome back to another dose today I'm gonna be running you through my typical study routine during quarantine. So grab your coffee I don't know if anyone noticed this but there's a little piece of dust stuck to my fingernail here And when I saw this in the edit, I was so mad because it was Wednesday night Which means my video is going live on Thursday morning And I didn't have time to redo this shot and get rid of that stupid piece of dust I set an alarm for seven hours of sleep almost every single day of the year Whether that's weekday or weekend whether that's university time or vacation Yeah, I honestly don't think I've slept more than seven hours Probably in all of 2020. I usually sleep between six and a half and seven hours This is easily my favorite part of the video I'm chilling break at around 8 30 p.m After putting away the dishes, I walk to my mirror and give myself a motivational speech About how there's only one hour of studying left in the day and then I can do this Despite how tired I am from studying how much I just want to turn on my playstation And play some Call of Duty with the boys for this last hour of study All right, so I don't actually do that I just thought it would be really funny as like an Easter egg to put in this video Happy studying, stay safe, and I'll see you in the next one Peace All right On to the next video Hi, it's KarmaMedic here and welcome back to another dose We've actually done it. It's so crazy to say out loud But recently this channel has passed 100,000 subscribers Can we take a second to talk about my hair? This is what my hair should look like, okay? Nice, nice and short, you know, neat Not this on my head. This is way too much hair. I need a haircut so badly I never would have thought this would happen back when I started my youtube channel And still I'm pretty sure I don't really understand what it means To have a channel with 100,000 subscribers This was a big big moment for me because it sort of solidified all the work that I had been doing Over almost a two year period Like when I had a thousand subscribers, I put it into this physical object Like I can look at this and I can know that a thousand people subscribe to my channel And then when I go to 100,000 subscribers, I could put it into a tangible physical plaque on the wall And that meant that I had 100,000 subscribers It sort of helped me understand what 100,000 subscribers means And now as we grow more and more and more I think I need more objects because I definitely do not understand I can't wrap my head around 250,000 of you clicking subscribe on my youtube channel Okay guys, and I think that's actually a perfect place to end this video I'm gonna close it over here I have had so much fun taking this trip down memory lane Having all this nostalgia looking through all of my older videos So thank you guys for suggesting all the different videos for me to react to Over on Instagram Don't forget to follow me over there if you don't already Let me know in a comment down below which videos I should have reacted to Or any of your own reactions or comments to my older videos If you haven't seen them I think that is it for me I hope you guys are having a wonderful day Happy studying, happy chilling, happy working Whatever it is you're doing And I'll see you in the next one Peace So I put out a- Had me out like a light-y Like a light-y Oh no I don't need to bring this back I don't need to bring this back Ah Might have to cut that out in the edit
