My first year studying abroad at a Scottish university tested me in ways I didn't expect and changed me in the best ways, too.

This episode is the 5 quotes that got me through it all: anxiety spirals, unexpected drama, and the pressure to have a perfect Instagram life in the most aesthetic town in Scotland.

One came from my mom. One came from Pinterest. The others, I couldn't tell you. All of them, I still say to myself.

Come chat with me.

Now that first year is officially over and hindsight is 20/20, I wanted to sit down and share some thoughts on how university has shaped my faith over the past nine months. My faith has been such a huge part of my experience at St Andrews, and so many of the lessons I've learned this year have been shaped by it. This is definitely one of the more personal episodes I've recorded, and a conversation I've been wanting to have for a while. I hope you all enjoy.

Being such an international university, living abroad is a shared experience for many students at St Andrews. While it can be incredibly rewarding, the more challenging realities are often left unspoken. Listen now to find out more.

St Andrews might be small, but its fashion scene is anything but. In a town where runway shows are a Friday night norm, style becomes part of everyday life. Come chat with me all about St. A fashion, culture, and the unspoken art of dressing like every street is your runway.

St Andrews is referred to as “the bubble” for a reason. It’s easy to get swept up in the University’s all-consuming culture and forget this small town isn’t the whole world. In this episode, Claire and I chat about how she found her own niche, which helped her stay true to herself and reminded her that there is a world beyond our bubble.

It's undeniable that performative men have taken over the streets of St. Andrews, but how are they affecting the St. Andrews dating scene?

Happy Refreshers’ Week! In honor of the start of the second semester, I thought we’d flash back a few months to Freshers’ Week here at St A -- and chat honestly about what it’s really like with our podcast’s FIRST GUEST, Karoline Foss. Freshers’ Week can be a scary time for everyone: navigating a new place, adjusting to a new routine, and meeting entirely new people. Luckily for me, on just my second day in St A, I met my best friend, Karo. So, join us as Karoline reveals the highs and lows of Freshers’ Week and shares some insight along the way.
