Gossip. Sarcasm. “Just being honest.” 😬

Are we speaking life, or just saying whatever we feel in the moment?

This week on Life and the Uni-verse, Lydia is joined by Austin, McKenna and Marcus to get real about the power of words. Why do the things people said years ago still stick? Are Americans actually better at encouragement than Brits? 👀And when does “sharing” cross the line into straight-up gossip?

And in this week’s Campus Conundrum… you’re heading on a year abroad, your relationship is solid - but long distance? That doesn't sound fun. 🌍💔 Do you risk it… or end things while it’s still good?

It’s just a show… right? 😅

And in this week’s Campus Conundrum… you’re throwing a birthday party, but someone you didn’t invite is going around chatting rubbish about you. 🎉😬 Do you confront them? Ignore it? Clap back?
