We started this podcast 2 years ago! It's been an incredible experience, and for our last episode of the school year (perhaps ever!?), we look back and reflect on this journey. We do not know what the future holds at this time, but as a favoured character in a book series by Brandon Sanderson would say: "It's about the journey, not the destination". Have a great summer!

You just can't avoid it! But you can control (sometimes) how you do it! Some prefer studying in a group, some individually. Nobody likes cramming but what do you do when you have to? This week we discuss our preferred studying habits and our best cramming strategies when time has run away with us.

Being good at interviews doesn't just happen naturally for most of us. It is a learned skill that will have an impact in your professional and personal lives (even meeting the in-laws! ;-)) Listen to Janet, Laura and Joela, who impressed me so much they should honestly run a workshop! I learned a lot myself, never having been taught any of these skills and never having done an online interview (the horror!). Their insight truly is wonderful, a must listen for everyone young and old trying to find a job!

This episode ran in April 2024 and is one of our most listened to episode. We think revisiting it could help new listeners as midterm season has already started or help second time listeners reflect on their progress handling test anxiety. It seems the entire world as cranked the stress levels to greater heights, so here is our little grain of salt to help deal with anxiety.

The majority of professors have office hours, whether they are virtual, in person, informal, formal, etc... What do you expect from office hours? Is there something profs could do to make them better, perhaps less stressful or intimidating for some students?

Happy New Year! New year, new opportunities! Planning ahead can pay off when you are a student seeking work, catching up or getting ahead with courses, or simply to travel during the summer. How do you plan to spend your summer?

Throughout our lives, as students and professionals, we are constantly under the pressure to perform and deliver (as it should be, within reason). So it is good when you can find something to unwind and relax, perhaps doing something with little cognitive demand, something entertaining, or something that connect us to the people in our lives or even nature. What do you do to relax?
