Ep 20: International Student Struggles with Temmy Mthethwa

10/21/22 • 38 min

In this week's episode, I chat with biology and English literature student, Temmy Mthethwa. We talk about Temmy’s experience moving to Montreal in Canada. She also shares her experience living in residence at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, where she was forced to book a last-minute flight back home. Finally, she talks about immigration struggles - something most international students can relate to.
Temmy is from the Kingdom of Eswatini. She completed her International Baccalaureate at Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA. She is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in English Literature at Concordia University.

Ep 21: Fall Feels

Happy November! As beautiful as fall is, it is usually a period of increased anxiety for me; largely anticipatory anxiety for the long cold winter ahead. In this week's episode, I talk about the ways in which I have been trying to make the most of the fall season and how I am preparing for winter.
Episode notes:
The humidifier I use: ASAKUKI Essential Oil Diffuser 400ML
Therapy lamp: Verilux® HappyLight® Lucent - UV-free LED Light Therapy Lamp
(Note: This isn't the same lamp I ordered, but it is very similar. The one I ordered is no longer available. In the episode I mention that it is a UV lamp - I was wrong. It is UV-free!)
