We’re taking you back to our classroom days in today’s episode! Looking back a few years, we reminisce on what we were like as students in secondary/ high school and then later on during our internships and university, our attitudes towards studying and grades and how that may have changed over time. * We’d love to hear from you - leave this or that question suggestions and topic ideas for us via DM ⬇️⬇️⬇️ * Find us on Instagram: @onceamonthforbrunch Email: [email protected]

“This was a topic I had originally put down for what would have been our next episode in 2023 At the time I had just finished most of my exams, wasn’t studying as much and was mainly working. But I still felt like i was still in that fight mode I was in during exam season. … It’s a few months since then now and while I don’t feel the same way anymore I thought this topic would still be relevant. Because now, I do have more of a routine, I feel I’ve got a good system going on and so it would be interesting to compare how things were then to how they are now and what got me here.” - Nana * We’d love to hear from you - leave this or that question suggestions and topic ideas for us via DM ⬇️⬇️⬇️ * Find us on Instagram: @onceamonthforbrunch Email: [email protected]
