The (Freshers) Big Three: Friends, FOMO, Flatcest

Season 1, Ep. 2
•

In our second episode, we’ll face the three fears of Freshers' Week: making friends, dealing with FOMO, and how to deal with flatcest.

Approaching these topics with (scatty) anecdotal evidence and a good deal of extrapolation from our own experiences as "silly freshies" at Cambridge University, we focus on demystifying this often-glamourised first week at uni.

We'll talk about the importance of putting yourself out there in sustainable ways, and how to deal with the pressures of drinking and hookup culture, before Dialing Emma to unpack this week's Dilemma: what do you do if you've signed to live with someone you fancy next year?!
