In this episode, we first caught up with each other for our reading week and how we felt over the week: Yen Shan going on holiday and Glory feeling low in energy.

Then we discuss our experiences of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in secondary school and university, why we get FOMO due to unhappiness and insecurities, how we feel inclined to say yes to everything despite having too much on our plates already (especially in first year!). Then we also discuss our experiences and negatives with social media, particularly Instagram stories and the pressures of posting and the idea of the. 'highlight reel'. We also go through tactics and ways to overcome our FOMO: being grateful, reflection and surrounding yourself with good people.
