Are grades getting you down even if you're passing all of your courses? Is the topic of mental health amongst students important to you? Do you feel like your failures are never understood by the people around you?

In this episode, we talk about this and a lot more with university student May Harvey, who shares with us her experience with the pressure to not feel like a failure; how students perceive what is or isn't an academic ‘success’; and how over-striving in your studies can sometimes have a negative effect on your mental health.
