Sweden Does Not Need Quarantine (w/ Majken)

<description>&lt;p&gt;After three months in Sweden, it's time to ask someone for help to explain all the Swedish things. Together with Majken, we discuss what is it like to study here, how Swedish mentality copes with university group projects, especially when I'm not delivering the pages I'm supposed to write. *Sorry for that.*&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode:&lt;/strong&gt; Sweden and education, Swedish mentality, Evaluating Brand Management group project and everything around it&lt;/p&gt;

Coronavirus Makes Me Love Learning

<description>&lt;p&gt;Upside Under will be out the next week!&lt;/p&gt;
</description>

Upside Under will be out the next week!

Get ready

I'm undergrad student, engaged in war with study motivation. This podcast is my latest attempt to grab the upper hand and defeat procrastination.
The idea goes like this:
Whenever I encounter ideas, people, facts &amp; skills I want to know more about, I'll do an episode about them. I'll try to explore all that is under their upsides and hopefully learn something new along the way.

Wish me luck.

Upside Under
