    How to stay afloat under pressure, Mental health Awareness with MeWe | ストレスマナジメント

    Prioritizing one’s mental health above certain other matters in life is important, yet sometimes it is difficult to do so due to various reasons, including lack of study-work-life balance. Is it actually possible to strike such balance in hectic schedules we, as students, have? What resources are useful to maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle with priority given to our mental well-being? Why is mental health vital in the first place? All of these questions and more were addressed in our special episode made in collaboration with APU MeWe (Mental Wellness) student organization amid mental health awareness month. Our guests, Salome and Yonghee, who represent MeWe, gladly talked about their organization and mental health, in general. Give it a listen, leave your comments or thoughts and follow MeWe’s account for extra-useful mental health content and exciting events: @apu.mewe

    Marathon

    Our 8th episode featured the wonderful Japhta, a graduate school student who joined us in conversation about health, sports, wellbeing and joining a marathon! We enjoyed a long heart to heart conversation on the importance of physical well being and the need to listen to your body and acknowledge its demands. As students, we don't always have the time to be physically active but Japhta has proven otherwise. We discussed the upcoming Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon, an annual marathon held from Oita Umi no tamago to beppu kamegawa which is organised by Oita and Beppu city hall ! To all participants of the marathon, we wish you all the best :)) Guest profile Japhta Sibusiso Mdakane, MBA 2nd year Contect: md21s6pd@apu.ac.jp / sibusiso.mdakane@gmail.com

    Perks of living downtown / Downtown vs. Dorm

    In this episode, with our guest Purbi, we introduce our different lives downtown and in the dorm. If you’ve already moved downtown away from the dorm, you’ll be able to bring back your memories of your good days in the dorm. On the other hand, if you are an APHouse resident, you can have a better idea of where to visit, shop, and dine! Purbi and I also give advices for each other that you also may pick up for the betterment of your life. Experiencing the life in Beppu has always been entertaining while APU is also a great school where you can go beyond your limits. We hope you can pick up useful information in this episode with us!

    “Getting Older” 「歳を重ねること」

    Ep.6 is about the lifelong question: Getting Older. “We’re only getting older baby, and I’ve been thinking about it lately~…” This is from the song “Night Changes” by One Direction, and what it says is so true. Time ticks equally for everyone, and we all are getting older. The thing is, how we get older, the process and experience. In the episode, our host Ayane asks her mother Naoko questions about the idea of “Getting Older” and they discuss how we can deal with our lives. Let’s join them and imagine ourselves in the future. エピソード６のテーマは、「歳を重ねること」です。 もしかすると、歳を取りいつか死ぬことは、唯一全員に共通した運命なのかもしれません。問題は、どのように歳を重ねていくか。今回は、ホストのアヤネと母のナオコが、時間や経験、迷いとの向き合い方について親子トークを繰り広げます。世代や時代が違っても、大切なことは同じかも？新年は心新たに、２人と未来について想像してみよう。
