who is AMI: "Ami" is a shorter version of my name. It was made up by my parents, and originates from "Амелія". The time I made my first social media (aged 11) my name began with a lowercase, in honour of my younger self, who most likely didn't know that all names must start with a capital. Later, scolded by my mother, I should not disrespect myself, how I must edit my name to an uppercase as it shows dignity. Aged 17, I changed my social media name to "ami", again, in honour of my younger self: all the things you dreamed of us becoming and the things we have already become.

    Back to schooool cheeckk! This episode is above all a space for me to get my shit together about my current (non-linear) transition from school to university.

    school is a privilege why?

    WARNING: This episode is the collection of thoughts I came up with by myself over the process of constant reflection and a series of experiences. This is the reality I find comforting to live by and might not necessarily align with how YOU want to or view it already. In no way am I suggesting that school isn't a privilege; this discussion deals with what I actually mean when I say this, because until recently, I wasn't even questioning this statement. Now that I do it, it helps me to identify the extent to which school is an amazing thing full of opportunity and ultimately PRIVILEGE (although still containing its flaws) that helps me to expand as a holistic person, not only as a student. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and enjoy my debate with myself on what my yapp actually means.

    pretending to be film bachelor

    Went to a university open day on Valentine’s Day (check out my Instagram for a recap of the solo date). As usual, the event couldn’t have gone uneventful, hence a deep reflection on my academics and future university choices. If you don’t know what bachelor's degree to choose for uni, this one is especially for you!  A book I mentioned: “101 essays that will change the way you think” by Brianna Wiest

    i traveled in time to change my high school experience

    references in the episode:  Gizmo app - ai flashcards Noteful - note-taking appYou can probably hear the excitement in my voice while listening, which pretty much sums up how I’m feeling about podcasting recently. This episode sometimes goes beyond school and into the depths of my personal viewpoints on education and the kind of opportunity it presents, and partially traps one in. Overall:  MUNhotelsfeeling like Madeline Argy study/school advice Enjoy me nerd in the 6th yapp session of the year!

    fame, shame & sexuality

    Basically, tearing apart between nurturing my sexuality and noticing self-sexualisation patterns. A discussion rooted in self psycho analysis, re-shaping old beliefs, considering new possible pathways, and most importantly, getting vulnerable.

    new year, same me?

    New mindset & similar habits. It’s second week of 2026 podcasting streak, so it’s time to address the year itself! In my self-centered monologue, I picked up a tendency of making my point quickly and drifting off into talking about other side quests.

    Princess treatment vs. Opening doors for men

    New year, new podcast, and she’s finally back. With a dramatic entrance, we start 2026 with one of my “past year’s” discovery in regards ways of expressing affection. I get into masculinity and femininity, and how it manifests differently depending who I’m talking to. Obviously, I wouldn’t miss a moment without mentioning psychology, this time its Identity Theory. And overall, monologuing about the comparisons between my past lover and the current excitement person.
