Hiiii guys, 

Just wanted to share a little well-being tip! I'm a uni student and currently uni is all online. This can feel quite lonely - I'm definitely missing my study dates and library sessions with friends! 

However, I have started listening to the radio while doing my work and it honestly helps me a tonne. I listen to radio 1, and not only is there good music, but they also do a bunch of interactive features with people calling in, and sharing people's funny stories and confessions etc. Because of this, it means you get to hear so many different people's voices and learn about different people's lives and even just what's happening with their day. For me, this makes me feel so much more connected to the world and I just love it! 

Just thought I would share incase anybody else was feeling lonely and might like to give it a try :smile:

    Sometimes I like to listen to the radio to help me focus whether it is at school or at home if I need to finish some revision or an assignment. It is amazing and I reccomend listening to Magic Radio. If you want to listen to it you need to tune into 105.4

    The radio also helps me to get to sleep. Usually I would spend about an hour every night tossing and turning but now it only takes me about 20 minutes to fall asleep.

    That's great @Dancer ! I've never thought of listening to the radio to get to sleep, but that's something I'd like to try for sure :smile:
