Hey, there! This week I am joined by my dear friend Melanie. Before our tea talk, I introduce her. We get to know Mela as she answers rapid-fire questions about memories, goals, inspiration, and summer plans. Firstly, we talk about her academic career at Notre Dame: majors, coursework, activities, friendships, vibes, and plans. Secondly, I ask Melanie about moving abroad during a pandemic: advice on living alone, keeping in touch, loneliness, and excitement. Thirdly, Mela teaches us how she has such lovely energy: how she deals with stress, stays humble, organizes her life, and makes others feel welcome. Lastly, she asks me questions about moving to France and shares miscellaneous recommendations.
