Everything in life is fleeting, so remember to cherish every moment while it lasts. In this episode of Buddy Time, we sit down with Crystal (@cyjjing), a university student from Singapore with a passion for connecting with others and exploring new environments. Crystal shares her insights on the culture of 'internship chasing' that has become prevalent in Singapore, shedding light on the pressures and expectations students face as they strive to build their careers early on—to some, a crucial stepping stone toward the 'Singaporean Dream.' Crystal offers valuable tips on how to prepare for exchange programs or internships abroad, from navigating the application process to adapting to life in a foreign country. Plus, she provides practical advice on how to 'ice-break' with new friends and make the most of your experience in a new environment.
