SOCIAL DANCING AND FIXING CARS – LEARN BOTH FROM JUSTIN!
With Justin in episode 25 of Humans of SDU, we are opening our mini-series of alumni stories. Justin comes from Romania but has lived in Denmark for over 5 years and he graduated from the University of Southern Denmark in 2019. So we have used this chance to ask him about all the adult things that arrive with graduation.
- What does he enjoy about not being a student anymore?
- Why does he like to learn to fix things by himself?
- What do you do when you get a really clumsy partner in social dancing?
How did we find Justin?
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you have a podcast – and focused on human stories, of all things! – there is only a certain number of interesting conversations you can have with your friend over a beer before you start convincing them to come on as a guest. This is exactly what happened with Miška and Justin – and luckily, he did not need much convincing. (The origin story of their friendship also includes a strip show – but to read more about that, head over to the story of Blaise who was also present!)
“I do like to do things by myself. I don’t like having a problem that I don’t know how to solve because then you don’t have control over it to an extent.”
JUSTIN
Even though we ask all our guests for one life hack, Justin shared a whole lot more of them in this intro to post-university a.k.a. adult life – but he also made us want to get up from behind the microphones and learn some bachata steps. There were also two additional points of value that came out of this episode. Sofie, who, just like Justin, studies computational biomedicine, learned how to comprehensively explain what she does to other people – and Justin realized it is actually “bearable” to listen to his own voice. Well, we would give it a better compliment – but decide for yourself when you listen to Justin and his story on this episode of Humans of SDU!
