8 September - 14 mins
Podcast Series
iRadio's Groupchat
Starting college can feel like a high at first - CAO night, the debs, graduation, freshers week — and then the comedown hits. Valerie is joined by Craig to talk about that sudden loneliness that can creep in when everything finally goes quiet.
Craig opens up about commuting alone for the first time, how even small changes can mess with your head, and why staying busy didn’t actually fix what he was feeling.
They also chat clubs and societies, the pressure of “everyone’s grand” on social media, and what colleges and students’ unions could do to change how we talk about loneliness - even when you’re surrounded by people.
