Hello, all! As the title says, I'll be moving to Finland in a week. I'm an African coming for a bachelor's degree at TUNI. While I've had a lot of advice from TUNI student tutors and articles from different sites, any not-so-known or underrated one you have will be very much appreciated.
During wintertime, it's the darkness that hits you the most, not the cold. Even in south, there's only few hours of proper daylight. People with darker skin should use vitamine D supplements.
Am I the exception here? I don't do D-vitamin supplements at all. Although I do occasionally take (drink) multivitamin "fizzy tab" after I have woken up. I've been thinking to drop it. It seems to only taste good.
Thanks! I've actually been worried about the cold. The lowest temperature I've experienced here was still above 10°C. Freezing and below freezing temperatures... I shudder at the thought.
Which part of Africa are you from? Moving in the summer is a great idea, but be prepared for the dark autumn. Until the snow falls it can be tough... Don't forget to take your vitamin D.
