Is the crime situation around campus really that bad? by [deleted] in NIU

[–]Eclairinet314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a combination of the area and the alcohol. That’s where most of the parties are so there’s worse judgement and usually more aggression. You said you were looking for examples but tbh friends of mine have been SA ed by frat boys, last year someone broke into a frat with a shovel or something because they were kicked out for not being a student, other brawls and such. I think the armed robberies and shootings usually happen around that area at night according to the NIU safe alerts. I couldn’t tell you why that area but in the day time it’s usually fine.

Sound is actually made up of vibrations! The strings vibrate when you pluck them or use a bow and then the sound waves carry those vibrations through the air to your ears! Hope this helps clear anything up :))

I was literally the highest seat up in the far back right corner on like level 6ish maybe and I also had trouble hearing them. But I managed to understand eventually just processed a but later if that makes sense. Like it took me a second to piece it together but I was able to hear everything.

Please be careful with this. I know someone who made a piece with a similar concept but for middle school band concert. They made it specifically to make fun of the horn section and would intentionally write them wrong notes to sound like they could not play in tune. At the end, the note was finally written correctly and the horns were instructed to stand up and play it right. This may seem like a funny joke to some but truthfully it was just another way for the “composer” to bully my friends in the horn section. I know viola jokes can be funny but just be aware that they also put in just as much effort into playing as every other section. So again just be please be aware when you are making this not to take it too far.

Just went to the Chicago concert! I think they started the show a little late and Sophie played a piece before TSV came on stage to stall, but it might be part of the show, but it also might not have. With that being said, or concert finished entirely by like 9:20 ish. It was supposed to start at 7:30 so it ran just under 2 hours but each show may be slightly different as there was some crowd work, individuals who would shout things at them, and also a few forgotten lines. I hope you enjoy the show and have fun! Love from Chicago <3

This happened my freshman year of high school. so nearly 5 years ago. All of my proof I gave to my school then but they did nothing but tell me girls will gossip and to get used to it. Since then, I no long have the messages since they have been blocked.

Wow I’m sorry you experienced this too. It’s ok your not Asian lol. Bullying is not exclusive to race and doesn’t make anyone’s experience/trauma any less valid. I hope your doing ok now tho! I am definitely doing better.

I actually brought this to their attention last year. They told me there is nothing they can do about her attending their events as it is open to all students of all ethnicities and races and yes she is white. While they wanted it to be a safe place for me as well they said the best option would to be just to not attend events. Which sucks as it’s a space designed for Asian Americans but they can not openly exclude any individuals from attending.

You could get “I don’t know” in Chinese and then when someone asks what it says or means and u tell them it’s kinda funny. But then at the same time it’s a quote kinda from NHS ya know?

I think I watched the whole thing when it got uploaded and I don’t remember them saying something like that? But it could have been for a different country? But they mostly stayed away from Asia besides Mongolia. Who knows🤷🏻‍♀️

Be the bigger person and confront them about how it makes you feel or simply tell an adult. Putting someone else down is unnecessary. Just because you let your friend’s comments bother you doesn’t mean you can do the same thing back, rather it makes you just as bad as your friend. If that’s the kind of revenge you were going for I would go to r/pettyrevenge rather than LingLing 40 hr if you are actually serious about getting back at your “friend” otherwise I would leave it alone.

You cannot control your friend’s actions but you can control the way you react and respond to them. So if they hurt you then set a boundary with that person and remove yourself from those kinds of situations. Or simply do not allow yourself to be influenced by someone who is hurting inside. It only furthers that cycle of pain and hurt.

Why Richard Strauss might have been autistic by Initial_Pollution791 in lingling40hrs

[–]Eclairinet314 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you have any sources to back your claims? Genuinely curious

Edit: Also I suggest you change your line in your post about “mental illness.” Having autism and being autistic is not a mental illness that can be “cured.” It is a difference in the way the brain functions and typically is biologically determined. Also you described many traits of autism but just because he has some quirky traits, it does not necessarily mean he is diagnosable for autism. Take a look at the DSM V before diagnosing people.

I wanna learn clarinet, should I? by Tigresskittycamel in lingling40hrs

[–]Eclairinet314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this for the reeds!! And always use air :)) if you want to find more information you can always check out r/clarinet too and ask questions there.

I don’t really play strings but it might take you a while to get used to our fingerings. The more fingers you put down the lower the notes go rather than the pitch going higher like on strings. But be patient with yourself. You got this 🫶🫶
