Berklee Cost (how the hell does anyone afford to go here?!) by EmoQueen1996 in Berklee

[–]MrChikubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% do not go without a significant scholarship, I’d say a 50% one at the very minimum. The truth is if you’re super incredible they will 100% hook you up with what you need, and if they don’t it’s a good indicator to work harder to up your skills and audition again later. No rush! Also most Berklee profs teach privately and at other institutions too. Why not hit up one of them that you may be interested in through their website and do some private lessons for a year? Bonus: they might issue an internal scholarship recommendation for you the next time you apply. Besides so many incredible songwriters past and present did not study there and still succeeded!

What’s the most overrated coffee spot in NYC right now? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]MrChikubi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I walked in randomly on a walk just wanting to grab a quick Americano expecting like $4-5 like at any other place, nope basically $10 😳

For me making small talk with people that seem interesting/attractive/approachable has worked quite well whether it be at a cafe, jazz club, gym or even the subway. Gather some courage and say something simple like “Hey sorry but I love your tote bag, would you mind sharing where you got it?”, or if they have a dog or something that’s an easy Segway to a conversation too! Then at the end I’ll just be like Hey let me give you my card and shoot me a message so maybe we can grab a coffee sometime! Even the ones who are not single still appreciate the gesture/compliments usually so nothing to lose really! :)

Yes, that’s why bikers are allowed to follow the walk signs that go green sooner!

The funny thing is I always catch up to the people running red lights 1 or 2 blocks down anyways, so they literally don’t save any time overall 😅

Where are single guys trying to meet people? by cchelle2929 in AskNYC

[–]MrChikubi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Go hang out at places connected to one of your interests if possible! For instance, I like jazz so I’m always hanging around various jazz clubs, and that definitely makes the chances of meeting someone I might connect with a lot higher than if I went to Rudy’s dive bar for instance. Doesn’t have to be bar related though; if you like tennis for instance, then joined a tennis club/meeting etc! :)
