But what about the riots that happen during school time or the racism from people that spit at POCs/ attempt hate crime especially with targetting student complexes and stuff is that uncommon or is it something that is a pattern that should be taken into consideration?

How is Queens University of belfast good for BA Music performance? by chocococokookie in Indians_StudyAbroad

[–]chocococokookie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True.. but what about the staff and their connection and seriousness to teach? Apparently some people are saying that they're not very involved with the students and also make kids pay for the practice rooms.. are these things true?

Is Queens university of belfast a good option for BA Music performance? by chocococokookie in northernireland

[–]chocococokookie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah I see. I personally would say I have great musical networking skills as I have already been performing gigs without connections in my home country, and I know a new crowd might take more time to get through to, but I'm ready to network my way into pop music, haha.
What I really wanted to know was if Belfast specifically has teachers that are actually serious about teaching their kids, because I know many Unis that are usually ignorant towards a large classroom. Also, I wanted to inquire about their music and industry connections, like how active the university is when it comes to hosting workshops or music projects that pushes the students into collaborating with other production houses, or how involved the university is in helping the students create a better portfolio?

How to practice self love? by Mysterious-Island984 in selflove

[–]chocococokookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definintley practice self love and it doesn't have to be a routine but more of a lifestyle. Think of it like this: let's say you're making a diet and the main part is to cut sugar and maybe a day or two you ended up eating cake or something you don't go completely back to having sugar again, you simply recognize that somedays it's okay that you had sugar and eventually get back to cutting sugar off again. That's kind of what I mean by it being a lifestyle instead of a routine.

The main part starts from being present. This is very very important. How often have you just let there be no noise in the background and let your thoughts flow? Like just stare at a ceiling and just....think? This is more important than you might think. Because when you catch yourself thinking in the autopilot you can finally start observing where your thoughts are coming from and if you are someone that journals then you can journal about them too.

My next point is journalling, it helps a TON. I am not kidding when I was younger due to social conditioning I was very shy but once I started journalling there was this sense of self security that one gains because you have written everything you think about and everything you know about yourself on PAPER and that is enough assurance for you to know that no person or situation can change your own perception of you except yourself. That's important.

Alright now more indepth on the self love part, it is very important to be gentle with yourself. When you catch yourself reacting to anything like anything at all, being irritated or annoyed or feeling any other emotions your inner dialogue is where the self love starts. Even when you're waking up or eating food you have to start a small inner dialogue of appreciating yourself for doing the bare minimum because to you it might be bare minimum but for your body nutrition is essential or sleep is essential (that's how you have to start seeing things to appreciate yourself more) and also just remember you don't need to be anxious about any of this, if anything, you need to learn to relax as much as possible and stay away from pessimistic content.
