Seven Ways to Actually Start Practicing
So everyone knows that the hardest part of practicing is actually making your way to the practice room. Even this semester, with my recital coming up, I’ve made it all the way to the basement of the music building, totally intending to practice, then turned left and wound up in the music lounge and not practiced/practiced way less than I should have, instead. Getting into the practice room is 80% of the battle - now, how to actually get yourself there? Well, here’s seven ways how to do that.
Have a countdown on your lock screen to when your next performance is. Not gonna lie, knowing that my recital (yes I’m going to keep mentioning this it is my life right now) is in 25 days really keeps me focused. Knowing when you’re going to be performing that stuff helps keep you on task, because you know where you want to be and you know EXACTLY how long you have to get there.
Get some Bribery Tea. Or chocolate, or mints, or some other small but tasty thing. Be strict with yourself and only consume the Bribery Tea (/chocolate/mint/cookie) AFTER you’ve practiced for a decent amount of time in a day.
Be super consistent with practice times. The days I get the most practicing done are Tuesdays and Thursdays, because I have a two-hour, uninterrupted stretch of time both days which I have dedicated, 100%, to practicing. That’s all I’ve used that time period for for the past semester. I may not practice consistently other days, because stuff creeps into those other times, but by golly Tuesday and Thursday practice will happen. See if you can do the same thing,
Set an alarm on your phone and don’t let yourself turn it off until you are IN the practice room. There’s nothing quite like a never-ending repetition of the Marimba ringtone to bring even the most ardent procrastinator to their knees. If you don’t turn it off until you get to the room, you’ll get there pretty goshdarn quick just to have an excuse to turn it off.
Have your best friend promise to irritate the heck out of you until you practice. They will JUMP at the chance if your best friend is anything like mine. That’s what best friends do - irritate each other out of love. Having an actual human holding you accountable on a daily basis can work wonders.
Think of that one pianist who’s so dedicated that they’re still at the practice room until 9pm on a Friday night - don’t let them show you up toooo badly. Pianists, pretend I wrote “violinist” up there. If they can spend ¾ths of their waking hours in a practice room, you can probably manage an hour or two a day.
Remember that you actually LIKE YOUR INSTRUMENT. I presume you chose to major in music or take lessons because you actually like playing your instrument, right? If not, go take some time to reevaluate what you’re doing. If not, go do that thing you like doing! Maybe at the start or end of every practice session, work on a piece you enjoy that you aren’t doing in lessons. Do it for the love of it! That will help a lot, I think.
And there’s your tips. Don’t get too down about not practicing as much as you think you should! Just try to make tomorrow a better practice day!
me: *looks through tumblr to find inspiration to practice today because i want to be productive*
me: *realizes i've just spent an hour on tumblr procrastinating instead of actually practicing*
me: oh shit

If you're openly vegan...
And everyone knows that, is there a reason that everytime you Instagram a picture of your food you have to remind people that it is in fact still vegan? Is it because you’re not really vegan if you don’t remind people about it? Is it a preventative measure to make sure new followers and friends know that you are in fact, better than everyone else? “Here’s a picture of my VEGAN grilled cheese, omg amazing tastes just like the real thing, but I don’t eat the real thing because that’s disgusting and all the cheese mongers will die off first.” I got a picture for you guys, it’s of my vegan middle finger.
#vegan #eattherainbow #nature
It’s a preventative measure so that people don’t call us hypocrites. Every time we post food that isn’t obviously vegan we inevitably get “thats cheesecake aren’t you supposed to be vegan lol” “you can’t eat that you’re vegan” “OMG such a fucking hypocrite vegan.” So to avoid this shit we tag it vegan or specifically state that it is. And you’d think that’d be good enough… But no, because when we do that, whiny ass carnists complain because we’re “shoving it in everyone’s faces.” We literally can’t win. So if it bothers you that much, tell us what we can do to make you leave us the fuck alone and let us post harmless pictures of our food in peace.
This meme is timeless honestly.
“Are you sure you can’t have a little bit of fish?” 🐟😑
Things that vegans are tired of hearing.
im tired of saudi women being used as this like nightmare concept like “dont complain women in saudi arabia can’t even drive” like… saudi women are alive and kicking and unless you care about starting a real conversation about saudi women’s rights shut up and shove an entire truck up your ass before you bring them into ur mouth as an anti-feminist gotcha tactic
Jon Stewart had a few words for the people who cry about wanting their country back
I’ve missed Jon Stewart so dang much. The daily Show just isn’t the same without him.
I’m glad he once again called out Fox News for their BS and those “I’m from Real America” people who act like they are the only “real” Americans. #Love it!
i am a forehead kiss hoe…. give me all the forehead kisses in the world. come on. i’m ready.
someone: i think the world of you and i appreciate you being in my life, you’re smart and talented and beautiful. i love you.
me, a person who is unable to respond well to compliments and has trouble expressing emotions: *finger guns* cool beans
“it would be impossible for this disabled character to be played by a disabled actor because of the things this character can do in this movie” well then maybe…… you fucked up in the writing of this disabled character……
also cgi exists. if you need your disabled character to walk for a couple of scenes use a body double and green screen. this can also be used for trans characters prior to transition.
if it’s possible to make chris evans look 5ft nothing and skinnier than a maypole then it’s possible to cast disabled actors for disabled characters
The Spy Kids films had disabled actor Ricardo Montalbán play the kids’ disabled grandpa, and in the third movie he was CGI’d into an Iron-Man style bodysuit that made him look like he was able to walk and take part in a high-speed futuristic car race and other action sequences. And this was in 2003. If a goofy kids’ franchise can do it using embarassingly bad early 2000s CGI, you have literally no excuse.
systems of gendered/sexual oppression generally don’t care about identities that aren’t historically coherent to it. if i’m panromantic shdjsjsnensjsidissexual snjjdidjsbootycheek-gender and i am still perceived as a woman i’m getting hit by misogyny and maybe even getting some spoils of straight priv if i’m with someone who reads as a cis man. not a big deal u guys smh u don’t gotta lie bout this on the intanets
