Hello my friends!
As you know from a few weeks back, I have had some life-changing news to share with you, but because I didn’t want to jump the gun and tell you before it was 100% confirmed, I left you waiting in dispense… until now!
I am extremely happy, excited and proud to say that I applied to do an MA in Music Industries at BCU and got accepted!! YAAAAY!!!!
Some of you might say that me getting accepted was a no-brainer considering I’ve been working on-&-off in the Music Industry for a while, but let me tell you something, it definitely wasn’t!
Before I started my BA I had this glorified image of university and what it would be like, and sadly, my university years were mostly horrible and down-right depressing. And if that wasn’t enough, there was never really any encouragement or help from any of my lecturers either, despite the fact that I, in a way, were paying them for a service. They had their small share of “favourites” who they helped and “took care of”, and in a way wrote the rest of us off – or that’s what it felt like anyway because I never ever got the support or help or encouragement that I wanted/needed/asked for. They just made me feel really shit and stupid.
In hindsight, I can probably say that the only positive thing that came out of my bad uni experience was that I, in a way, worked much harder in my “working life” to make up for all the things I thought I had been bad at when it came to my studies, and had that not been the case, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.
But having that said, I’m slightly torn about how to feel about getting accepted. I mean… I am genuinely so so sooooo happy and excited about the prospect of working with fantastic people like Andrew Dubber, Tim Wall, Jon Hickman and more. And I know that if it hadn’t been for Andrew’s encouragement to apply this year and Tim’s great advice and help on whether I would have time to do it part-time and work full-time, I probably wouldn’t have applied and got accepted in the first place. But honestly speaking, I am also shitting myself because I’m slightly insecure and scared that I might not be cut out for it, not smart enough and so on.
However, I have decided to ignore those feelings for the time being and just enjoy being happy and excited and proud.
If it matters a little bit then please allow me to say, that despite I haven’t had the chance to deeply know you, I still feel I do. And because of this I have a strong faith in you, admiration and respect and have no doubts that you don’t just do well while doing your MA, but you are going to do exceptionally and incredibly well swiping everyone and everything off their feet. With your internal and external beauty, incredible intelligence and determination as well as your knowledge of the music industry and music in general.
That’s how I see you and I wish I could give you a mirror little miss sunshine to see yourself in the same way like I do:)
Congratulations! :) xxx
