21/07/2025: On Sunday, I experienced racial abuse from an elderly man in his sixties at Costa in Shankill. Accompanied by my nine-year-old daughter and my younger brother, I witnessed an unsettling encounter. The man struggled to use the card machine, resembling an iPad, prompting my brother to politely suggest that he tap the top part. In response, the man aggressively retorted, "Mind your own f-ing business and go back to where you came from." He further stated, "You are in Ireland now." When I asked him to elaborate on that statement, he refused to respond. I also heard him mumble something about being a woman, though I couldn't catch the exact words. His behavior escalated as he began licking his lips and eyeing me in an unsettling manner. He had a distinct accent, which I could not pinpoint—possibly African or New Zealand—but it was clearly foreign. When I confronted him regarding his remarks and inquired about his origins, he merely laughed and declined to answer. This experience has left me feeling unsafe about returning to that Costa. Such behaviour is utterly unacceptable and should not be tolerated in our community.

05/07/2025: Bright, spacious café on two floors. The barista (tall, red-haired guy) was very fast and skilled, yet he always found the time to smile. Perfect spot for meet-ups and my cortado was delicious!

10/12/2025: Griffith College – Psychology Bachelor’s Degree Review I joined Griffith College thinking I’d be getting a solid Psychology degree. Shoutout to the few lecturers who actually showed up for their students — you were the only thing keeping this place from being a total flop. The rest? Absolute chaos. The departments don’t talk to each other, so every tiny issue turns into a full-blown scavenger hunt. Wanna know your assignment results? Be prepared to chase five different offices. Can’t log into Zoom? Same circus. My personal breaking point was the tuition fees. First, I was told €8K. Then it was suddenly €4K. Then they emailed me a random Excel screenshot like, “here ya go.” When I asked for clarification, I got the iconic line: “It’s provided in the screenshot?” (aka: “Can you read?”). Professionalism who So I went full detective mode emailing other colleges, researching transfers, stressing myself out… only to find out the actual tuition I owed was €255. Yup. Two hundred and fifty-five euros. Because when I switched from full-time to part-time, I had already paid for those modules last year. Meaning all the chaos, stress, and wasted time? Completely unnecessary. They could’ve just told me that from the start. Instead, they let me spiral while sending me Excel screenshots like they were serving Michelin-star information. If you enjoy unhelpful replies, endless email loops, and numbers that change more than Irish weather, Griffith is the place for you.

09/12/2025: Imagine charging more then 10 grand to stay there and you stop people from staying over past 10 o'clock your dorm should be able to do what you want with it
