So I'm so pleased to introduce to you Suzanne Magister, right? MacCusker. MacCusker again. Yeah. And Suzanne works at the University of Washington, Tacoma, as you know, and she is a great advisor to psychology. And she's a wonderful person to talk to maybe after the workshop. And she's going to cover all the requirements you need by admission to the psychology program. So Suzanne, thank you. Thank you. All right, so what I tried to put together is all of the information you need on transferring, declaring the psychology major, and then other interesting information, hopefully, that you'll find interesting about the program and a little bit more about what we do and what opportunities there are and that sort of thing. If you have any questions at any time, feel free. Please ask. And then we can certainly talk more at the end as well about any other things that you might have questions about. So OK, so your first question may be more about logistical. How do you get to UWD? Really, you have to meet some fairly reasonable admission requirements. You have to have a minimum of 45 credits. You have to have intermediate algebra with at least a 2.0. You have to have English proficiency, whether that's through composition or perhaps the TOEFL or something similar to that. You've got to complete two years of world language and have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. Now, the two years of world language can be satisfied in multiple ways, really. If you completed two years of the same foreign language in high school, we will accept that. If you take two quarters of the same language while you're here, we'll accept that also. Or if you don't do it in either of those first two places, if you don't take your world language until you get to UWT, that's totally fine, too, as long as you complete two quarters of the same language. That's actually a requirement that has to be completed prior to graduation. So even though we list it as an admission requirement, it's preferred that you have it done by the time you get to UWT. But if you don't, that's OK, too. The one thing that you may find that leads you to take it here is that you will have more opportunities for different languages here. At UWT, we only offer Spanish and Chinese at this point. So if you want French or German or something else, look for it somewhere else. It makes it easier for you if that's what your preferred language is. Step number two, really, is to apply. Even if you don't think you're ready, even if you don't have your AA, feel free. Apply. If you meet these criteria, you're eligible. You will receive an admission decision based on your circumstance. So each application is individually reviewed. And really, if you meet these minimum criteria, then there's no reason you wouldn't be admitted. Now, of course, that's no official guarantee. I don't speak for admissions or anything like that. But that's really what their perspective is. We are currently accepting applications for winter, spring, and autumn quarters of next year. Priority deadline for winter, I believe, was two days ago. But as far as I have heard right now, applications are still being accepted. If you are applying, if you're thinking of applying for winter, I would do it yesterday, as quickly as you possibly can, just so that we can try and get everything going for you. Because that's a short transition period from when you finish classes here to starting classes right after the first of the year at UWT. It's very, very quick. OK. So psychology is kind of one of those unique majors where it doesn't actually require a separate application. So you don't apply to UWT and then apply to psychology.  And then you finish up prerequisites. Once you finish up the prerequisites, as long as you've completed all the courses and you've got the minimum 2.0 grade in each course, you can declare the major. There is no additional personal statement. You don't have to fill anything else out. You don't have to pay for anything. So prerequisites, you must have five courses. Your general site, which kind of makes sense. Statistics, which is way better for you to complete here if you can because it prepares you to go into one of the important courses. Your two foundation courses, which are your 200 level intro to a particular subject. So you can see there's lifespan, abnormal, social, and then biopsychology are all ones that we accept as well. If you do decide to do a lifespan or an abnormal and you take both of those classes that are listed here, we will accept both classes. But only one will count towards a prerequisite. The other one counts as an elective. And that's because they want you to have a background in two different areas. So let's say you choose one lifespan and one abnormal, which is honestly the most common thing that students choose when they're transferring in. Then you've got a lifespan and an abnormal, and you meet the two prerequisites. Finally, you also have to have research methods, which here is site 250. If you complete site 250 here, and honestly, I think you'll see this repeat in another minute too, but save your materials, because you will be using those materials in our second research methods course that you would then take at UWT. If you're not able to take research methods here, that's OK. That's not going to set you back. And really, we just work it in with everything else, and it's totally fine. So I kind of got ahead of myself here. But what if you can't do everything here? It's still totally fine. You can be admitted to UWT as long as you meet the previous requirements that we just went in. As soon as you've completed the prerequisite courses, you can declare psychology as your major. What that means is you can come into UWT.  Once you complete the prerequisites, you see me or one of the other site advisors, and we officially move your major into psychology. In the meantime, not being declared in psychology doesn't prohibit you from taking site classes. So if you're finishing up the research methods and you want to take adolescent psychology at the same time, you can do that. We don't have any problem with that happening. You can also talk to a site advisor anytime you want to. We don't have a restriction against that either. So to talk to me or one of the other site advisors, you literally just have to send us an email or make an appointment with us. We will see you. So now what? You've gotten to UWT, then what happens? You complete 35 upper division psychology credits in the major, including our research methods two course. That's seven classes. What you effectively do are three classes at the 300 level, then two classes at the 400 level, research methods, and one final class at either 300 or 400 level, your choice. That's something that we can totally work on and try and choose classes that really fit your interests more than anything else. You also have to complete 15 upper division credits outside psychology. So these are kind of like your general education requirements. They can be courses in arts, film, literature, political science, history, sociology, those kinds of courses. And really, most students end up taking those courses towards the end of their program. And we tend to use them as electives to help buffer if you have a particularly heavy quarter. We might throw in an upper division film class or an upper division literature class as you enjoy those and then make your schedule a little bit more bearable and easier to work through. Some of our upper division psych classes are listed here.  And really, these are only a few of the 300 and 400 level classes. More of them are listed on our website, which we've got later, and we can always pull that up and look at it if you'd like to look at that too. So other requirements for earning the degree beyond the psych requirements? Of course. Like we talked, you have to complete world language. You must complete a minimum 180 credits. So if you transfer to UWT with 90 credits from Highline, you will then complete 90 more at UWT. Same principles apply. We do 15 credits a quarter, five credits a class. So your 90 credits would be basically six quarters. If you complete more than 90 credits at Highline, we can work with that too. It's pretty easy. And obviously, the opposite is also true. If you only complete 60 or 75 credits here, then we can still make that work to finish up at UWT. You've also got to have a minimum 2.0 GPA and then meet residency requirements, which your advisor will go into detail with you on those when it's necessary. Residency doesn't always apply to every student. And so as it says, your advisor will help you with all this. So the residency and completing any additional courses tend to be some of our more frequently asked questions. So if you do have a question on something like that, feel free to just reach out to one of us. We can help you with that. So beyond classes, what else is there? I'm sorry, let me back up. Totally hit the wrong thing. So one of the questions we get a lot is, how do I do other stuff beyond just sitting in the classroom for eight hours a week or however many hours a week? Research is a definite option for you. So Dr. Perron, you can see on top has a very nice smile. And he's very friendly. He teaches a lot of the developmental courses. So if you're interested in developmental psychology, you can see he teaches lifespan imaginative play, cultural context of developmental psychology. He'll teach our lifespan psychology course, adolescent psychology, things like that. And some of the research that he's done has been focusing on managing, attention-seeking behaviors in the classroom. And then he did an internship with a student that was Fundamentals in Integration of Counseling and Dance Therapy. He also spent some time this summer in Costa Rica, month and a half ago or so, and worked with Patch Adams and did clown kinds of stuff. It was really, really cool. And then Dr. Lee is focusing on the effect of stress on health behaviors and then addictive behaviors. So one of his current research projects is actually related to smoking in college students. And you can see he teaches health psychology, chemical dependency, and then the psychophysiology of stress. In addition to other courses like biopsychology or psychopharmacology, those kinds of courses. He's very much the scientific side of that sort of thing. So he tends to have room for research assistance pretty frequently, so that's kind of cool too. Internships are not required for graduation. A lot of our students think they are, but they're not. They are completely optional and if you want to participate in one, totally awesome. We'll help you do it along the way. Some of our recent internships, one we had through the Office of the Attorney General where the student participated in hiring and recruitment. And then St. Joseph Medical Center where the student really participated in more of a counseling kind of internship. I don't know which student that was, but to be honest, I'm guessing they were looking obviously at more of that clinical kind of graduate program after they finished up. And then local elementary schools, psychology. We tend to have a lot of students who are interested in school counseling or being school psychologists. So that's kind of a typical internship that some of our students would take advantage of. And then one that I thought was interesting was a student did an internship at a local animal shelter learning how human behavior relates to animal behavior and then trying to explain cats. I don't know about you, but I can't explain cats so if they could figure it out, that's kind of awesome. And this one's just kind of a hodgepodge. I wanted to show some of the things that we've done on campus recently. You can take part in ASUWT if you wanted to. We have a psychology club even though it kind of got cut off there on the bottom. We have first generation fellows which is a newer program to try and assist students who are first generation because the transition can be tough. But then we have, you can see Hendricks the Husky there and we actually just had our start of the quarter activities so there were like involvement fairs and career fairs that are going on this week and things like that. So there's lots of different opportunities to do things and become involved which is pretty fun. Okay, so then what about after graduation? Because you've gotten to the finish line and now you have to figure out what that next step is. Our recent students have gone into, you can see there's a huge list here of those who've gone into graduate study. A lot of our psychology majors pair the major with an education minor and then go into the graduate program that we have at UWT which certifies students to teach in K through eight schools so we have probably 12 to 15 of our recent graduates in that program right now. Some of our grads are also doing masters in social work or social welfare, master of arts and interdisciplinary studies and then there's a couple of students who actually enrolled at UW Seattle doing their school psychology program and another student doing the masters in applied child and adolescent psychology prevention and treatment and then we've got the industrial organizational psychology which is that students at Seattle University and the forensic psychology student is actually at John Jay College in New York. So that's kind of cool. And then some of the careers, finding our recent graduates honestly is kind of hard because sometimes after they graduate they kind of scatter so I had to stalk them on Facebook and online to try and figure out where they might be. But for example, one that I did have quite a bit of contact with is now working as an independent living specialist so she works with adults and teenagers who have developmental issues and then helps them to figure out how to live individually as adults and function in the adult world. So that's something that she's doing just with the bachelor's degree whereas obviously if you were thinking of being a family counselor or a school counselor, school psychologist, you're gonna need more than just the bachelor's degree. But that's obviously not something you have to figure out right at this moment. You don't even have to figure that out right as you get to UWT. That's something that you can talk to us about as you start getting through the first couple quarters and then really figure out what area it is you wanna focus on. Like you were saying, you have a couple of areas that you're really thinking about. This is where you have those conversations with us saying, hey, I want to do whatever after college, how do I get there? And that's where we look at these courses and say, ooh, take these courses, talk to this faculty person and do these things. And then by the time you graduate you're then prepared to go and do those things. So, okay, so some of the hopeful sites that we use all the time, and these are in your packets as well, so you don't have to necessarily worry about writing it down right now. The admission requirements for the campus is right up there at the top. Those are the requirements that we just went over at the beginning. So the 2.0, the world language, the intermediate algebra, the 45 credits, and the English proficiency. Psychology advising, that's where you can get to information about all the advisors, when we're available, and all that sort of fun stuff if you need an advisor. Your major requirements, which if you'd like to, we can look at those and I can show you what those look like as well. And then student organizations. So, as I mentioned, we do have a psychology club. There's a bunch of different dance clubs. There's clubs related to various ethnicities. There's all kinds of things. There's a bunch of different organizations that you could join if you wanted to. So if you want to contact me, easiest way at this point is email. I guess it's probably easier to say it's always email, to be honest. But send an email, you will get a response. And actually, if you'd like them, I brought some of my business cards with me as well. So that way you don't have to worry about necessarily writing down the email address. You can just see it on one of these. Whatever's easiest. And then, these are the rest of my fellow psychology advisors. We're all a little bit crazy in one way or another. But, you know, we're there to help. So if you need something, let us know. So, after that, ah, questions. How's it during the day, evening? Thank you. Yes, very good question. The classes, short answer, classes are prime time. So classes are between eight, usually, and three, most of the time. We have a few professors who we'll teach later on. They'll teach a Monday, Wednesday class at 4.15, or a Tuesday, Thursday class at 3 o'clock. But on the whole, most psychology classes happen between that eight and three Monday through Friday. We don't have classes after 12 o'clock on Fridays. So really, at that point, if you're in a Monday, Wednesday, Friday class, it's in the morning. And you'll be done by 12.20. Unfortunately, the site department really isn't set up for evening classes. Although psychology, more than any other program on campus at the moment, is using hybrid courses. So if it's at Monday, Wednesday, 4.15, time slot that we were just talking about, it meets in person on Mondays. But then on Wednesdays, it's online. Or another one of our faculty does a Tuesday, Thursday, where they meet in person on Tuesdays, and then Thursdays, she does everything online. Conveniently, that's also when she gives her tests. So you just have to be online during that same time period, and everything's great. So it is a degree. We do have a bunch of classes offered in any given quarter. So it is a degree that you can complete within that six-quarter time frame. Or if you wanted to try and do it more quickly, site tends to offer a decent amount of classes during the summer too. Just that summer is condensed, and summer's a little bit crazy. Just because our summer classes meet three days a week for three and a half hours each day. So it's a lot. But otherwise, yeah, site. Honestly, site is one of the programs in which you can get through pretty smoothly. Most of our psychology transfer students who come in with 90 credits complete the upper division requirements that we were talking about, which is 50 credits, and maybe complete a minor, 25 to 30 credits, and then have, say, two to three, two to four electives left over. If you decided not to do a minor, then the courses that would have been for that minor then become electives. So 50 credits of required, 40 credits of electives gives you the opportunity to really tailor what you're doing because that's eight classes. You could create your own minor if you wanted to, just by taking classes in that particular subject. Or you could gear up for graduate school and take a bunch of classes to make sure that you are well-prepared for that. So we have lots of options. I think that's kind of the coolest part. Education, gender and sexuality studies, and sociology's coming up. Sociology's brand new as of this quarter. So that one is one that I expect to see the numbers climb. We already have 17 students in that minor right now. Then it's, like I said, first quarter. So that's actually pretty good for us. There's a few other random minors some students might be in American Indian Studies minor. Some students may have an applied computing minor. But for the most part, education, like hands down. It's pretty amazing that way. Yeah. Yeah. I hear clinical psychology a lot. That's probably the one in the most recent graduating class that we've heard most about is that they wanna go into some type of personal counseling practice. And so they're looking at those master's degrees or the doctoral degrees to try and get from point A to point B and make that happen. Right. Internships are challenging because we don't have a placement program for internships. And so an internship that you might complete, you do the legwork for, which is the part that makes it challenging because you have to go approach somebody and then say, hey, can I be your intern? And sometimes it's a little awkward and it can be daunting. But we have procedures basically that we would follow to help you find a faculty person because you also, when you do an internship, you're not just at the site working with them. You're also coordinating with a faculty person on campus. So we would help you then say, oh, have you had classes with so and so? And can you get them to supervise what you're doing and help you put together the contract because you do a contract with learning objectives and what you're gonna produce at the end to show what you've learned and things like that. But yeah, internships, honestly, are great. And a lot of the students that are looking at going into grad school want research as well. But honestly, some type of that hands-on kind of experience showing that you have the skill in that area, whether that's research or an internship. I mean, at that point, I think they're probably pretty equal as long as you have that experience. Thank you, that was a really good question. Thank you, Ryan. Somebody said two years of it. Should we be taking world language every quarter for our entire AA program? No, it's where the weird part comes in. So world language says two years in high school or two quarters in college. So it's considered that one quarter in college is equivalent to one year in high school. So think of it that way, it makes it a little bit easier. So if you did two years of German in high school and you passed all semesters, you're good to go. But if you didn't, if you only completed one year of German and then you said I'm done with German and I don't wanna go back to that, then when you get here, you wanted to take Spanish and you took two quarters of Spanish, that would be just fine. And that would be a no. Persistent in another language already because they immigrated here or they're an international student. How does that work if you don't? Well, if they're an international student, they get credit for, if they have completed through seventh grade instruction in that other language. So like you said, you were from Japan. So sorry to use you as an example, but if you completed through seventh grade instruction in Japanese when you lived in Japan, then the world language would be waived. Instead, you'd have to demonstrate English proficiency. So yeah, it's a little convoluted sometimes, but then if there's a student who, we have some students who speak Russian, for example. We don't have Russian on campus, but Seattle does world language testing for all the languages we don't. So we've had students who've gone up to Seattle and taken Russian language testing up there because they speak it at home and they know how to read and write it and they pass it. And then Seattle just says, yep, you're good to go and sends that back to us and we use that. So world language seems in some ways like it's a really, really tough thing to get through, but it's not as bad as it seems. And we're really pretty creative when it comes to ways to fulfill that. Probably more like forensic, yes. And at that point, we would probably, because one of the faculty that we have that was closest to that left at the end of last year, we would probably put you in touch with one of our leading clinical faculty because that would kind of be the closest and then we would work with you, like one of the advisors would work with you to then say, okay, what kind of program are you looking for? What, where could you find that program? And then how do we tailor what you're doing towards that? So I actually just worked with a student this morning who's interested in forensic psychology. And so she looked at a couple of programs, one of the ones at John Jay being one and Fairleigh Dickinson University or college in New Jersey also has one. So we were just looking at that this morning and what they require is a bachelor's in psychology, abnormal psychology and statistics. Yeah, pretty easy, really. So it's not grad school and making that transition from undergrad to grad is really not nearly as crazy as you think it is. Yeah, it requires a lot, because then you're talking not to be totally overwhelming, but GREs, letters of recommendation, another application, a personal statement, sending your transcripts, just like you're applying to go to UWT basically. And it has a deadline. That's the part that really throws a lot of students off is that deadline. So if we can plan for that, we're good. Makes it really easy. So did you have a question? It's here. And then I decided, oh, I don't like French. So then I did a quarter of like, let's say Spanish here. Does that count? Same language. Of the same language? Yep, okay. So you could either take the quarter of French or quarter of Spanish. Okay. Yeah, they want that same language thing. I've tried to get them to take one year of German and one year of French and no.  It doesn't? No, it literally just has to be two years or two quarters of the same language. And how you do it is up to you. So if you took French one here, let's say a year ago, and you didn't get to French two until winter quarter of 2018, totally fine. And the bonus is, honestly, we're not looking for any particular grade in this either. So world language doesn't have to be the same kind of scary, like, oh no, it's math. Or oh no, it's physics. It doesn't have to be anything that bad. Just pass it. Go ahead. I can see your world's hurting. I have a question that hurts. I took an intro class to foreign language and that was like an amalgam of different languages. So that would not count? Because it's not studying just one language. Not that you didn't get some benefit out of it for this purpose, no. They're kind of picky in that respect. Now if you were looking at Seattle, you did Seattle requires three quarters. So that is the biggest, one of the bigger differences between us and them is that we don't have quite that same need for the additional language. So if you have it, right? If you don't have it, then it's a common maybe a little bit better than Seattle than that respect, if you're not a language person. What else?  Yeah. So the internship, do they like, if you get an internship and they're like for a whole year, or like summer, or? Depends, depends on the internship. So some of them could be, depending on how long you're putting in, some of them could be a year-long thing that you work 10 hours a week, you know, autumn through spring. Some of it maybe that you do 15 or 20 hours a week in autumn quarter only. Just depends on what you find. Can you just clarify how the number of hours you're working and what you have to do inside as a credits? Yes, actually, let me pull up our website for that because it's way better to have the detail. Okay, so internships, this FAQ here is probably the best thing that we have, but talking about credit and hours worked, if you want a five credit internship, you've got to work 15 hours a week to do it. The expectation, if you have a five credit internship, is that you will then have 10 more credits on campus. So figure that you're probably in class about six hours a week, let's say, for those 10 credits, then you've got to add that in, add in your travel time, all that kind of stuff. That would be some of the stuff that we would take into consideration when it comes to whether or not you do an internship in one quarter versus another quarter, or whether maybe you cut it down to a three credit internship, which is a lot closer to just 10 hours a week and might be more doable, especially if you've got commuting and you've got a job or two, and family responsibilities and everything else. So when we look at doing these, we really try and make them fit as best we can. You can see this list over here on the right-hand side. We do have a list of some of the internships that have been sent to us. I haven't seen this list updated in about six months, unfortunately. So anything that you would find here, we would look at and make sure was still available before you applied for it. The person who posts it, our internship coordinator, does try and list what major she thinks would be the most appropriate for that internship. That doesn't mean that something that says, like this one here, South Sound Magazine Designer Editorial, doesn't mean that a psych major couldn't take that internship. It just means that she, according to her rubric, that fits more with writing, communication, or arts, media, and culture. So this site is actually linked off of our School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences page on this undergraduates menu here. So one of the other pages I linked to earlier was this advising page where you can see all of our friendly faces. We put announcements over here and all about us. And here's the who does what. So if you're looking to contact someone and you're thinking of something that's not psychology, you're more than welcome to contact me and I can get you to the correct person or you can reach out to them directly, whatever's easiest for you. What we also have here is a little bit more information. We just looked at the internships page but there's also this independent study page where we had talked about doing research, for example. But this also includes then directed readings and any type of thesis that you might wanna do. Psychology not require any sort of thesis or capstone or anything like that. Some of our other majors do. So like if you're a history major or a politics major, you'd be writing a 25-page paper to finish up your degree but psychology does not do that. So you might be happy about that. This goes into the types of independent studies and then this is honestly the best part of it. So how do I register for this? So this is really kind of what we were starting to get into where you have to find a faculty person. Honestly, I would rearrange some of this to say first contact the faculty person because you wanna see if they're available more than anything else. You don't wanna go through all the steps and then find that the faculty person that you think would be awesome to help you with this can't help you. So really, talk to that faculty first but you're gonna wanna talk to somebody you have a relationship with. So any kind of this independent study, we usually say, wait a couple quarters, get in, get used to being on campus because it's gonna be different than being here and then build some of those relationships so that you can go up to Dr. Perron and say, hey, Dr. P, can you help me with this?  Makes it so much easier to make this happen. So you have your faculty member, you have to do paperwork, you have to basically put it all together as though it was a regular class. So were you walking to class and your instructor hands you a syllabus and says, hey, here's what we're doing for the quarter? This is you creating the syllabus. So it's definitely possible to do, it just requires prep. That's where that legwork thing comes from, is not only do you have to then pull together where you're doing the internship, but you are really truly defining that internship as well. And then down here at the bottom, we have all the paperwork that's required for these. So if we were looking at internships, this is the kind of paperwork that you would end up doing. Your info goes here, the info where you're doing the internship goes here, but then here's these fun learning objectives. So the part in your syllabus, those first couple pages where it talks about what you're gonna do and how it meets the goals and objectives of the psychology department, that's what this is. And that's what you and the faculty person and the person who supervises the internship all come up with this all together. And then you create an academic assignment. So that may just be a paper, maybe something simple like that, but it may be that they want you to do a presentation on what you've done. Maybe they want you to create something that's happened to. So you define the scope of what all that means, and then at the same time that you're coming up with all of that, oh, I went too far, timeline, some of our other forms also require that you not only come up with the timeline to say, okay, by week two you'll have this, by week four you'll have this, by week six you'll do, and then week 10 is whatever. It also requires a grading scale. And that's something that you then come up with with the faculty person as well to say, okay, if you have to be really simple 90 out of 100 points then that's gonna get you a 3.6. That kind of an idea. All of this is built in even as complex as it may seem at first glance is built in to make it all work for you. And the cool part about psychology is that then if you do an internship, if you do an internship, then it can count for credit in psychology, which is kind of awesome. So coming down all the way down to here, under this additional advanced credits, this was the one that I said was the last psychology class it's that last 300 or 400 level psych class that you would be responsible for taking. Internship directed readings or undergraduate research can all count in this section. It can't count in any of these other sections here, but it will count here. So like your question about doing an internship all year, if you get 15 credits of internship, five credits will count here and the other 10 count towards your electives. So they don't go to waste. They still count towards that 180 credit that you need for graduation. And you get an internship out of it. It's kind of awesome. Will this do much? Quite possibly. We had one of the ones that I highlighted was someone who worked in HR and worked with them on developing processes to identify applicants and things like that. Yeah, totally could be relevant. Cause that is something that is so close. Human resources does use bits and pieces of psychology all over the place. So yeah, if it didn't count here, it would still count as an elective. And that's where it gets a little confusing is because an elective we use in so many different places and then so many potential different ways. Like they call these elective lists, but that's not the same as an elective that you take to increase your credits to the 180. So it's a little weird sometimes. But you can see, for example, if we go to this, can't even get them all on the screen at the same time, which is awesome. Some of these are newer courses. For example, down here at the bottom, sports psychology is one of our brand new courses. It was taught for the first time this last summer. 455 right above it, the immigrant youth development is another one that is actually new within the last year or so. And then you get the fun things, whereas at existential, 410 is being offered in winter quarter for the first time in like two years. So I have some students that are really, really excited about that and some that look at it and go, oh, I can't do that. So there's something here that you can find that would be fun and awesome, small, which is awesome. We have, generally, most of the site classes are limited to 40 students. And so there might be a few more here and there. We have this quarter, our mental illness across cultures class is actually up to like 53, but that's huge. That's way bigger than we're used to. So, and that's because it's half online, and so the instructor just might go over a little bit. So it works out. Would you like to see what classes we're offering in winter? Just as kind of an idea of what we have. Okay, so as you would expect, we're offering site 101. We're offering two sections of research methods. So this section is the same and this section is the same. The difference between them is that one's restricted to freshmen and sophomores during our first registration period and the other's for juniors and seniors. But that's the only difference between them. We've got abnormal two sections and then another section of lifespan, infant child, which actually has not been offered frequently in the last couple of years. So we're expecting that that one, they'll probably have requests to go over 40 at that point. Social psychology. So our 200 level courses here that we're looking at, the cognition, the bio-psychology, behavior motivation, lifespan and abnormal are all our foundation's courses. So somebody who wants to declare psychology, who's only coming in with site 101 could easily take two of these in the same quarter. And if they're eligible to get into T-Site 209, or research methods one, could take all three site classes in one quarter and declare the major at the end of the quarter. So we have variety to be able to do that. Beyond the 200 level classes, we've got our research methods two, which is two different sections.  So we've got tons and tons of options here. There are certain classes, for example, sexual violence because of the faculty member will fill up pretty quick. It's a tough topic. And there are every quarter somebody who drops because it is a very tough topic. But the instructor is fabulous. And that's why most people flock to the class despite the subject matter is because Dr. West is awesome. Immigrant development is another one that is offered late. So Monday, Wednesday, 4.15 to 6.20. Previously, she's bred that one as a hybrid. So she's had that Monday in class Wednesday online, which is kind of nice because you might not want to be on campus till 6.20. We do have issues with transfer courses, unfortunately, because courses that you take here, like we were looking at the prerequisites, the lifespan and the abnormal and on from there, our equivalency guide is all based on Seattle course numberings, not Tacoma course numberings. So that what happens is when your courses come in, that's why this note is here. So if it shows on your transcript a site 2XX, which is how they resolve the numbering issue because our foundation's courses are 200 and Seattle's are 300. If they come in this way, we have to resolve it with an entry code, which just overrides prerequisite. It's an extra step, but it allows us to get the people into the courses that need to be into the courses. So if you have questions on any of, how any of your courses come in. So let's say you transfer in for spring quarter and you don't, you look at your degree audit and it doesn't have anything that you expect to have on it. Ask, because we can tell you where everything is. It's just maybe that it's not in the way that you expect to see it. But that's not, that shouldn't be an insurmountable problem. It just requires a little finesse. Of course. Can you give us some questions? Yeah, absolutely. So that's an excellent presentation. Would you join me please in thanking Suzanne?


There is one thing I really hate and that's filling in forms and bureaucracy. Especially those forms from the financial authorities where you have a bunch of pages, 250 questions, you have to fill in codes, Q-Sips and those all those kinds of things really gets me crazy. However, there is a very good side of that. I have to do it. All other hedge fund managers have to do it too. And 45 days after every quarter, I can see what have they been buying. So, today I'm going to go through Seth Claremont's Baupost Group portfolio. If you don't know who Seth Claremont is, he's the less famous of the greatest investors out there. From 1983 he has had returns between 20 and 30% per year with his Baupost Group. He's a value investor and he's the author of the book Margin of Safety. You can buy it on Amazon for about a thousand bucks. Yes, a thousand. You can also check my video about Seth Claremont's rules for investing success. And as I have the book and I know it's very expensive on Amazon and it's better to invest that money in stocks, I'll probably make a few videos that summarize chapter per chapter of the book. So, please subscribe for more content. So, let's look into Seth Claremont's portfolio. Of course, this is the SEC 14F filing, so only his US portfolio positions are disclosed. Important to note is that this is about 28% of his total funds portfolio. Also, he has approximately 25% of the portfolio in cash. And his average cash position over time, 35 years, has been 33%. 33% in cash. So, he's always heavily loaded with cash and waiting for buying opportunity. Back to the US weight, 28% of the portfolio. So, if you are overweight, US stocks, you might consider Claremont's allocation. Now, what does he own? He owns an LNG company via SAP 21st Century Fox, Communications Entertainment, Colony Nordstar, REIT, Synchrony Financials, a very stable bank, Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Communication Company, Dell Communication Digital Company, Refinery and another Pharmaceutical, but this is a development Pharmaceutical company with no revenues. So, very diversified risk, this is the top 10 makes more than 45% of his portfolio. So, very diversified risk, but what strikes is the exposure to energy, but not energy as oil drilling, but more distribution, LNG distribution and refineries. Very interesting approach to the energy sector. Communications, he is also there, exposed there, REIT with a nice 7.61 yield, talking about Colony Nordstar, and a nice bank with a price earnings ratio of 11, Synchrony Financials. Cheneer Energy is a company that exports natural gas from the US all around the world and sells it also around the US. What's very specific about the company is that the book value is negative, minus 5 bucks per share, so much for the margin of safety, so the margin of safety is not obvious and if you run a screen looking for bargains companies, Cheneer Energy won't pop up because it has a negative book value, huge debt. Earnings per share are also negative, 1.03 dollars, trailing earnings, they have been higher around 2.5 in 2016 and above 4 dollars in 2015, so we have no book value and we have negative earnings. Another thing that will put away most value investors. However, Cheneer's revenue went from 200 million in 2015 to the current 2.5 billion, so it's really an investment company and in the last 5 years on average per year, Cheneer had an investment capital of 4.5 billion dollars per year, so it's really a company that's investing a lot into the future, so perhaps there is where Claremont sees value. Look at the investment thesis, so full service LNG offering around the world, currently using free train platforms, hoping to increase it to 7 train platforms, an estimated LNG demand growth is almost double by 2040. So the company has been really investing heavily in the future, building the LNG infrastructure and it hopes to gain benefits for the next 100 years. It's really a disruptor in the LNG field. So Cheneer has spent more than 20 billion dollars to create the largest LNG export facility in America, so it's really trying to disrupt the global LNG business. Here is where Claremont sees the value. So what's the lesson to learn here, the investment lesson from Seth Claremont? If the value is obvious to everybody, then it will be fairly priced. You have to see the value that the majority of other investors don't see. LNG closely related to oil, so everybody's wary about it. Seth Claremont is overweight, not oil, but natural gas. Very different situation there. We'll see how it works out. He thinks it will be a great deal and he has the patience to wait, add to his position and rebalance accordingly if the stock price goes up and down to manage his portfolio risk. If the stock price goes down, he buys more. When it returns, he sells it, books it in the profit and his risk remains equal. The second company that Claremont owns, 20th Century Fox, he has been steadily buying it in 2015-2016 and the stock price is still close to his cost price. The company has had pretty stable revenue of the last 10 years, but improving margins, forward price earnings ratio is at 11, nice dividend yield of 1.3% and the company has been buying back 3% of shares in the last year. So Fox, very stable, low valuations, cash cow, Claremont obviously thinks that somewhere in the future or somebody will buy it out, or the valuation it deserves will be much higher, or there will be some catalyst around. In the meantime, the company is growing, having a nice return and he can patiently wait for the catalyst to work on. Colony Northstar, a read that I already mentioned, 7.5% dividend yield, nice return on capital for Claremont in this environment. Synchrony Financial, another stable financial company, price earnings ratio of just 11, so also nice return, improved book value. Hipper probably hopes that the market will recognize the mispricing. Another very famous Claremont's investment is Alragon, its pharmaceutical company. He started buying the company at a price around $240, then bought more when the stock fell to $200 and then when the stock returned to $240 he sold a part of his portfolio. What's the value in Alragon, book value around $200 per share, so he thinks it can go much lower than this. So to conclude, Claremont's portfolio doesn't look sexy at all. A boring LNG distributor, a non-growing bank, pharmaceutical, nobody likes pharmaceuticals now, a refinery, an old, un-entertaining movie producing company, Dell computers, something of the past. Let's buy Apple. So you can see how he is really looking there where nobody wants to go and where the market is a little bit negative or turned against. This attached to his patience of buying, waiting buy more when the stock price drops has led him to returns above 20% per year over the last 30 years, making him one of the really greatest investors of all time. So to sum up, patience, go there where others don't dare, look for value that isn't obvious, be ready to buy more when the price drops more and rebalance properly. So you buy more when it drops but when it comes back you resell it. So you create immediately alpha an additional return and you keep your portfolio risk balanced. Just to note Claremont is really one of my favorite investors. He's so low-key but there is so much to learn about him. Thank you for watching. I'll see you in the next video. Please leave your comments below. Let's create a discussion. Are you a value investor? Do you like what Claremont is doing or do you think it's obsolete? Thank you and I'll see you in the next video.

What's up everyone? You know, I used to wonder how do the most fashionable people come up with a good fit every single time? Well, I think I know the answer they follow an outfit template. So what exactly is an outfit template? Well, it's just a foundation that will always be a great place to start think about when you first get the keys to your new place I mean you got the perfect place to start everything is empty clean white walls neutral colored floors So this gives you the opportunity to really make it your place Like if you got a new place that already came with a dark blue wall or green wall over here or red wall over there Yes, you could make it your own place, but it's not the best place to start And so that's what we're striving for here And so the first key takeaway here is you already got a template all black And why is it that that's always a go-to template to follow? Well, of course black keeps everything simple everything matches together because everything's all black and nothing's really trying to take away from each other Plus, it's also a great way to look a little more elevated a little more chic And of course there are plenty of other reasons why all black is a go-to, but I want you to ask yourself Why this is always go to why it works. I feel like fashion nowadays is quite surface level.  I'm gonna buy that piece over here, but you don't really think about why the outfit works So this will help you build your own outfit templates when you take a look at a good fit and ask why that fit works And by the way those Chelsea boots from earlier really nice They come from the sponsor of today's video coach outlet and going back to an earlier point These boots provide shape in your all-black fit. They're slimming has a sharp point of your look It provides a nice textural contrast and fellas coach outlet has been killing it lately and right now up to 70% off I'm not joking now coach outlet products are specifically coach outlets products They aren't leftover products from a previous season and they've got some pretty fly stuff I'm not gonna lie. Just check out the scarf that I got from them with a plaid pattern And again back to an earlier point when paired with an all-black fit the scarf provides texture It provides separation by not being all black and it looks great if I do say so myself And I also got this sexy watch from them again It provides a necessary contrast in color that still looks great in this all-black fit that I'm wearing And let's just say I did wear a black watch in this fit It would still work But I just think this gold with a black watch face has a really nice contrast and pop of color on the fit That a black watch most likely wouldn't have so along with that 70% off You can also check out using Clara by now pay later that way you can enjoy the Flexibility of shopping for yourself or for your loved ones and be able to split your payment into four separate payments Interest-free and the boots the watch or the scarf I think anyone can appreciate as a gift for the holidays, especially those Chelsea boots Of course, I'm all about treating yourself as well. If you guys are interested in any of these products I'll leave them all linked in the description down below And if you guys make a purchase using those links, I do get a small kickback Which does go back to supporting the channel really appreciates y'all and thank you coach outlet for sponsoring this video Now the next takeaway on why alpha templates are so important is that you can follow the same template but have multiple different fits different variants So when you develop your own templates, this is going to save you money whenever you're shopping because you know You got this template you'd like to rock and it's going to save you time for getting ready You're never gonna say you don't know what to wear when you got a whole department store in your wardrobe So one of the templates I like to follow is green pants black top lighter colored kicks and an orange beanie So this first fit consists of tech cargoes a technical crew neck beanie and it's perfect to me Then we can swap everything out and go for it again But with wide-fitting trousers a black hoodie But this time we'll go through with a gray overcoats and it still works now This time it's gonna be the same color scheme But the pants are going to be black and the jacket will be green you see you can move around different pieces Different colored items and it's still going to work as you can see each of these outfits speak differently But they follow the same template and so whenever I don't know what to wear But I feel like trying this is one of my go-to templates now Here's another template I follow trousers a white mandarin colored shirt or any white top in general boots or white sneakers and any colored Jackets this works with a coat for a smart casual look or we can go bold with this blue patchwork jackets It's even gonna work with this jacket right here And we can just keep going and going and going and going and so now whenever I'm shopping I can just focus on outerwear instead of having to think about oh does this go with this does this piece go with That I know I have a go-to template to follow and all I have to do is swap the jacket now to be honest You do not need as much clothes as I do I'm a content creator and so having an outfit foundation like this will actually help you Interchange your clothing therefore getting more wears for your clothes and getting more bang for your buck for your clothes So yeah, just keep this in mind think about what outfit templates you like to gravitate towards everyone has one It's going to save you money And this will also save you time from whenever you get ready whenever you whip out a good template And so now I'm sure you're wondering how do I even come up with a template like I said earlier? Do some more critical thinking than just surface-level social media consumption and think about why an outfit works Is it the proportions? Is it the colors? Is it because of the footwear or how the model is built? We live in such an attention-grabbing age that we just might miss this question Like I want you to think about why this is a solid fit take some time with it and now let's extrapolate it I pay attention a lot to footwear and to me if it's any form of slim high top boots blazers or converses I think they always look awesome with a pair of cuffed or cropped pants So I take note of that and keep that in mind whenever I'm putting on a pair of wide-fit cargo or something like that It almost becomes routine and I gravitate towards the high top sneakers and boots Sure, they'll look good sometimes when the pants lay over the sneakers But almost always in my opinion converses look best with cropped pants Now you might almost always see me in some sort of gray scale type of fit And that's just me whipping out an outfit template because I find I get bored quite easily whenever it comes to all black outfits And gray is just refreshing to the wardrobe in my opinion and that may not be your opinion And that's great because that may be a template for you never wear a gray scale And so that's the next takeaway right here. Just have your own opinion We all got our own preferences and it's what makes fashion interesting My templates are just my templates and I think it's a good guide to start But over time you're going to develop your own template Like just imagine if we all like the same outfits like the same color combinations Like the same proportions fashion would get boring real quick The more solid fits that you encounter in personal social media The more chances you get to extrapolate why that fit works And then you can add that to your templates list Maybe it's the beanie like me I swear I'm probably going to be buried in that gray beanie Mood boards exist for a reason A bunch of ideas or similar concepts are gathered together And you can take inspiration from it and come up with something for your own So please share your outfit templates in the comments down below So that everyone can try it out and see if they like it or not If you enjoyed this make sure you give this video a thumbs up Subscribe to the channel follow me on the other social media channels And until then stay fly Deuces


If you pay close enough attention to cancel culture and the hate mobs, you'll see that they don't actually know what they want. They claim that they want accountability and they want justice, but that's clearly not the case. I'm Alex, recently made a public as well as a private apology, which is what the hate mob demanded of him, but that wasn't good enough. The reality is that the hate mob doesn't actually want justice or accountability. They want blood. They don't want you to improve. They want you to suffer. What's really interesting is that there are even members of the mob who have been attacked multiple times before and although they feel they deserve forgiveness, they lack the ability to give it to others.  What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, what I like to do is take different topics going on in the YouTube community and try to see what lessons we can pull from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And yes, we are going to be talking about the I'm Alex situation, his apology and cancel culture. And those of you who don't know my brand new book canceled inside YouTube cancel culture is out now. It is free. So go check out the description, check out the pin comment down below. Go download yourself a copy like cancel culture is absolutely brutal. And that's what we're going to be talking about in this video. But anyways, I have been recording the audio book. Okay, I've been busting my butt to record the audio book. I'm hoping it'll be out this week. The audio book will be $10, but for anybody who does the $5 suggested donation of the e-book, you'll get the audio book for free. So it's like half off, pretty cool, right? And to be honest, I'd be really appreciative if you downloaded the $5 version because YouTube has been demonetizing my videos like a mother. But anyways, let's jump into this video. For weeks, the hate mob has been demanding an apology from my Alex. They've said that this was all they wanted and then all would be right in the universe. Once Alex released this apology, they removed the gun from his head and let him live his life in peace. The other day, on July 28th, Alex came out with his apology and here's what it said. Recently I spoke to Slazo and discussed as well as apologized for my support of Shay's original post and the way I handled the accusations that had been put forward. I came to the conclusion I had through multiple friends of mine reinforcing stories as well as multiple other people coming forward privately with their own personal situations involving Slazo, which under the pretext I fully believed at the time. I should have waited for both sides of the story and regret supporting the post without having all the information and hearing Slazo's side. I have spoken to him since and apologized for jumping the gun no matter how damning I believed the evidence was. It was a mistake to support the post as no matter how much I believed that the allegations were true, it does not excuse the fact that it should have been given to the correct authorities to deal with properly and privately. I regret giving my personal opinion on the situation as it was not necessary. I did so because I felt responsible as a friend of those involved, but also as a friend of Slazo to not support the behavior he had been accused of as I fully believed that it was completely true at the time. Regarding me doubling down, I very much believed a lot of the stories I had been given from multiple other people, which is why I wasn't quick to dismiss the alleged victims that had approached me, although that doesn't excuse my rash responses and poor handling of a very delicate situation. I understand that people are upset with my lack of a response, but I have personally taken my time to respond due to recent events and constantly developing situations that have been happening privately. I remove my post regarding the situation as I can no longer stand behind them, nor do I believe in them any more based off new information that I have been given. Any person with an ounce of logic or rationality in their body will look at that apology and want to move on. A rational person will see that not only did Alex apologize to the community, but he also apologized to the guy the hate mob claims to be defending. You figure that if the guy the hate mob was defending forgave Alex, the mob should forgive Alex too. After this apology came out, one would think that balance has been restored and we can all hold hands and rejoice. But if that's what you thought, you clearly don't understand how cancel culture works. Cancel culture holds you hostage and makes demands like a terrorist saying that all they want is a plane and one million dollars. Once you meet their demands, they'll let everybody live. But when you deliver the ransom, they proceed to massacre the hostages anyways. What you're seeing happen to Alex is the epitome of cancel culture and it's what I discussed extensively in my new book. You can't win and the mob won't be pleased until you're off the platform for good. You may try to appease the mob, but they'll still come at you in full force. When you're attacked by cancel culture, you're walking through a minefield where every step will get you blown up. They demand an apology, but once you apologize, they pick it apart and say that it's fake. They either lack self-awareness or refuse to admit that no apology will ever be good enough for them. They can't admit to themselves or others that it's completely irrational that just because you don't like an apology doesn't mean that it wasn't sincere. Have you ever had someone in your life who has that insane ability to complain about literally everything? You can be out with them during a beautiful day at the park, but they'll say that the sun's too bright or the sound of children laughing and playing is annoying. These are the type of people that you know will never be satisfied with life and are perpetually miserable. And that's what cancel culture is like. They want to complain and need to complain. It seems as though if they attempted to practice empathy, forgiveness and kindness, they may spontaneously combust. During the I'm Alex hatred, you have a lot of kids in the commentary community trying to make a name for themselves by attempting to ruin Alex's career. These are kids who don't have much life experience, maybe loners in the real world, and now they use YouTube as an outlet to complain about the world. Because of their age and lack of life experience, you can't really get too upset with them. They've had a taste of some attention and popularity, and their young minds are getting flooded with dopamine, so they want more. These kids are going to try to continue to play the morality police on YouTube in an effort to get views, likes and subscribers, but maybe they'll grow up someday. But if you want an example of a grown man who has somehow managed to survive by dodging life lessons like the Matrix, you need to look no further than Keemstar. Based on Keemstar's past as well as recent events, you would think that this man would have developed some empathy and compassion, but that's not the case at all. As someone who has had the hate mob come after him multiple times and still has his past held over his head and begs people to stop, you'd think Keemstar would know better. Most of us who have been attacked by the hate mob wouldn't wish it on our worst enemy, but Keemstar is different. He went through it, and he wants everyone to go through it too. What you need to know about Keemstar is that his problem with Alex isn't about the Slazo situation, it's about an old grudge that Keem can't let go of. Keemstar has attempted to create the narrative that this is about Alex falsely accusing Slazo, but if you listen to the baited podcast, you know that's not true. See what everyone in the YouTube community knows is that this exact same situation happened to Keemstar and years later he still has it thrown in his face. Keemstar falsely accused a man of being a pedophile on his platform which isn't much different than what Alex did to Slazo and some would even say that it's worse. Years later, Keemstar expects forgiveness. He expects people to let it go because he apologized and even donated money to the man. He wants to be absolved of his false accusations against the man, but he refuses to give it to someone else. While many of us develop more empathy when we've been through a situation ourselves, somehow Keemstar has managed to have less. What's even more interesting about Keemstar's lack of self-awareness and empathy is that he was just recently blamed for the death of Etika and the hate mob came after him again. Less than 24 hours after Etika was released from a psychiatric hospital, Keemstar interviewed and proceeded to taunt Etika on drama alert. Keemstar even made a comment to Etika about how Etika might as well jump off a cliff if this is all a simulation. About a month ago, after Etika uploaded a goodbye video to YouTube, we learned the tragic news that Etika ended his life by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. After this happened, Keemstar had the internet coming after him harder than ever before and blaming him for playing a role in Etika's suicide. Another creator by the name of Tumad even made a video about Keemstar's role in Etika's passing that amassed over half a million views. In the video, Tumad encouraged his audience to attack Keemstar on Twitter by spamming him with cricket emojis and Photoshop pictures of Keemstar as a cockroach. During this time, Keemstar begged and pleaded with the internet to stop. Keemstar even went as far to have Etika's mom send him a statement to try to get the hate mob to stop. In multiple Twitter videos, Keemstar was on the verge of tears as he tried to cope with a friend's suicide while the internet was attacking him. You would think that a man who has been the victim of the internet hate mob would have just a little compassion for Alex, but that's clearly not the case. At the end of the day, when you see someone being canceled, I want you to ask yourself what people like Keemstar and the rest of the commentary channels actually want. We've learned that although they make demands, they won't be satisfied with them. So what do they really want? Do they want people like I'm Alex, de-platformed? Do they want him to get publicly stoned for his mistakes? Cancell culture doesn't want anything more than for people to suffer. And that's why it needs to end. Alright everybody, thanks for watching this video. I really want you to start looking at cancel culture and looking at the people involved in perpetuating these narratives and the hypocrisy and the lack of compassion and forgiveness even though they want it for themselves. You know what I mean? Like, something I talk about in the book is I want you to think about what you would want, what you would expect if you made a mistake like this, alright?

Hello friends welcome back to another episode here on the channel I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel my name is Lee also known as Osiris. Today we're going to be discussing and going over a brand new max raid event that's happening right now in Pokemon Sword and Shield. As another month goes by we do get another one of these special weekend events and it is beginning right now on the 30th of April and we'll be running over this coming weekend. So without further ado let's jump over to our trusty source of therapy and let's check out the details. Lots going on in therapy today with the new release of Pokemon Snap. Very excited I've just got home from work hence the reason for this video actually going up a bit later today but you know better late than never but my copy have Pokemon Snap has arrived if you can if you can see it. I don't know if the green screen's making me again you'll disappear I think it is anyway it has arrived very excited for it so we'll have content on that very soon on the channel. Anyway getting into today's video the event itself the wild area has now shifted to in Pokemon Sword and Shield for an extra event with this for the next few days Meowth will be available with shiny glaring Meowth being available they are currently compiling all of the event data so you can check back later but you know what Joe has been on it and only event data has been compiled and we can take a look so like I said the event itself is running from the 30th today of April as of watching this when this goes up on the channel and it will run until Sunday the 2nd of May so we've got a few days for the event actually taking place the event dates aren't actually on this but I'm pretty sure it will run from the 30th till the 2nd of May so we normally have that time span Friday Saturday Sunday evening is when it shuts off and then reverts back to it will revert back to the previous dens but we'll actually do a dent update for May so that will be coming probably Monday keep an eye out for that so let's go through the motions it's all going to be about Meowth Meowth Festival you've got the glaring Meowth Alolan Meowth and you've got Kanto Meowth so you've got all the Meowth variants these are all your one star raids and it does look like you're going to get big nuggets so that's pretty decent and then the two star raids you're going to get more big nuggets not other items that are really jumping out to me but you've got a 17% chance pretty much across the board to get any of these in the one and two star raids the Pokemon will be exactly the same in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield we'll check that out just before we go into the next bit same again for three star four star and then we get down to the juice and here we go this is what it's all about we're looking for these five star raids as we normally do in these event dens where we've got a couple of really unique Pokemon starting off with the G Max Meowth now this was a special kind of event Giganta Max Pokemon at the release of Sword and Shield and I don't know if we've been actually able to get access to this since then obviously we've got Max Mushrooms now with the Isle of Arma so you can just take a regular Meowth and then just give it the Max Mushroom and that will kind of overcome it but we do have access to a den with this Pokemon in it which is pretty cool in itself obviously not a shiny chance for the Giganta Max Meowth from this event but a very cool option for us to catch anyway so you've got an 8% chance of that spawning you've got 17% chance for the Kanto Meowth you've got a 33% chance of the Alolan Meowth 23% chance of the Galarian Meowth and then you've got a 2% chance of a shiny Galarian Meowth so this will be a square shiny Galarian Meowth very cool because it's a very cool shiny and obviously shiny berserker that gold color as well is one of my favorite shinies in Pokemon Sword and Shield items that we're going to get like I say there's nothing like spectacular coming out of this one again kind of like your standard items really and we'll move down to Pokemon Sword on Pokemon Sword we'll move down to Pokemon Shield and the event is exactly the same across the board so it doesn't matter which game you have or which game you're participating in this with okay well these are the details like I say running from the 30th of April until the 2nd of May let's hop back into game and show you how to get this Pokemon okay once back in game what you want to do is you want to get yourself an den with the event of promoted raid actually running in it so as you can see here this is the one that I previously had which should be nice I know it's the previous den so it has reverted back I've been online since so this is the last event den now to get these dens what you want to do is just visit any any random den in the wild area and drop a wishing piece into it and then check if it is going to be obviously this event is very easy to kind of spot because it will be the Meowth that will appear or Glaring Meowth and it shouldn't normally be in that den if it's not just go to another den drop another wishing piece it'll reset the previous den and kind of go in between them the dens that I use and grappled grove are the two closest together probably the easiest to do this event and spawn an event den but once you have your event den what you can do is just not come to the home screen you want to hit your menu screen want to go to mystery gift and then you want to go get the wild area and use and I know we do this every time but there's always that one or two new people that are coming in that don't know about this and it's always useful to do just for a reminder and I'm sure that the rest of you don't mind so to connect it to the internet it will just update all the dens in the wild area in the Isle of Armour and in the Crown Tundra so you get this message and then once you come back out into the game go back into the den and you can see you can see that it's updated so we've got in a lowland Meowth which is great and all because I was initially thinking we've got a five-star Meowth was what we want but we want the Galarian Meowth so what you want to do at this point if you want to skip through the dens to change it and try and get that five-star Galarian Meowth for the shiny chance what you want to do is just hit this invite others make sure you're offline when you do this and hit your home menu come down to system settings then down into system date and time make sure that your synchronized clock by the internet is off come down to date skip your date forward one date hit okay then come back to the home menu go back into the game quit out of the den and this will reset a day in the den it'll change the weather you can see it was a sandstorm and now it's snowing once you go back into the den you'll get 2000 watts you'll know that you've done it correctly and the pokemon should have changed which it has from a five star to a four star and you just want to repeat this over and over again until you come across that Galarian Meowth the five star one and then what you can do is save in front of it and check to see if it's shiny but we'll show you that process I'm just going to go through and skip until the point of actually getting it because it's always good to try and see if we are looking enough to get the shiny in these so you can see and look at the typing as well of the pokemon because a lot of the sprites are going to be the same you can see this one is the Galarian one but it's a four star just keep an eye on that it will make this a lot easier obviously the Kantonian Meowth is a normal type the Alolan is a dark type and the Galarian is a steel type making it a little bit easier to kind of distinguish between the sprites that you're getting there because sometimes it can be a little bit tricky but we'll keep going and we'll be right back when we get that five star okay we finally got the steel type here which is the Galarian Meowth and it is a five star at this point what you want to do once you've reached the five star Galarian Meowth raid you want to just save your game in front of it because if it's not shiny you can then reset and then come back in and start the day skipping all over again until you hit your next five star Galarian Meowth and then you can check it again so what you want to do is just come in to check it don't invite others just jump straight in and I'm praying one of these times we are going to get it on our first attempt there is a lot of you down the comment section that have said a lot of the time you do get it straight away and is it it is it is it is I think it is we've got the thumbnail here for the video we've got the Galarian Meowth how oh this is perfect I can't believe it okay a bit of the top reaction here but we do get the shiny Galarian Meowth on our first try it was gonna happen one of these times and I'm so pleased it's happened today very fitting so this wraps up the video what I'm gonna do over this weekend is host this over on our discord for anyone that does want it it won't be this evening it will probably be tomorrow evening I'll post up on discord when it's gonna be if you want to join the discord come over and try your chances of getting it on saturday sunday evening and then hop over join the discord it's a great community anyway and I'll uh I'll update you all I'm gonna reset this now so I can kind of come in keep this and then help whoever is having a hard time getting it get this Meowth over the weekend so um I'm gonna wrap it up there friends that's the event for the weekend it's a very special one a very nice way to end the video finally and um I hope you have a great weekend if you've got pokemon snap I hope you're enjoying it I'm looking forward to getting into it and having uh doing some content on it and reliving all those old memories that I had from the original game have a great weekend whatever you're up to we'll be back with more episodes early next week and whatever you do take care of yourselves and I'll see you for the next one so until then
