All right, good morning everybody welcome back on this lovely Thursday morning. Hopefully everybody's all excited big day today We got the cyber expo going on. You got the debates going on today.  I'm moving today Hopefully everybody's all excited. I know I am I love Thursdays Thursdays one of my favorite days of the week You know it's funny, but I've been graphing myself over the course of the years and we journal ourselves And the journals that we give you here at Cybertrain University I'm telling you if you use those monthly journals and if you really play around with them and try to like you know Let me make a journal on certain days of the year and you analyze I'm telling you see that the Thursdays are probably the best days the best days, you know to trade on so Everything's good. So good to see you Jerry made some money made 20 cents on on ALGM we're gonna check that one out. ADIL has been great so far this morning. Look at this gorgeous stock Buck 70 to 230 that is beautiful. You'll remember that we trade this stock not too long ago when it ran from a dollar It's about four bucks. So we keep this on a watch this we're gonna talk about that We talk about the cyber expo that's going on starting today at 12 o'clock and we're also gonna talk about some stocks Let's let's go hop on really quick and go over and talk about What we traded yesterday. By the way, I told you on Monday.  Let's talk about yesterday and what happened first of all snapchat You know was amazing snap. Let's bring it up. So snap Charts you see what happened yesterday 15 minutes so snap just literally just took off it gapped up nicely had a really nice move yesterday We've been 35 to 39 and started backing off stock is up really big. You can see here in the long-term chart Stock has been having a really really nice.  I said that there's a lot of stocks out there that have not, you know A lot of these high-tech tech stocks have not made move yet, you know, listen, you so what have a coronavirus You know and regardless, unfortunately, I tell this to everybody as a trader Unfortunately catastrophes do make opportunities So you have to kind of look at it if it was 9-eleven if it was Hurricane Sandy or if it was you know The financial crisis the internet bubble us as traders Unfortunately, we benefit from this you look at these like damn. I wish I bought, you know zoom when it was at a hundred and was $65 or damn. I wish I bought tesla or bought facebook or shoot even amazon But you can't afford those stocks anymore, right? But there are some other stocks out there Other stock that i've been doing really well with I told you this for a while those pins Pins also did great yesterday, you know, it had a big run up and ran to like 52 But then it backed off You know about two bucks and the thing I want to kind of explain to you is I do not like stocks that go up too fast You do not want that to happen Let's go look at jks. Okay. Look at that chart I told you about jks when the stock was at 50. Okay And now look at it ran all the way to 90 that thing looks almost Identical to nikola remember we traded nikola nkl a look at that stock exactly the same 20 to almost 100 All right, but I would be really careful because jks Look at that thing it tanked about 20 cents a 20 bucks yesterday even actually even more than that went from 90 dropped all the way down Yeah, look, it's it's yeah, that's 20 bucks in one day like that. I got out of it I was like, you know what? I took my money as once I started breaking lower lows. I was done. Listen.  I mean, yeah, you know what if you got at 90 you got lucky Okay, you got lucky at the end of the day But uh, but that one did well and also, you know, riot it has also become a very good swing trade Okay, it's been a great day trade been good swing trade bitcoin is doing great You try to see how you what stocks you could trade going into this afternoon And you know or I mean trade as a swing trade right at obviously had a really nice Little push-up major resistance lows at 450 you could see that right there If you're in the cyber group room, I posted it up there I said guys be careful of that resistance levels at 450 and it did exactly what I said because There was a huge iceberg order out there on that stock another one that that did really well Uh, what else that we have I think it was pretty much it a marrow was good That was another good swing trade. I told you about this one too. We traded this stock We did really well with it It was on the watch list yesterday and you could see it trickled into a swing trade a day trade now to a swing trade Stock went as high as 330 that one also did pretty well And um, I think that's about it. What else would some stocks got crushed yesterday? GSX man this thing got hammered hammered, you know what I mean? Like unbelievably hammered and it still looks lower the stock's been great I'm gonna still keep the stock on a watch list. Listen. I was talking to some of the We have a bunch of new students that are joining the cyber trade university yesterday And I want to share one of their one of the things that they brought up to me They brought up This is fast though, you know, because a lot of you guys are gonna, you know, hear our trial members You're in the room. You're new here to cyber trade university and You know, you thought you knew what you're doing until you actually came to a real professional trading room And it says sometimes these things move too fast. So I just want to clarify something Some stocks move fast some stocks move really slow So, you know, there's different, um, there's different classes of people in here different on their experience Try to be very diverse on some slow stocks and fast stocks Now if you're a an advanced cyber trader here, you could still trade a slow stock You just trade a lot more shares.  That's what I always tell you don't ever count my money I don't brag about my money. I don't I think that's egotistical of somebody to do that And and honestly, it doesn't make you money You got to see if we could teach you how to make money and that's the key So that's the goal is and if you see people making money, you know, and then listen then Why can't you, you know, but it all starts, uh, getting out there But I wanted to bring that up because I have one student was asking me I'm in there. It looks great, but it looks like it's a little too fast. It's really not But this stock was fast.  Yes, but when you deal with stocks like riot that really wasn't that fast You know, I mean sometimes to me it's it's a little bit too slow Um snap was pretty fast snapchat was pretty fast. All right. A couple of stocks I want to just make a couple of stocks came out with earnings last night We got uh lbs. Las Vegas sands had good earnings that stock actually, uh gapped up pretty nicely Let me just change his charts and see a little bit better You can see it right there at the hour. So that stock it did pretty well Tesla blew blew him out of the water But it didn't go up that much actually. I mean it's been doing pretty good, but I'll tell you That long-term chart is freaking me out. And if you guys know that cyber traders See a little bit of a thousetal flag going on over there. All right, so keep an eye on that one What else we had that earnings this morning? So we saw t had earnings that went that stock was doing very very well Which I think I never traded and I can't remember last time I traded t American Airlines came out earnings didn't really do that much Uh fcx came out with earnings That one not really doing that much What else came up? Also siri not really doing that much, but the big one is after the close you got intel come out Intel's coming out earnings after the close. So we definitely want to see what happens there. All right, so let's go through this morning What do you say? All right, let's go through the watch list. What do we got going on this morning? All right, so we got a couple of stocks. I want to keep an avil. We already know about that one Starting to build a little bit of thousetal flag is testing that resistance levels right there I don't know. I feel a little breakout I feel a little bit of breakout that there's a big um There's not a huge iceberg order. There's only about a 9 000 share seller sitting around 230 right now I see over here. You got a couple orders, but there's definitely going to be an all those stock 2.7 million That's not We've seen worse right we saw what happened hurts right billion shares traded one day. That's unheard of That's algorithm. That's best. But yeah, there you go. ADIL looks like it just broke out I told you I like that one a lot What else we had that I liked a lot. You have the bgi also That stock's up 53 12 million shares traded looks like an algo stock though But uh that stock we traded in the past go back to your journal cyber traders See how you trade it and hopefully you took very good notes the way we train you to so you know how to trade this time I always tell you this you're gonna trade the stock again Okay, and especially these big high flyers, you know, I don't need to go back You know, you're gonna probably see pl s uh pl tr.  I mean look at the stocks. Yeah, I could just go down the list Uh peck, you know these stocks you see these day trading stocks we traded, you know three to 14 um What else did I say the pl? Did I say the pl tr? Did I show you that one?  So always keep an eye on it All right Remember this one psi mean unbelievable Stock went from five to 45. You're gonna trade them again. Just make sure you play you wrote very good notes Uh you won remember you won. How could we forget you won you won's moving this morning? Remember you won stock went from a dollar to 50. Okay We traded the stock back in june. She's moving again. And by the way, she's got warrants. Okay, uh Was it uh you Won w. Yeah, there's a there's a warrant on that one If you're getting the last one, yeah, there's the warrant. Okay. So there's a couple of warrants on this stock too But um, but that one we're gonna keep an eye on repl Another stock that's moving up pretty nicely this morning You can see it's a nice trend a little bit of a brand name a little bit more of a category three So it'd be really cautious about that one. So I got you won repl mara. I told you about mara, right? Mara looks like it's been doing pretty decent, but it's more of a swing trade. Um k b sf Uh now this one, you know what she's gapped up about 13 1.5 million shares I might get second thoughts. I might put this on the second category now Remember that on the second list the wedding list don't you have a wedding list?  I want to bite this person, but I can't you know I'm running out of seats and I you know, they're like I want to but not really but unless this guy cancels on the a list I want to put them on the b list and everybody know what I'm talking to the alternates, right? So these are all alternates, right? So uh, if the other ones don't pan out We put this on this on the second list Remember that was pretty funny, right? I remember that people like you got an a list and the b list They're like, yeah, you know, it's my father's friend and you know He I don't know if he really is going to give me a good gift or you know, he's not really a friend But uh, he's he's a nice guy and whatever it is, but we'll put him on the b list Yeah, you got the his and her list right right grant You know what? I had the evk on that list. I took it out. I don't know what happened with this There's about a hundred and twenty two percent Um, she's not really moving that much. I know it's on our big watch list over there It's actually the biggest percentage gainer on the nasdaq market right now Actually near in the whole exchange, but um, I don't know. I'm not really feeling it. It doesn't really like it's moving It's it's trading within this 250 to 280. There's a big iceberg order. You can see there for 28,000 Right now. So kind of explains why there's support levels there. Remember guys got to follow the money. That's it All right, everybody. So there's your list. So before we go, um Just kind of kind of show everybody don't forget. Let me just expand this so everybody can see it Today is a very very big day. Make sure you're registered if you're on youtube or facebook live um, we're gonna have Book map that's going to be on he's going to talk about, you know level four, you know, I'm a huge fan We use it some people like I mean like, oh my god, I why didn't I know about this before? Well, guess what? Now we're going to have one of the top guys there from book map that's going to speaking at 12 to 1 I'm going to jump on at 1 to 2. I'm gonna you're gonna I'm going to show you a little bit more about the level 3 and the level 4 how to utilize it You got barry burns from top dog trading and we got my very very good friend He's been around as long as I've been around price headly um My friend from kentucky who always gives me my uh, my kentucky derby winners and you know, he's a great presenter Great speaker. So you got you got four great presenters and then come on So please make sure you're registered. You're there and you're um, you're uh, you're gonna be around for the whole time But um, so I look forward seeing you there at 12 o'clock in the meantime, everyone will be back We'll see you back at 2 30 for the afternoon meeting. Good luck everyone. See you at 12


Hi, this is Don Wright, Santosh asked me to make a quick overview video of the changes we've made to Business 233 in this minor revision. And I apologize, I don't have time to make this into a formal presentation, so I'm probably going to ramble here, but I'm going to try to cover the things that we changed. The real thrust behind the change was, of course, to improve student outcomes, which means better grades, fewer drops. We approached that by trying to reduce clutter, visual clutter, cognitive overload that students see. One of the concerns I had is that students are intimidated when they reach the 233. The things that we can do to make it less intimidating for those first week to two weeks I think would be helpful. So let's look at course information start here. We made some changes here, and if you remember the old table of content, it was much, much denser and a lot of stuff in there. So we tried to weed out everything that did not pertain particularly to Business 233. These are the standard things that are required in every Excelsior course. The only thing that is really 233 specific, of course, the syllabus, which we didn't change, and the rubrics, which we didn't change. But everything else is the same. What we decided to do was put these new things into a module zero. Santosh had, and some other instructors had done this, done that in an accounting course, and it seemed to work well. So we were going to build a module zero here to put the critical things about 233 we felt students needed to have. Unfortunately, and you probably need to make an announcement, we were not allowed to change this. Where do I go from here in the start here section? It still has to say go to module one when we really want students to go to module two. So perhaps putting a little announcement to say, hey, after you finish start here, go to module zero, not module one. Back on the homepage tab, you can see we've added the module zero here, course introduction. I'll click on that. Again, we're trying to make it clean and not intimidating. We have the introductory video about what to expect in Business 233 that we've used before. We have a new page about the textbook, which is simplified, but does call the attention to the students that if they can use a digital text and they can probably save some money. We have a new page about my stat lab. We've got a page about technology tools that's been refined and cleaned up from what we had in the old course. And then we've added a scavenger hunt, which is something that they've used in the accounting courses. Then of course the questions and answers. This is the new textbook page. I hope you can see it's cleaned up quite a bit, but we do get across the message of students that they can save some money by buying access to my stat lab and using the digital text. This is the new my stat lab page. It's I think a lot cleaner, hopefully less intimidating. We do give them some key information about the fact that all the homework, et cetera, is done there. We talk about how to get access. There's a new video for how to register for my stat lab, as well as the old PDF and a link to get to my stat lab for students to use. This is a new cleaned up a bit technology tool page. I would point out there's a lot of text on here. Everything they need to know is in this three minute video that we provided and you've seen before. This is just a rehash of that. We are trying to nudge them, guide them, push them to use stat crunch if they don't have skills or something else and to be aware they do not have to buy a TI calculator to pass this course. So hope that helps. We've added a scavenger hunt that was suggested and the idea there is use a little bit of gamification to make a little bit of fun. But to make sure students have gathered from what they've got out of the start here section in the module zero section, certain key things. They have to complete the scavenger hunt. They do not get any points toward a grade, but they do have to complete it. It's very short, multiple choice. All of the answers come from the material that they should have already looked at as part of the start here in the module zero. We have made some changes in the active modules themselves. Module one is typical of that. One thing we wanted to do was to get rid of the second weekly discussion if we could in the eight week term courses. But unfortunately we have to have the 15 week and 18 week parallel as you know. So that means we need a second discussion in each module in order to get students active every week in the course. As we all know, students don't do anything that isn't graded and gets them points. So that means the second discussion has to be a graded discussion. What we've tried to do is to make it less honor us less like an academic exercise and more relevant. We'll be looking at that in a section. I did want to point out that we've made some changes to the learning and assessment activities pages. In the old course there was a great deal of overlap and redundancy between the learning and assessment activities pages and the module notes and there were some conflicts between the notes and the assessment activities page. So we've cleaned that up a bit. It's still intimidating because it's meant to be a checklist for a student of everything that they need to do. What they need to read, what they need to view, what they need to submit and the discussions they need to participate in. You might notice that we got rid of the old narrated notes, power points that were in the learning and assessment activities. Because they were old, they were out of date, they were fourth edition. They were paying to download and a lot of trouble for students. Again, they were redundant. We were requiring students to look at the narrated notes and on the same material the power points that were in the module notes and now we're required to watch the videos of my stat lab. So they were being forced to look at the same material three times, which again is a lot of mental workload and intimidation that first week. The module notes have been cleaned up and we've removed everything that was redundant, repetitive from the learning and assessment activities. We have a little bit of additional learning material that is labeled Extennial Learning. Some of these are Pearson applets. Others are sections in the textbook that they need to pay attention to because we hit them later on. We've done that for all of the module notes trying to make them cleaner. The first two discussions in module one, we're trying to get students to pick a technology and again that looks like a lot of verbiage there. But in essence it's just an overview again of the various technologies they need to choose and choose early. In my experience I have a number of students who seem to procrastinate about making a choice and they get into the second week or third week even and they're all of a sudden saying, Prof, what do I do? I don't know how to use Excel. I don't have a TI and I don't know anything about stat crunch. So we're trying to push them to make a decision and hopefully discuss about that in this first discussion. The second discussion is again trying to make statistics relevant for adult learners as you know that is very, very important. The last thing I want to show you, example is then here in module two, the second discussion in many modules now, almost every module except for exams in the module one, we have this pick your problem discussion. It's graded, trying to make it too intimidating, but we're asking students to pick a problem that they're struggling with either from the current module or past module, so bring it forward, ask for help, show things they've learned, give resources, something that is really immediately relevant and helpful to students as opposed to an academic exercise. So I hope it helps. And really that's it. Those are the changes that we were able to make in this minor revision. We didn't make any changes in my stat lab, didn't change anything in the exams. We just primarily refined and cut down the clutter. Each one of the modules, the learning and assessment and the module notes as I mentioned have been cleaned up and refined and eliminated redundancies. And we've changed the second discussion in most modules so that it's not an academic type discussion. And we hope that this helps.


Offering products is a serious issue. Ohh, unfortunatley, the offering now affect a wide range of industry sectors right from luxury goods right through to consumer's electronic equipment Everything you can think of now, unfortunately, is counterfeiting. It's a major, a major global issue. Well, it affects the business in the sense that it takes away profit from companies, but equally as importantly, it provides danger health and safety issues to consumers who are buying products that haven't been rigorously tested. It affects the global economy, it affects tax revenues, it affects employment opportunities, it really affects huge amounts of people counterfeiting. Well, unfortunately profit, people counterfeit products to make money and unfortunately counterfeiting over the last few years we've seen an increase in organised crime being involved in counterfeiting. Counterfeiters perceive counterfeiting activities to give them the opportunity to make money whilst having an activity that they perceive there's lower risk of being caught and if they are caught and prosecuted, invariably penalties are less for counterfeiting than some other types of criminal activity. Bazcap is very keen to work with governments and law enforcement agencies to raise the awareness of the problem of counterfeiting of ICT products to ensure that governments take the problem seriously, to ensure that there are robust laws and legislation in place to try and prevent counterfeiting and to ensure that law enforcement agencies, both customs agencies at the borders and police within countries, have a robust attitude to tackling counterfeiting offences. It's very important that consumers are made aware of the dangers of counterfeits and most companies will have programmes whereby they can educate the customer of the dangers of counterfeits and explain to the customer how they can be best protected and can ensure that they are buying genuine product rather than counterfeit. No, I would disagree with that. Often price is one factor but it's one of many, many factors. A lot of counterfeiters now are selling products at almost the same prices as genuine products because they know by selling it cheap it readily identifies as a counterfeit and so often you will find that counterfeit prices are almost on a par with genuine prices.


Language is a communication system employing arbitrary symbols. These symbols, normally words, have to be stored. The following different types of word store exist. On the one hand, we have dictionaries. On the other, we have lexicons. Well, both types of word stores will be addressed in the following. Let's start with dictionaries. Now, word stores that are primarily consulted for the reason of retrieving information about the words of a language are referred to as dictionaries. Today, we have two types of variants of dictionaries. We have book dictionaries over here, the classical form of a dictionary. And we have machine readable dictionaries. Dictionaries which are delivered either on external disks such as CD-ROM, DVD, or more commonly today on the web. The most common types of book dictionary are encyclopedic monolingual dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries or dictionaries for special purposes, such as dictionaries that represent synonyms. Machine readable dictionaries are similar concerning their content. However, as I said, they are delivered externally on specific storage devices such as CD-ROMs or in the cloud of the World Wide Web. Dictionaries do not play any role within the theory of grammar. Rather, they are independent word stores used to obtain information about the words of a language. Let's now look at lexicons. Now, a lexicon is the central component of a natural language processing system, whether human or machine. And thus, it is a central component of a theory of grammar. Why is this so? Well, any theory of grammar seeks to define among others the principles underlying language processing and language acquisition. Thus, the central word store in this respect is the mental lexicon rather than any variant of a dictionary. The reason is quite simple. Whereas dictionaries are static and do not allow any changes to their contents. The mental lexicon, the lexicon we have in our minds or the lexicon that is used in a grammatical theory, permits the possibility of changing its structure, additions, extractions, rearrangement of the material or the modification of the entries. It closely interacts with other components of grammar and provides detailed information about the words to be generated. Let's see how this information, the information associated with lexical entries, is represented. And we will look at all levels of linguistics in the following from phonology to semantics. So let's start with phonology. Now here I have four lexemes built C and that and I would now like to build up the phonological information associated with each entry. The phonological specification in the lexicon defines a segmental and suprasegmental properties of a lexeme. That is, we have to present the phonemic structure for example. So here the fact that we have bill consisting of these phonemes. We could also represent allophonic information or distinctive feature information, but let's keep it as simple as possible. And we have to represent information about the syllable structure. So here in this case it is a typical syllable with an onset, a peak and a coda. We might want to add stress aspects, intonational aspects. Well here we don't have to do it because we have a monosyllabic entry in present day English. Let's do the same for the other entries. Here we have C which is this sort of syllable structure. And we have that which, well that is an interesting element. It can be a weak form so in connected speech this behaves a little bit different from the others. And finally we have the preposition in which has just a V-C structure. So this then is the phonological representation of our four lexemes. Let's now look at the morphological information associated with our lexemes. Now the morphological specification defines the lexical category. That is the word class associated with each lexeme. Now this would be very simple. However we need a little bit more information than that bill is a noun. For example we need a special noun class. Let's call it noun class 2 which indicates to us N2 would be an arbitrary symbol by the way. Which indicates to us that under normal circumstances bill does not involve a plural. Likewise we have to represent that C is a verb but again we could use a symbol let's call it V4. Again this is fully arbitrary we could call it V12345 depending on our internal classification. Now here we want to indicate that verbs of this particular type have an irregular past form that has to be retrieved from elsewhere. So that is a determiner and N is a preposition. So this is the morphological information. Let's now move on with syntax. The syntactic specification defines the context of a lexeme in terms of other categories. The notation is relatively straightforward. Now first of all we define the word class. Bill is a noun and here we don't have to represent the fact that bill is a special noun that doesn't involve a plural under normal circumstances. We simply write down N for noun. Then a colon follows this is a notational convention and then we have the context in angular brackets. Now what is the context of the noun? Well this is the position of the noun itself. This is where the noun occurs. Can anything occur after the noun? Bill by brother? Bill from London? Well it can almost unrestrictedly. However before the noun we have to represent the fact somehow that a determiner cannot precede. So the bill is normally impossible. Well of course you can have sentences like the bill I know is much stronger than the bill you know but that's a special context. Let's now look at the verb C. Well C is a verb and well this would be the position of the verb and underscore for the position. Well and what can follow? Can I have a sentence like John C's Mary saw? Well I can't. What we do need is a noun phrase that follows. Well and this frame this representational format is called a subcategorization frame. Likewise we can represent this information for that which is our determiner. Well what is the context of that? Well that has to be followed by a noun that is represented in the singular. If we take this particular that as a determiner and not as a conjunction. Well and finally we have our preposition. Now in English prepositions as the term says precede something. Now what do they precede? Well they precede obviously a noun phrase. Well and this noun phrase well it has to be locative or directional. So in the garden, in London and in five minutes which is of course temporal but time information can also be interpreted as a special case of location locative information on a time scale. So this concludes the syntactic representation or the syntactic specification of a lexical entry. Let's now move on with the meaning that is the semantic specification. Well this specification defines the meaning of a lexeme. This can be done via lexical features in a binary fashion plus minus values or it can be done via special symbols that are coupled with more complex information. Well let's do it for our examples. Well bill first of all is of course our noun again and now we can of course associate some features with this. So bill is animate, bill is human, bill is male. Well let's stop here. Now for C there are various options for a verb. One option defines a verb in terms of certain primitive acts. This would be the conceptual dependency theory which goes back to the American psychologist Roger Schenck. An alternative representation would use thematic roles in order to define what sort of noun phrases can surface as a subject, as the object of a particular verb. So this means it's a verb of mental transfer which involves then certain roles and objects and classes to be associated with it. Well that is our determiner. It is demonstrative. Well we could say it's definite as well. Well in our preposition well we've seen that already is locative and directional so these are the semantic features associated with our preposition. Let's summarize and take our entry bill. Well here you see the collection of lexical specifications that are associated with our lexeme bill. Lexemes by the way I forgot to mention are always presented in capital letters. This is a convention in linguistics. Now here we have the phonology. This would be the morphology, syntactic representation and finally we have the sort of well semantics or meaning representation associated with our lexical entry. In the theory of grammar linguists are primarily concerned with those aspects that are necessary to define the legitimacy of syntactic structures. That is they confine themselves by and large to the morphological and syntactic aspects where a little bit of the semantics enters into the syntactic representation because we have to specify the arguments of verbs and of other categories in terms of thematic information. But that's a different story which will be explained in the e-lecture lexical insertion.


So it seems like at each debate Tulsi Gabbard kind of sets her sights on one particular candidate at first It was Kamala Harris and she basically gave Kamala's campaign a death blow She then tried to target Elizabeth Warren at the last debate It didn't necessarily land, but she got in a pretty solid shot at Pete Buddha judge And I think this one's gonna hurt him a little bit. Take a look But I want to get back to Pete Buddha judge and his comment about Experience I Pete you'll agree that the service that we both have provided to our country as veterans By itself does not qualify us to serve as commander-in-chief I think the most recent example of your Inexperience in national security and foreign policy came from your recent careless statement about how you as president be willing to Send our troops to Mexico to fight the cartels as As commander-in-chief Leader of our armed forces, I bring extensive experience serving for seven years in Congress on the foreign affairs committee On the armed services committee on the homeland security committee meeting with leaders of Countries around the world working with military commanders of different commands Dealing with high-level national security briefings Understanding what's necessary the preparation that I've gotten to walk in on day one to serve as commander-in-chief I know that it's par for the course in Washington to take remarks out of context But that is outlandish even by the standards of today's politics. Are you saying that you didn't say that? I was talking about us Mexico cooperation. We've been doing security cooperation with Mexico for years with law enforcement Cooperation and a military relationship that could continue to be developed with training Relationships for example, do you seriously think anybody on this stage is proposing invading Mexico? Alliances and if your question is about experience, let's also talk about judgment one of the foreign leaders you mentioned meeting Was Basha or a loss of I have in my experience such as it is whether you think it counts or not since it wasn't Accumulated in Washington enough judgment that I would not have sat down with a murderous dictator like that Whether you would send our troops to Mexico to fight cartels and your answer was yes The fact checkers can check this out, but your point about judgment is absolutely correct Our commander-in-chief does need to have good judgment And what you've just pointed out is that you would lack the courage to meet with both adversaries and friends To ensure the peace and national security of our nation I take the example of those leaders who have come before us leaders like JFK who met with Khrushchev like Roosevelt who met with Stalin like Reagan who met Like Reagan who met and worked with Gorbachev these issues of national security are incredibly important I will meet with and do what is necessary to make sure that no more of our brothers and sisters in uniform are Needlessly sent into harm's way fighting regime change wars that undermine our national security I'll bring real leadership and experience to the White House So that was certainly one of the highlights of the debate It's one of the instances of you know kind of a back-and-forth that really stood out to me And I really will give Tulsi Gabbard credit I've been critical of her in the past, but she deserves credit because if you are Attending this debate it behooves you to attack the person who is now largely viewed as the new front-runner at least in Iowa Right because if you're a front-runner you have to prove that you are worthy of that position And you have to defend your front-runner status, but for whatever reason People didn't want to attack people to judge like Kamala Harris was handed a golden opportunity to attack people to judge For not reaching out to black voters enough, and she backed away like there were numerous instances where Pete would a judge could have been attacked and People chose not to go after him now Amy Klobuchar to her credit kind of went after him with regard to an experience But you know she she didn't really target him in the way that Tulsi Gabbard did So everyone else on the stage should really thank Tulsi Gabbard for doing their dirty work for them because they should have Really focused on Pete Buttigieg So was important to call him out because this is someone who absolutely is a fraud who needs to be called out So I give her credit for that that being said Do I believe this was as effective as her attack on Kamala Harris? No, I think that this is definitely going to hurt him a little bit I don't know that it will have the same impact that her criticism of Kamala Harris had now I'll tell you why that's the case. So when she Criticized Kamala Harris she threw a bunch of stuff at Kamala Harris Kamala Harris couldn't have possibly responded to everything Every point of criticism that Tulsi brought up in that short period of time So Kamala Harris was kind of just left flailing.  But in this instance, Tulsi Gabbard really centered her focus on one thing the idiotic You know prospect of potentially sending US troops to Mexico to combat gang and drug violence And we started the war on drugs that led to the violence in Latin America But that's a different story for a different day She focused on that and because she just focused on that one issue I think it wasn't as powerful as it could have been because you know, I've been talking about Pete Buttigieg lately His record is terrible, right? He has a plethora of scandals in South Bend that she could have also lumped in she could have threw out You know the scandal with him firing the police chief and there's basically an endless supply of content For criticizing Pete Buttigieg But she only focused on the one scandal and as a result He was able to respond directly and kind of defend himself now overall Stepping back. I think that it's pretty apparent that Tulsi Gabbard got the better of that exchange between the both of them Because once she invoked his name, he kind of got in some shots at her But I think she did a good job at like spinning it and directing the conversation back on to him But he wouldn't have been as equipped and prepared to defend himself Had she just thrown a number of things at Pete Buttigieg So she you know, she talked about how that Statement really demonstrates how he's inexperienced to lead and then she went on to talk about her experience and how she serves on You know different committees and whatnot. I would have spent that time just still hammering Pete Buttigieg With that being said, we'll focus on what was said there So he responded by saying actually you took me out of context. That's not necessarily what I said And then he said do you seriously think anybody on this stage is for invading Mexico? Now he tried to play this off as if you know She was being hyperbolic and she was misrepresenting what he said and Tulsi Gabbard asked for a fact check And I'm going to fact check her now. She is 100% correct And I'll let you see for yourself So this is from Brian Anderson of the Sacramento Bee who writes South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg said at a Latino forum in Los Angeles on Sunday that he'd be willing to send US troops into Mexico To combat gang and drug violence There was a scenario where we could have security cooperation But a judge said even so he added the caveat I'd only order American troops into conflict if American lives were on the line And if it was necessary to meet treaty obligations his campaign later clarified that Buddha judge would only be open to military use As a last resort in response to Mexican cartel violence or an outside threat that endangers the country's security So what he tried to do was make it seem as if she was accusing him of wanting to invade Mexico Now that's preposterous and that's kind of clever on his part But the facts are the facts. He said what he said she called him out for it knocked him for it And she's right So fact check it's 100% true. So what did he try to do? He tried to Spin this and make it about her, which is really what you want to do, right? If you're backed into a corner you deflect and rather than playing defense you start playing offense So he knocked her for Predictably meeting with Assad now this has been tried out time and again whenever somebody is backed into a corner by Tulsi Gabbard Kamala Harris was the same way they bring up Assad. She did this after the debate I think Tim Ryan after the debate when she Got into a heated back and forth with him in that very first debate He also knocked her for meeting with Assange. It's not Assange Assad And yeah, it's just at this point in time It's just tired, right? I think that diplomacy is important and Pete would have judged kind of Shed light into his horrible foreign policy when she defended herself now. I think that she did a good job at actually Spinning this and defending herself and also kind of demonstrating why he's a warmonger So, you know, she likened her meeting with Assad for you know purposes of diplomacy To you know, when JFK met with Khrushchev and Roosevelt met with Stalin and then what did Pete Buttigieg say? Like how Trump met with Kim as if that's a bad thing I dislike Donald Trump But what would you prefer Pete Buttigieg because Donald Trump is either hot or cold, right? He's he's at a hundred percent or zero percent or would we prefer him making this half-assed attempt to you know Work out some type of peace deal with Kim Jong-un Look, I've said this before Donald Trump is in over his head and he doesn't really know what he's doing like he doesn't really have any Core philosophy when it comes to diplomacy or foreign policy. So he doesn't really know what he's doing, right? He is influenced by who strokes his ego the best. He's a child. He's a man, baby So I don't think he's actually going to be capable of achieving some sort of lasting peace But should we give him credit for at least trying? Yes Because what Pete Buttigieg is doing is he's doing what Hillary Clinton did to Obama back in 2008 When she criticized Obama for saying he would meet with Iran without preconditions This is part of diplomacy and Tulsi Gabbard is right to say that it's it's okay to meet with our adversaries Now Tulsi Gabbard is not perfect here because while I do believe that her meeting with Assad for purposes of peace mattered um, I don't like that she will give our allies a pass for example She has a relationship with Modi that makes me feel very uncomfortable because he is a fascist and He is currently escalating tensions with Pakistan by just taking over Kashmir and this could lead to nuclear war, right? These are both nuclear armed countries So it goes both ways like you can't just agree to meet with our adversaries and then continue meeting with our allies and give them a Pass like I also want you to use your position as commander-in-chief to put pressure on our allies So pressure, you know the leader of the Philippines for example Robert Duterte To stop doing all of these extra judicial killings of his own people Call out Myanmar for their genocide of the Rohingya like use your position of power To actually fight for peace and not give our allies a pass So, you know, I have my criticisms of Tulsi Gabbard there with that being said on the substance of this exchange Um, she was a hundred percent correct So overall I think that she definitely got the better of this exchange Mainstream media is probably not going to see that this way because they love people to judge And they they don't like Tulsi Gabbard So we'll see how this plays out. We'll see how this affects people to judge in the polls if I had to predict This probably won't have the impact that it had You know when Tulsi hit Kamala Harris But if this just like knocks him down a few pegs in and of itself, that's great And I am wholly grateful to Tulsi for doing what nobody else really seemed to want to do on the debate stage You like you've got to go after the frontrunner And Tulsi Gabbard did that now do I wish she'd also direct her, you know, I or at Biden Yes, because he also is a regime change Candidate, right? He voted for the Iraq war like the same thing that she criticizes Hillary Clinton for I mean She doesn't criticize Joe Biden for so I don't necessarily know the criteria that she uses to evaluate who she's going to attack You know, there's certainly some type of logic to it You know based on coming to the debate and who she's going to target Maybe just she she selects targets that she thinks she can pull voters in from maybe that's it But I don't know but overall great job to Tulsi here I think she did a good job in calling on people to judge there's area for improvement But at the same time what she did was great I'll take what I can get he needs to be called out and she did just that


Hey guys it's Leigh Ann and I'm here today to talk about Piranesi by Susanna Clark. Susanna Clark of course is the author who gave us the incredibly long Johnson Strange and Mr. Norrell. This book by contrast is extremely short. I read it in one day, not even a whole day, like a fraction of a day. And it is quite different from Johnson Strange and Mr. Norrell. However I would say if you like Johnson Strange and Mr. Norrell then I think you would probably like this as well. What is Piranesi? What I knew going into it and that is absolutely true is that it's about a magical house. I mean it's magical but I feel like when I went into it having heard that it's about a magical house I pictured like you know like a Victorian house or something that has ghosts in it or something like that and it's not like that at all but it is about a magical house. This house is like the size of a continent so it is about a house because it's all like interconnected like adjoining rooms but it's like you could travel it for days and days and days which is what the main character Piranesi does. Piranesi is this kind of oddly childlike but also completely scholarly and quite analytical thinking individual who inhabits this house and he spends his days going from room to room documenting what he finds trying to figure out what everything means according to him the entire world and the world to him is this house has like a handful of people in it and he's kind of interested in finding other people like the very idea of more than a handful of people is kind of like the stuff of legend to him like wouldn't it be crazy if there was like 50 people can you imagine?  So it has if you're getting you're probably getting the sense already that like some of that quirky humor that is present in John Strange and Mr. Norrell is kind of present throughout Piranesi so the plot and the characters the situation is quite different from John Strange and Mr. Norrell and it's again much shorter that quintessentially quirky innocent and yet dark vibe and humor of Susan Clark that was present in John Strange and Mr. Norrell is definitely present here and if that's what you liked about the other book if you just enjoyed kind of like the nature of her storytelling where it is kind of like quirky takes its time isn't in a hurry is kind of strange and unsettling at times but also kind of sweet and innocent in its own way and just very much her own thing that I think you're gonna really really like Piranesi and then of course throughout this book is the them just the mystery of like so who is Piranesi where did how did he end up in this house what is this house why is this house he Piranesi himself doesn't really know and so as he's like putting together the mystery of his surrounding so that's kind of his whole his whole life his whole day is trying to kind of figure things out about his the world that he inhabits so you're learning about it both from him and with him which is kind of just a fun journey to go on with him. The audiobook is narrated by Chua which I mean that's just an absolute treat so if you're into audiobooks I'd recommend it he does a great job and I think blurb on the back David Mitchell's blurb I think is a really good description of what this book is so I'm just gonna read it. What a world says Anna Clark conjures into being what a tiktok tiktok of reveals. Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle box and I would agree it is kind of like a puzzle box so I would say I do think I think I think John the Strange Mr. Norrell is a better book than Piranesi. It's also like monstrously longer than Piranesi. Piranesi is just a much simpler story there's one main character who you follow and you slowly piece together like the why and where for of the house that he inhabits so that's kind of all there is to the story there is anything more to it it's all the mystery of why he's here and and what here is so it is quite mysterious while you're trying to figure that out and while Piranesi is trying to figure that out there were moments that were kind of unsettling but it's one of those where like once you find out the answer I felt similarly about this as I did about the Seven Deaths of Evil and Hardcastle if you read that by Stuart Turton where the journey itself is a lot more engrossing and interesting than the answer. So I mean I don't want to spoil Piranesi or the Seven Deaths of Evil and Hardcastle but both of those books I would say the queerness of their premise is much more enticing and and fun but it's not one of those where like once you learn the answer you're dying to go back and reread it to pick a part now that you know I don't feel that way at all about either book it's more like okay well kind of liked it better when I didn't know like it's not bad I gave both books four stars so I quite enjoyed the journey for both of them I just think both books are a better journey than destination I don't think either could really truly satisfy me deliver on the enigma of their promise yeah I mean I would still recommend it I feel like I'm sounding really lukewarm on it I do think it's kind of like a fun little treat of a mystery puzzle box so yeah ultimately I would say check it out especially if you like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell I think you will like this because the charm of her storytelling is present and it is similar and the the vibe and the tone and the quirkiness of her humor and her prose is is there so if that's what if you enjoy her storytelling I think you will like Piranesi and again the narration by Chihuahua Telegio 4 is top notch. Let me know in the comments down below if you've read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and what you thought of that book if you've read Piranesi what you thought of that book if you're interested in reading either one based on my description today it both sound terrible to you whatever you want to let me know I post videos on Saturdays also at other random times but definitely Saturdays so like and subscribe and I'll see you when I see you bye


I literally picked up a grail sneaker that I thought I would never get so in today's video I'm gonna be showing you guys what I copped over the past couple weeks I've been picking up a bunch of different stuff and we're gonna be going through all the GRs Pes you name it and hopefully this will give you guys an update of where I'm at with current pickups Or if you want to see any other in-depth reviews of these sneakers Let me know down below in the comment section But with all that being said let's go ahead and get over here and get to unboxing these shoes Because we got a good amount to go through all right first up We got the Michigan Air Jordan 12 PE now there was two different versions of this shoe right here You had the GR release and then you had the PE version They did come separately when it comes to the materials a little bit But the overall configuration when it comes to the stitching or kind of the embossment of the new buck that you see On the upper right here. So or suede whatever you want to call it either way This is the PE version that was for the actual players And I ended up picking these up for the collection Wanted to add them and just because I have the nines and I have the sixes now I got the 12s I still need to get like the fours the fives the threes different stuff like that But I thought this was a very clean shoe from the get go a long time ago And once I finally had the opportunity to add these into my collection I was like, you know what the time is finally right. Let's go ahead and do it So I saw these when I was at untied LA last time I was out there I ended up picking these up so shout out to them again If you guys haven't used the discount code DNA show that'll get you guys free shipping from their website I'll be copying kicks from them all the time. I got a bunch of stuff Actually, not a bunch of stuff, but probably like two or three pickups from them recently over the past few weeks from them So we're going to go through everything. Um, but yes, if you guys want to see a full in-depth review of this sneaker Let me know down below in the comment section I'll make sure I get that out for you. But that is my first pickup. Honestly one of my Actually, I don't even know if this is one of my top. This is definitely not one of my top three pickups That's in this video. Hmm. I don't know. I'll let you guys decide Um, next up right here. We got the gold olympic USA bare brick. I haven't even opened this thing up yet. It's still brand new. I haven't even cracked the seal So I got the big version. Oh, I got the big version too. Now. I need to get the chicago versions as well with the gold plated version So I really like these. I got a bare brick collection and I have probably about I don't know maybe like 12 to 15 bare bricks in this size and then my first 1000% one was this one As well. So I was excited to add this into the collection And I'm looking forward to putting this on display someday. Maybe when I get another like sneaker room or a move I don't know. We'll figure it out. But this is definitely going to go on display somewhere I'll find a dope space for it for sure. So this was another pickup I know it wasn't really a sneaker pickup, but it is kind of related to that type of stuff Oh, yeah, and by the way, if you didn't know by now, my name is dj and this is the dna show Next up we have a cheaper item one that I feel like was kind of slept on but then once I got the shoe in hand I was like the materials. They're just like Not that good, you know, I'm saying like the colorway is solid But for some reason the materials on these just feel like Just so cheap. I don't know what it is Like they tried to do that like cracked leather vibe like the amas and different stuff like that But at the same time it just doesn't feel good But the details on this shoe are really really nice. The chinese new year air jordan six low I love jordan sixes. That's one of my favorite models and this colorway is honestly really really clean I think you can pull a lot of outfits off with it Now are these going to be one of the top sneakers of the year or anything like that? They're probably going for under retail, which is great because that's what I got them for and I think Honestly, it's just overall a clean shoe. So if you guys have these in your collection Let me know what you think about these down below in the comment section I would love to hear about everybody else's opinion But I think that you know just the overall designs on the box the elements and everything that they did With the details on the sock liner and little add-ons. They did a really good job next up right here We have one of my pickups that I was extremely happy about right here and this is A off-white air jordan two Now I don't know if you guys have seen on the channel in the past But I did pick up a pair when they first came out I don't know if you guys know which colorway I got though. So for those that know and watch all the videos on the channel I got the black and blue pair when they first came out and now I have the chicago pair right here And oh man, these things are so clean. I've been waiting to add these to the collection I know I was a little late, but I finally got them shout out to untied l.a as well They came through in the clutch for your boy. I seen they had them and I was like bro Y'all got a size 13. It was like, yes, we got one size 13 So I immediately was like I got a cop got to have these in the collection Just made so much sense with I don't know. I just think these are extremely fine I know everybody's hyping up twos and all the different stuff, but for me Yeah, these go crazy. All right next up right here. We have the air jordan 13 This is a gr that pretty much sat and I think it's probably still available in a lot of stores Which is fine with me. I thought it was a clean color way I was gonna end up doing a review for you guys on this shoe and then I didn't have time The materials on these are really honestly just not cutting it for me, bro I didn't really feel like making a video about the shoe at the same time. It's a cool color way I get that but just overall I wasn't too excited and happy about this one So I thought I was gonna keep these for the collection, but I might not I don't know So if you guys do want these let me know down below in the comment section I might end up giving them away or selling them for the low or whatever. I don't know We'll figure something out Let me know what you guys think about these down below in the comment section And we can make a final decision if I give the shoe away or if somebody wants to buy them or whatever I don't know. We'll we'll figure it all out But either way this was one of my other pickups from the past couple weeks and I just you know It was just another pickup like it wasn't something that made me super excited I was just planning on making a video now these These in particular I was very excited about and I never made a video. I literally I'm slackin bro. I should definitely make a review and just talk about My memories and everything from this sneaker right here. The Citrus Air Jordan 7 Uh, I've had these they just been sitting in the corner. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna make the video. I haven't had time Oh, I made a video having time and it's like man. Everybody's sleeping on the shoe is sitting on shelves Nobody cares about it. I wonder if they even want to see the review or not Maybe I don't know I'll do it and then next thing, you know, I didn't make the review So now at this point here you guys go. I have this shoe. I added it to the collection I'm excited to have these these have So many memories when it comes to the first pair for me wearing them back in high school and everything like that So for me, this is one of the dope Retros to come out again and see it all happen again. We kind of get that each year with certain models You know, we got the raging bull fives and the lightning floors and different things like that kind of retro And again over the past couple years and stuff. So to see this one come back out Made me very very happy. I was excited that not that many people wanted them So I made it easy to cop and that because of that, it was, you know, a great addition to the collection And something that I was again very excited about. All right. Next up right here. We got a recent pick up I actually just got these a couple days ago. This is my third pair But these are worn so I made so much sense because I was like great now I can actually wear these ones I know everybody will wear your shoes. Well, it's easy if you got a clean worn pair already like We can talk about that later. But either way I got another pair of Travis Scott highs right here. The prices are going down a little bit I think they're getting here goes argument in the comment section I think these are getting a little bit more affordable seeing that the price is going down a little bit And some of the low tops are worth more than these now, which is even crazier. So I don't know. It's just very interesting But I got these for a really good deal of something I couldn't pass up and only made sense And I was like, you know what? I'm copping. I gotta get them. So here you go. Travis Scott. Hi Moka, we all kind of know and everybody's seen these before so I get it. I get it But let's take it to the next shoe because this one this one right here these next three four man We got some good pickups this month. I think these next ones right here Let me top of the list cream of the crop this The organ duck man air jordan five So there's about 25 pairs of this shoe made very very rare super exclusive when it comes to organ pe's This is probably one of the most rare ones out of the bunch If not at the top of the list when it comes to rarity Price you name all the different things. So for me, this is a sneaker that I had in a big size I got rid of and then Years later because I had like a size 15 and I got rid of it and then years later I've been looking and I've been looking and I've been looking and this pair comes by And soul steals they like yo, we got a pair and I'm like no way bro. I need them. I need them I need them. So we work out a deal. We ended up doing it a trade and I got the shoe. I was extremely happy I've had these for a little bit now And I just hadn't had time to make like a full video because I didn't know the approach of the video If you guys wanted to see a review talk about the trade all the different stuff Either way, let me know what you guys think about these down below in the comment section This is an ultimate Grail right here something that has me just Extremely excited for I've been saying extremely excited a lot in this video But just yeah, I'm just excited to have these because I had been working for so long to try to find a pair At a really good deal because this shoe right here Bro a used pair is going for like 15 racks a new pair is going for like 25 000 So at this point it's like it's insane. So for me to get these at what I got them for And to be able to find a pair that has been worn one time like it just all made so much sense again I couldn't pass it up it made so much sense. So if you guys want to see an in-depth review of the duckman fives Let me know down below in the comment section and I would love to give you guys a full History about the sneaker, especially this one in particular anybody if you know, you know The number one stitched on the tongue. This is a very Very infamous pair of sneakers right here. Some people may not know and I'm excited to educate but this This shoe this pair of shoes in particular not only the colorway, but the exact pair of sneakers There is a crazy story behind this shoe. So the fact that I have these in my collection It just blows my mind still to this day blows my mind. Oh my gosh, that's crazy Hey, if you like in this video and you haven't subscribed already, what you doing, bro? Hit that subscribe button as y'all know jordan brand continues to release more models and you know me I like to have everything. I like all the models. So here we have the hair air jordan 37s I'm gonna make it quick on these because I don't think there's too much to say We'll get into these later when I make a different video about them But I had to pick these up and only made sense. I'm like, I got all the other models I want to have the good colorways and everything Because for some reason when it comes to the higher model sneakers Yeah, they don't be like hyped up and everything But they be like low-key kind of hard to find like if you're looking for some 32s 34s 35s different stuff like that Like sometimes you got to pay like above retail like at a good price just to get that shoe So people will be sleeping on it. But at the same time it's smart to get them when they first come out So for me, I was like, you know what instant cop? Let's do it. I'll make some videos about them different things like that So I got a couple ideas for this shoe. I'll show you guys in the future when it comes to that one Now we got two more shoes right here. We got the off-white joints. Um Which one should I do? Oh, I'm gonna do this one first because I know you guys know what this one is And this is actually a different one. So the first one right here I finally got them y'all. I finally got them The green off-white Air Force ones. Oh my gosh. So, yeah, I was uh, again, like I said, I was out there in LA I saw these at untied and I was like, y'all got a 13 and they were like, we got one 13 I was like, this is crazy. You guys are coming through into clutch for your boy So I seen this and I was like, bro, I gotta get these immediately copped Great addition to the collection. I'm excited about these as well. See I'm excited because I think Hold on. Let me hold on real quick Because I got the yellow pair right here and I got the green pair right here And I want to get the blues. I still need to get the blues. We'll figure all that out But I'm just looking forward to not excited I'm looking forward to completing this set and and I love both of these It's very very hard for me to pick I post a poll and a lot of people say the green one over the yellow one Let me know what you think down below in the comment section But again, like you know, I'm a go ducks type of guy. So yellow or the green either one I love them. I think these are extremely clean simple yet unique And then obviously, you know all the history and everything behind it. R.P. Virgil a legend But I think yeah, two great shoes. Obviously, I didn't pick these ones up Recently so let's talk about these Anyways, I got the green pair. I'm excited. I'm happy about these and next The last and final pickup over the past couple of weeks These ones right here. So I used to have these in my collection.  I got a cop because the deal was right and it made so much sense We got the michigan off white dunk Now you guys know there were three off white dunks You had the green the blue and the red and then we saw the 50 pack come after that So originally got these when they first dropped and then well, I guess I guess technically originally got these when they first dropped and traded them for these And then now I finally got these because I did want to have these But I just liked the red pair more at the time I still like the red pair more But I know the green was a big favorite for everybody Like that was their number one and they kind of ranked them after that But I don't know the green one was like cool to me I don't know Let me know what you guys think down below in the conversation about those three and the rankings and everything like that And these are pretty much all of my pickups I think obviously as you guys know my number one prize possession when it comes to these cops Out of everything is going to be the duck man air Jordan 5 But we got the off white Chicago low tools. We got the green sparks.  We had I mean, there's some cool pickups You know I'm saying I'm not saying it was the the best pickups, but at the same time I thought it was real solid. So I figured I would update you guys I appreciate you as always if you want to see any other pickup videos like this Let me know down below in the comment section because I never have a chance to show you guys every single review of every single shoe that I get So if you want to see more series like this again, let me know and then again If you need to see any individual reviews of any of these shoes, let me know down below in the comment section All right y'all.

Dear freshman self, welcome to Berkeley. The next four years are about to change your life. You deserve to be here. Even if you raise your hand and get the answer totally wrong in math discussion, that day wear your embarrassment as a badge of honor for pushing past your comfort zone and keep taking chances. Keep speaking up. You should also know that there is no right answer to college.  That probably scares you right now because you're terrified of making decisions. That doesn't go away. But there are no wrong answers either, except burning yourself out. When it does feel like too much and it will, say something. There will be times when you reach out for help and just find empty air. Keep reaching. You'll join the speech team, perform in the vagina monologues, finally decide to double major and travel to Eastern Europe. You'll learn what success looks like to you, and you'll learn how to let go of everything else. And most of all, dear freshman self, know that you'll be just fine.  Hold on to the things that make you want to jump out of bed in the morning, even when you're exhausted, because when you do find those things, you'll feel like you can fly.
