PULSE magazine is a student-run lifestyle magazine, both in print and online at www.cwupulsemagazine.com. PULSE produces two issues an academic quarter. Student editors make policy and content decisions for the magazine, which serves as a public forum for student expression. PULSE serves the Central Washington University community with informative, engaging and interactive content covering campus and community life, trends and issues, and providing practical magazine and multimedia training.

EDI TO R’ S note I have been a part of PULSE Magazine since winter of 2016--my second quarter at Central. It all started when I was taking a class on European Cinema through the Williams O. Douglas Honors College with Jennifer Green, who also happens to be the faculty adviser for PULSE. Halfway through the quarter, she pulled me aside and suggested I should attend one of her other classes the following morning at 9 a.m. I showed up to the class, which was a story pitch meeting for PULSE’s second issue of the quarter. That same day I changed my field of study from pre-law to digital journalism and have not looked back.

Summer Issue One has been a learning experience for everyone, but I can say that as a staff, we are ready and eager for you to read it. In this issue, we help you ‘Beat the Heat’ with our package of tips and tricks for this crazy 100-degree weather on how to stay cool, TV shows to binge while avoiding the sun, skincare routines to help you avoid the dry and--in my case--burnt skin starting on page 16.

PULSE also takes you through the Pacific Northwest to plan the perfect road trip with your friends or family, including a playlist that will have a little something for everyone in the car. Read our story starting on page 24 then plug in your aux, grab your friends and hit the road!

It’s crazy to think I am now Editor in Chief because it had been a goal of mine since my very first article was published my freshman year. I now follow in the footsteps of the previous EICs I had the pleasure of working and learning from, Brielle, Bailey, Nicole and Lexi, and hope to continue their stride in improving PULSE. I honestly don’t know where I would be without Jennifer Green and PULSE Magazine, so I wanted to send a special thank-you to PULSE staffs past and present for shaping me into the better writer, editor and confident journalist I am today. PULSE became a second family and support system throughout my time at CWU and I am nervous to start this new chapter as EIC, but I am excited to share this journey with you all. #PULSEForLife

HOBBIES IN ELLENSBURG What to do in a Small Town Story by Krisee Nesmith // Photo by Lexi Wicks // Design by Amanda Smith

I

n a small college town like Ellensburg, you might feel as if your recreational activities are limited. This likely isn’t the case— you may just not be looking in the right places. Ellensburg offers several unique recreational activities that can easily be enjoyed alone or with friends.

Good sneakers or climbing shoes Clothing that warrants mobility Chalk to improve your grip on a boulder

ROCK CLIMBING Rock climbing is a popular sport in the Pacific Northwest, especially in Ellensburg since Central’s recreation center has its very own rock wall.

Aubrey Edwards, an avid climber and rock wall staff member, encourages anyone to give the rock wall a try.

“The rock wall is a fun way for people to practice techniques and strength train.

Plus, shoe rentals are only two dollars and we offer climbing courses for credit and belay clinics” she says.

FLY FISHING While rock climbing is a challenging, dynamic sport, fly fishing depends solely on natural elements and fish population. Fly fishing is popular in the Pacific Northwest and nearby areas like Idaho, Montana and Utah. Fishers use handmade flies that resembles baitfish to catch fish. Unlike regular fishing, fly fishing relies on good casting techniques, which come with practice.

Forrest Allread, a senior digital and broadcast journalism major at Central, began fly fishing five years ago when he was taken on a guide trip by local guide Jason Boitano. “I was really excited at first. The mechanics of casting are really fun to learn and to practice,” Allread says.

If you are enrolled in 12 on-campus credits, membership for the recreation center is included with your tuition.

The rock wall doesn’t charge students to climb below the 20foot line. To climb to the top of the 50-foot wall, though, staff members need to be present and the person belaying you has to be certified by attending a clinic or taking a test conducted by rock wall staff.

Some new climbers may find themselves sore after a session of climbing due to the pressure targeted on a single limb or hand. A couple of things Edwards wishes she knew before climbing is “how dynamic the sport is,” she says.

“Regardless of how experienced you are, there is always something new and fun to be learned. It never stops.”

Edwards likes to take it to the next level and finds herself bouldering in Leavenworth and at Vantage and Exit 38, which are the closest climbing spots to Ellensburg. She recommends bringing friends, crash pads, lots of chalk and friends who can spot you if you fall.

To start, the Yakima River that courses along Ellensburg is a prime location for beginners to try their hand fishing for healthy Rainbow Trout and Cut Throat Trout. Allread mentions, “There are also several ponds and small fishing holes that are spread out near the highway and by the canyon.”

Though you might think fly fishing only requires just a reel and rod, there are various items that are essential to an enjoyable fishing trip. When fishing on the Yakima River, Allread recommends a nine-foot, five or six weight rod and a good reel. If you decide you want to get serious about fly fishing, waders, wading boots, a rain jacket, a fly fishing vest, a reliable net and extra line of different weights and liters are recommended.

If you are new to fly fishing and want to be a part of a friendly community, Central offers a fly fishing course and recognizes the Fly Fishing and Conservation Club as an on-campus sports club. There are also guide shops in town such as Troutwater Fly Shop, Red’s Fly Shop, The Evening Hatch, Ellensburg Angler and Worley-Bugger Fly Co. that offer guide services and more information about fly fishing.

“Rock climbing has benefited me in so many ways.

I’ve made a lot of friends at the wall, have become physically stronger and have found a sport I really enjoy doing,” she says.

“The thing I love most about fly fishing is that feeling you get when your first big trout takes your fly.

The trout literally sharks out of the water and crushes your bug, then the trout dives into the water and it becomes a strategic fight of trying to land the fish without it popping off of your hook,” Allread says.

BEYOND CLIMBING & FISHING

Ellensburg has hidden gems around town that can help you kickstart a new hobby: a yarn store, geo-caching locations, live venues to perform at and attend and hiking trails. Give your ‘small’ college town a chance to kindle a new passion!

SUMMER 2018

If you often go shopping intent on finding a fully new outfit, thrifting may appear daunting. Being able to buy individual pieces and figuring out how to style them can be a challenge if you are not used to that way of shopping.

However, there are many places around CWU that are perfect if you are a beginner thrifter and need assistance styling and altering pieces to fit your unique look.

FINDING YOUR THREADS Ellensburg, being relatively small, may not appear to have the greatest range of stores for you and your friends to seek out inexpensive clothing or home décor. Yet, there are many events that occur throughout the school year that may yield a few great finds.

This past year the CWU Fashion Club held a thrifting event where students were able to shop affordable, second-hand clothing that benefited a campus organization. Sophomore Haley Fleming, an avid thrifter, attended this event and noted that “the general price range was about one to 15 dollars,” adding, “The cheapest top I bought was one dollar and the priciest ... was nine dollars.”

In general, this event would be an ideal place for you to scout out that perfect summer outfit or find a few cool pieces to reinvent old outfits.

On the other hand, if you’re in the market for a chunky knit sweater for all the snow days at school or in search of a pot to house your new succulent, then the Ellensburg Goodwill may be your next destination. “I look for clothes and pots for my plants at the Goodwill,” says Fleming. “If I want random items, I go to the Fruit Stand/Antique Mall in Thorp.” If you want to go clothing shopping and can’t wait until the next pop-up thrift event, then you may want to flip through the rack at Goodwill.

If you are interested in finding vintage decorations, kitchenware or are in need of some fresh fruit, the Thorp Fruit and Antique Mall is the spot.

Something else that you should take into consideration when deciding where to thrift is what each store’s target audience is. If you are someone who is interested in home décor or re-vamping vintage items and you want to help a great organization then The Habitat Store may be the place for you.

According to a member of the Habitat team, Samantha Tidd, “The vintage area is always a big hit. … It’s got tons of really unique items people like to use as décor [such as] wood framed windows, wood ladders, brown glass bottles and vintage books.”

TIME TO UPGRADE Now that you have found great pieces to add to your wardrobe or spice up your dorm room, how do you alter these pieces to fit your individualized style? You have your wooden picture frame from The Habitat Store and a plain brown tote bag from Goodwill, but you want to add a unique flare to each item and don’t know how. Well, there are many ways in which you can DIY both products to fit your need. Take the wooden frame that you bought, for example: there are many ways to make the piece feel new. You could paint the frame to match the color scheme of your room and print a photo you found online to replace the old photo that someone else had used. You could even buy other frames SUMMER 2018

11

and paint them complimentary colors and create a frame wall in your home. Home décor items are very easy to DIY in order to match your living space and show your own creative style.

CWU Alumna Nicole Phillips says that she has experience with refurbishing furniture from second-hand shops. “One item was a bedside table and the other was a dresser. I was able to sand [and] repaint them and replace the knobs so they fit my style better.”

Next, you want to reinvent the brown tote bag that seems slightly plain for the summer beach day you have planned with your friends. One way to add artistic flare to your purse is by using the technique of color blocking. Color blocking “purses or clutches can add a pop of color to your outfit,” according to a 2014 Huffington Post article.

The article also mentions that there are many other ways to “transform your thrift store finds” by creating high-waisted shorts from old pairs of jeans or cutting men’s band tees to create grunge tank tops. Another popular way to make old t-shirts and sweaters more wearable is by cropping them.

Fleming says that she will “usually keep the clothes how they come but ... [will] buys some tops with the intent of cropping them.” Cropping is a very cheap and quick way to revamp an old shirt that is too long and has recently become an appealing, summer fashion trend.

There are many opportunities during your time at CWU to find fun and fashionable items without breaking the bank, while still being able to show off your style. The process of finding items that fit your clothing or decorative style may be difficult, but anything that appears to be boring or in need of a new look can be reinvented. Thrift your heart out.

The hectic routine of work, school, relationships and other obligations can feel like there’s a weight constantly pressing on you.

Namaste. Take a moment, refocus your energy, and breathe. “One of the most important lessons I have learned so far through practicing meditation and mindfulness is that a peaceful mind is essential to living a peaceful life, and it is important to be aware of your state of mind,� says Julia Harry, an environmental science major at the University of Washington State.

We as students live each day in a hectic lifestyle that consumes our mind and often we find ourselves overwhelmed and full of anxiety. Meditation and yoga may just be a great alternative to relieving stress in any sort of lifestyle, whether as a student, 14

SUMMER 2018

worker or even athlete.

Common ways people relieve stress, especially in the college lifestyle, are by binge watching TV, sleeping a ton and, even worse, alcohol and drugs.

The best way to relieve stress is to do it in a mindful and healthy way rather than common alternatives that are not good for your mental or physical well-being.

Mindfulness meditation is loosely defined as awareness, and in advanced practices you are working towards complete consciousness of the present moment in which we are living.

The goal here is not to be silent and have no thoughts at all, but rather to observe your thoughts in a nonjudgmental way and

face them, says Jessica White about her certification in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR).

With tens of thousands of thoughts running through our minds on a daily basis it is important to take note that mindfulness goes unnoticed.

I N S P I R AT I O N S White explains that coming to a university is what had pushed her to find a balance in life. She started out using apps on her iPhone and was not sure what she was trying to gain at first. One of the major turning points to this was when she realized that she needed to work

and focus on her emotional intelligence (EQ) rather then just focusing everything on her IQ as most students get carried away in doing. She compared her observations of her progress just like someone would after progress in the gym.

Nadia Cutter, an iYOGA instructor in Lake Tapps, says that yoga helped her immensely by being able to stay patient, energized and confident about herself when she had kids. She started yoga because she couldn’t find a workout she enjoyed and really wanted.

Harry says her mother would meditate when she was young and would tell her about how it helps a lot with staying focused and reducing stress and anxiety.

This became really important to Harry when she was in high school facing a lot of external pressures. Meditating helps reduce her stress and de-clutter her mind.

YOGA “Popular yoga, whether it be ashtanga, hatha, fusion or power, all have poses that help balance the nervous system and release the adrenal glands, stimulate the digestive system and more,” says White.

Ashtanga yoga is described as a highly structured and has a series of standing poses and with a set of inversions and seated poses and all link together.

‘Hatha’ means ‘force’ and in this style of yoga, the postures and breathing techniques are practiced more slowly and with a more static posture than ashtanga.

Fusion yoga is a type of yoga that blends yoga poses with other fitness routines; power is similar and focuses on weight loss, building lean muscles and is typically more intense.

Yoga can be a great tool for young adults to fall on, especially when times become tough because it can get rid of or slow down anxiety and stress.

Yoga and meditation “creates a flood of serotonin and mental contentment to keep depressive tendencies [and] thoughts under control without medications that have ill side effects” says Cutter.

H OW YO U CA N G E T S TA R T E D Everyone has their own preference of when to get started or how often to practice yoga and meditation. With daily practices of meditation you will see the most results, but it is up to you and what you want to do.

A good way to get started is through an app called “Breathe”.

I recently started doing short two-minute sleep mediations before bed and saw a significant change in my sleep patterns.

Before hand I had been experiencing nightmares and restless sleep, but once I started meditating I noticed my bad dreams were gone and I was able to sleep throughout the night.

Allowing myself to face my thoughts and live in the present moment was eye opening.

Whether you take two-minutes or an hour out of your day, figure out something that works best for you and see the results!

BENEFIT: Yoga is inspiring and empowering. As you get to know your body and soul, you can apply that knowedge to the way you go about your life.

The Pacific Northwest is known to have some of the best scenery and memorable landmarks, but it can be difficult to reach them all. Here are some tips and tricks for the perfect road trip through the PNW, starting in Seattle and ending up in Northern California.

PNW ROAD TRIP Story by Clayton Huber // Photos by Zahn Schultz // Design & Illustration by Isabelle Grotting

1. Seattle Like many Seattleites know, Pike Place Market is one of the best stops to make downtown.

You can get food, watch the fishermen toss fish across the room and look at all the local vendors that sell their produce. “Pike Place is always a really cool place to go. I have been to the market dozens of times and still see something new every time I am there,” says CWU Senior Marie Williams.

As someone who goes to Seattle frequently to explore, your next option could be a variety of different places. You could go to Alki Beach and grab a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants looking out at the water. You could also take a trip to Discovery Park which is the oldest and

largest park in Seattle.

Fun fact: According to a 2008 feature in Hi s t or y L i n k . org , Discovery Park was originally built because military planners considered defense of the area a high priority. It wasn’t until 1898 that the Chamber of Commerce turned over the area to the U.S. Army, which immediately went to work adding roads and civilization for the soldiers to live in. Shorty after, artillery guns were installed alongside the cliffs and on the beach. During the Korean War over 10,000 soldiers were stationed there as it was used as a embarkation and debarkation station. Soldiers would maintain ready to go to Korea at any time.

“The history behind this park is enough reasoning to go check it out. It also has a great view from the cliffs,” Williams says.

So, you have seen downtown Seattle, you walked through the market and you saw some historic beaches. One last thing you need to do before you either head to your hotel or continue driving is visit Kerry Park. It is the iconic park that allows you to have a view of the entire Seattle skyline. Little tip: you will definitely want to bring your camera, especially if it is dark and you can see the city lit up.

2. Portland So that is it for Seattle; now it’s time to head down to Portland, Ore. Most people usually stop at Voodoo Doughnut immediately, as it is a national treasure to many. If you don’t know, Voodoo Doughnut is an iconic donut shop that makes out-ofthe-box donuts such as their signature Voodoo Doll (which is shaped, of course, like a voodoo doll) or the Old Dirty Bastard, which is covered in chocolate frosting, crushed Oreos and peanut butter.

Sticking with food, Portland is known to have some of the best food trucks around. Food can range all across the spectrum

as you usually see a couple food trucks every block. Then inside the city next to all the big shopping centers is a line of trucks that can even stretch five blocks.

3. Manzanita Another spot to spend a couple days in is Manzanita, Ore. It is a small town right on the beach and, to many, just kind of feels like home. There are plenty of Mom and Pop shops including restaurants, boutiques and art galleries that show the history of Manzanita, and if you are looking for adventure, Manzanita has dozens of hikes surrounding the town that allow you to get a killer view of the ocean.

“ We love all the food out here. Growing up in Seattle and moving down here I thought I was going to be missing out but I think Portland might take the cake on having the best food and the most options ,” says University of Portland student Scottie Cohen.

Also, for all you seafood lovers, you can rent all the gear necessar y to catch crab and fish out in the ocean or go out to eat at one of the seafood restaurants that catch and cook everything fresh.

“Manzanita kind of w have beautiful hikes surrounded by evergreens, and a California-style beach with soft sand and great seafood,” says a representative from the Manzanita Visitors Center.

24

SUMMER 2018

4. Redwood National Forest Heading down south towards California, you run into the Redwood National Forest which is home to the tallest trees in the world. Redwoods can average a height of over 300 feet tall, which makes you feel very small while standing in the forest. If you don’t want to stop, you still get to experience the majestic forest as you pass by.

5. Lake Tahoe Last stop on this trip for us is Lake Tahoe; if you enjoy the outdoors then Lake Tahoe is the place for you. There are countless adventures to be had in this area, whether it be hiking to the top of a mountain to get a view of the entire lake or hanging out at one of the many beach clubs surrounding the lake. Tahoe is for people who love the outdoors and want a relaxing trip.

Tahoe is also home to dozens of beautiful golf courses including Squaw Valley, which is the village of the 1960 Winter Olympics.

The course is right on the base of the mountain where the Olym-

pians competed. Now, it is a golf course in the spring and summer and a ski resort and lodge in the winter. Another golf course out there is Edgewood Golf Course which hosts the Celebrity Golf Championship every year and is what you see all over the internet.

Golden State Warriors Point Guard Stephen Curry was pictured jumping into the lake after he lost a bet to his father Dell Curry as fans have their boats parked all along the beach watching the incident.

Since the Pacific Northwest is known for its beautiful nature, it’s time you went out and truly explored what this area has to offer. Be sure to take lots of pictures to make your friends jealous--or just bring them along for the ride.

Food Allergies How to Avoid Your Epi-Pen When Eating Out

Story by Aly Schwab // Design by Amanda Smith

I

magine this with me if you will: It’s the weekend and your best friend is coming to visit you. You are super excited but when you read their most recent message, your excitement suddenly drops.

“Can’t wait to see you!

I’m super hungry, let’s get dinner!”

Dread fills you as you realize you have no idea what restaurants in town will cater to both your vegetarian friend’s and your own dietary needs.

Quickly, you search for vegetarian restaurants and with great relief you get one hit, the Lunchbox.

Hooray for our heroine and her friend… this time.

That heroine was me, a year and a half ago. I was moving and my friend was coming to help me settle into life in the ‘Burg. Of course, I had already found Subway, but salads were quickly getting old and I hadn’t had the time to search the town for ‘Aly Approved’ restaurants.

My allergies and intolerances make finding places to eat downright uncomfortable. Whenever I go into a new restaurant, I have to ask probing questions to people who I know don’t know the answer and now have to go find the answer. I halt the flow

28

SUMMER 2018

of an entire restaurant so that the Chef can go find the ingredients list and look to make sure that if I choose the entrée, I won’t get sick and/or go into anaphylactic shock.

About three years ago, I got told that I had an allergy list the length of a paragraph. My allergies have now limited my food choices to all vegetables but soybeans (including root and gourds), all grains but wheat and all meat (mammal and fowl). I can eat three out of the five food groups and even some of those three are limited. After collecting myself from off the doctor’s floor, I realized had to figure out a way to eat a balanced diet.

I decided to become my own food superhero and began doing research. I took to the streets and started scoping out menus for entrées I could eat.

During my travels down the aisles of the supermarket, sitting on seats of the restaurants and walking the streets of the farmer’s market, I would talk to people.

In the beginning, I’d ask questions looking for any kernel of knowledge anyone had to offer me.

I was the hunter/gather and approved restaurants were my prey, but more to the point, people would relate to me and offer their food lifestyle (vegetarian, vegan, etc.) allergies, intolerances and sensitivities stories. I was shocked. The number of people who have similar food-related concerns was staggering to me. I knew—I had a date with research.

So, I went home, got into my comfy clothes grabbed myself a glass of wine and a healthy snack and settled in for a night of research. Let me tell you, it was a hot date!

The CDC told me that allergies do not discriminate and as equal opportunists, everyone is at risk. At least 4 to 6 percent of children in the U.S. have food allergies, it said, and allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S. Even more, over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies every year.

I didn’t know what that really meant because I didn’t feel like I had enough data. After some more research, I found that according to the United States Census Bureau World Bank, there are 325.7 million people in the U.S.—meaning over one-sixth of America suffers from allergies each year.

As a stay-at-home and work-at-home mother, Arcelia Kent, owner and founder of Eburg Veg, felt the need to be her own advocate for healthy food choices. She discovered that her coming to interview restaurants around town was possibly motivating some change.

“The restaurants that are letting me come in and interview are actually so open to changing their menu. So, once I go and talk to them, then they’re adding options,” Kent says. “When I was emailing the Yellow Church [Café], [the owner] made a separate vegan menu. So, they now have a page where you ask for it and it’s a vegan menu. He was so good about it. He said, ‘You come in and you ask the questions and we can help you,’ but after talking to me, he decided to make it his own menu.”

The moral of the story is to know what to say or ask, as Kent’s story shows. But there are so many questions—I know, I asked them.

Tips for Asking Questions When to ask:

Who to ask:

Before you enter the restaurant, some will have their menus posted up on the window or in a framed case. Take a look at it because it will tell you a lot but not always everything.

When you are being seated is a good time to ask for allergies. Often restaurants will have gluten-free menus. Ellensburg Pasta Co. has a dairy-free section!

Hosts and servers! Most of them are more than willing to help you out. It might be daunting at first but you’ll get use to it.

What to ask: When I first started asking the questions, I was so nervous I didn’t know how to ask. I was fortunate to have a good friend there to help me.

For the gluten-free menu, just ask the host for a gluten-free menu.

When you have food concerns, Jaramillo suggests, “As customers, [you need to] have patience and understanding. Be as specific as you can. Have the knowledge of where you are going to get your needs met. It’s probably impossible to cater to every dietary restriction. So, if you have a dietary restriction it is important for you to seek out those restaurants where they make your specific one a priority.”

So, to summarize, you start with asking the host and/or server about their accommodations, you are then transparent with your specific needs, and remember to be patient and understanding.

Now, sometimes, I know it can be hard to be understanding. I’ve been there, so I asked every person I interviewed this specific question: “What are the toughest obstacles restaurants will have accommodating these growing dietary restrictions?”

30

SUMMER 2018

Jaramillo and Kent both agreed that turnover rate and limited food suppliers to the area were the biggest obstacles but for one restaurant in town, that doesn’t seem to be the problem.

The Lunchbox, owned by Margo Cordner, has a little something for everyone. This quaint restaurant caters to vegans, vegetarians, restricted diets and carnivores alike. Cordner says, “I care deeply that all my customers have a great experience at the Lunchbox no matter what they eat… We really try to find something for everyone to eat here no matter what your special dietary needs may be. We do a lot of customization.”

It might be possible to say that, in my opinion, the Lunchbox has the most diverse and inclusive menu for those who need or prefer a plant-based diet. With that in mind, heres a list of the top accomodating restarants in the Burg’.

FORTNITE Story by Isabelle Hautefeuille // Design & Illustration by Ryan Edwards

Fortnite has been released for a year now and it’s gotten players and non-players alike talking.

In February, the girlfriend of a player—who chose to be anonymous—launched a petition on Change. org to ban Fortnite because the game was harming their relationship. This petition, which was later revealed to be a joke, brought together more than 4,000 signatures of plaintiffs accusing Fortnite of being too addictive.

The petition’s organizer decided to keep the petition going due to real complaints she heard about the game seemingly being “a rising issue within families because everyone has been so addicted to it,” she said in an update on the petition’s page. This petition is just one of many calling for a ban of Fortnite.

The question remains then: How did this game, which seemed to appear out of nowhere, win over such a massive amount of gamers?

Popularity in Simplicity

Fortnite Battle Royal was released on Sept. 26, 2017 by Epic Games. In it, as many as 100 players attempt to be the last player alive. Killing all the others, they have to stay inside the safe zone protecting them from a toxic cloud that causes lethal damage. It is a pretty simple game, a characteristic that helped the successful rise of the game.

Because of its simplicity, the game can perform in many different ways, having no real rules. “Every game is different, so you don’t know what is going to happen. With this game, you can land wherever you want; there is variety to it,” says Juan Deras, winner of a CWU tournament held in May. Another aspect involves going head-to-head with skilled players which forces you to either progress or die in the game. “I Iike the competitive aspect of it; you can go up against very good players,” says Eric Serna, another winner of the CWU tournament.

34

SUMMER 2018

But it’s not only the type of game that makes it simple—it’s also the design of the game. Rather than trying to create a game which would imitate the real world as much as possible, the producers chose drawings that look more like comics. This can make the game more accessible for both players and novices. “The cartoonish graphic, compared to the super realistic simulation-style game, is easier to play,” says CWU Lecturer of Psychology Dr. Joshua Buchanan.

To create more of a sense of dependency to the game, producers also included the system of rewards which already exist in many video games.

“People are playing the game, but they are also playing to get the new costume or the new skin or the new weapon,” explains Dr. Buchanan. “It makes people want to come back and play more.”

A Clear Sky for eGames’ Future

Fortnite is just one of the video games that are helping the eGames community to grow up. Ashland University in Ohio is even offering a scholarship of up to $4000 to players who meet both academic and competitive requirements and want to play on the game’s varsity team, according to an April 2018 article in Forbes.

Though CWU does not offer this type of scholarship, the Recreation Center is on its way to developing eGames on campus by holding a Fortnite tournament every two weeks, which will be free for all students and serves to open people’s minds to video games.

“It’s important to realize that recreation is not just going out and being active. There are many aspects to recreation and this is just one extra way that we want bring people into the [it],” says Sophomore Sports Business Major Conner Parmenter, who organized the CWU Fortnite tournament. “We are trying to open up a different realm that others may not see as sports.”

CWU, like other schools, feels the need to adapt to these major changes.

“It is the way society is going as technology is advancing. Being involved in eSports is as important as being involved in playing football or basketball. It’s a different mental aspect,”says Parmenter.

The future of Fortnite is uncertain due to the ever-changing world of gaming, the future of eGames is looking much brighter.

It seems eGames have been gaining more attention from a mainstream audience, thanks in part to big names like Drake, who played Fortnite with gamer Ninja earlier this year. Ninja documented the match on his YouTube channel over multiple videos, each of which now has anywhere between five million and 10 million views. “eGames have gained a lot more attention, especially with artists like Drake collaborating with these eGames … and getting those people that aren’t too familiar with eGames but giving them the exposure to it,” says Andrew, referring to an incident earlier this year in which Drake played Fortnite with gamer Ninja, who documented the match on his YouTube channel.

Social vs. Anti-Social

Many Fortnite players claim the game doesn’t negatively affect their social life. On the contrary, it contributes to it by creating an opportunity to talk to people across the world while playing. Even more, Fortnite is a way for real-life friends to come together and compete against one another.

It is a circle—people are playing to be with their friends, and the more popular the game becomes, the more enjoyable it becomes and the more people want to play.

Some people came to the CWU tournament with a friend, to play as a duo. “I thought it [was] something that we can do as a fun activity, something we get off school work,” explains Serna who played with Deras.

As many have seen in this age of social media, the internet isn’t always a hub for kind interactions.

People can sometimes be insulting each other or spreading negativity online. However, for some individuals, gaming is a place for gaining confidence.

“There are situations in which people who are not very comfortable with themselves in social situations can go online and play video games and actually get that social interaction that they can’t get in real life,” explains Dr. Buchanan.

A Rise in eSports

With the success of Twitch, the livestreaming platform on which people are able to watch others play video games, it seems that eSports—games played by professional players—are about to become mainstream.

But for a total opening to a broader public, Dr. Buchanan considers the problems lying in the specificity of eGames. “For people who know and play video games, eSports can be interesting, but if it wants to attract a wider audience, it has to be similar to how actual sports are presented,” explains Dr. Buchanan.

According to him, to popularize eSports, the game should be on one screen to simplify the viewing. “The best analogy I can think of is fighting games where everything is happening on one screen, it’s very easy to tell what’s going on,” says Dr. Buchanan.

For now, the most popular eSports are games where the camera is moving all the time and in which it is not possible to see everything that’s going on at once. This type of game occurring in a big arena could be an obstacle to the expansion of eSports which could stay for a long time still on the edge of the mainstream society.

So whether you’re an avid gamer, a Fortnite pro or a signature on one of the many petition calling to ban the game, it’s looking like Fortnite and other games like it are here to stay for a while—are

you going to battle in the game or against it?

SUMMER 2018

It’s Summer—which by a college student’s

definition might mean feeling like you finally have your life together. You’ve developed the full routine: gym, tan, laundry, kickbacks and, for some, a visit to your hometown church on Sundays. Ah yes, the pure bliss that is being homework- and stress-free for a few months.

But have you ever considered what makes this routine work so well? For many, it’s music. Music can help us get through many things—and there’s often a certain genre for each task.

Working out? Hip-Hop. Sunday morning church? Gospel.

Chores? Banda.

In your feelings? Drake.

Thistle White

Ignatius Medani, also known as Thistle White, is a student at CWU. He records hip-hop/rap and was first introduced to this craft by a family friend back in high school. Now a senior, he hopes to pursue music a little more passionately and really look to it in times he feels the need to express his thoughts more articulately.

“Hip-hop/rap is very versatile. You look for it when you’re out partying with friends or when you’re alone and trying to navigate your own life struggles,” he says.

Thinking even a little more deeply, what does this music mean to whoever wrote it and what did they want us, as listeners, to get out of it? PULSE spoke to three Washington-based artists to figure out how different music influences the mood of their own art and how it relates to their culture.

“I started music because I learned the impact it can have on people”

David Ramos

Holly Starr

Holly Starr, a Christian music artist, began her journey in at her church in Quincy, Wash. when her pastor asked her to help sing for the church band. It wasn’t until junior high, though, that Starr decided to begin writing her own music. She would play at school assemblies, church and even got to play at her own high school graduation ceremony.

Fast forward to now, she finds herself at summer music festivals country-wide playing for small and large crowds alike.

“Music is a tool. I started music because I learned the impact it can have on people,” says Starr.

“A joy and hope I can share—which is my faith; music gives me bravery to help others through my lyrics. Music is a language that everyone can relate to.” Whether it be a broken heart, a feeling of lost hope or the complete opposite, music can serve as a tool to connect us in a way words simply cannot.

SUMMER 2018

David Ramos, lead singer and guitarist for David Ramos Y Sus Primos, began his journey at a very young age. He was only two years old when he was photographed with his first guitar. Sure, this one had buttons instead of strings, but still.

In his early guitar-playing days, though, he was more into rock music and it wasn’t until college that he re-discovered his passion for music through Nortenas, Campirano and Mariachi music. He now writes his own music, and even formed a band with his cousins and family friends.

According to Ramos, the perfect setting for his music would be “family and friends at a kickback, drinking a cold one, [singing] along to the music and just hanging out.”

Life Experience

There is one thing each artist can agree on: their music comes from a real place. They make music based off personal experiences and do it as a form a therapy, in hopes that it may help someone going through similar problems.

Next time you find yourself humming a tune or driving at night to clear your head, jamming to your favorite playlist while running or praising at your Sunday morning service—try and pay attention to the words in the music. It could quite possibly change you for the better.

he feels the vibration from the bass run through her body, the hot sun glistening on her face, her pulse increasing to the tempo of the music consuming her entire existence as she enters the doors to the gate of her first EDM festival—Paradiso 2017.

SUMMER 2018

Some people walking into this festival call it just a rave, while others consider this and any other rave ‘home.’

“The best thing about raves is that they make you feel at home and everyone there is so welcoming. I have never felt out of place at a show, which isn’t something I can say about any other place I’ve been in,” says Carson Parfitt, an event management major at CWU.

Raves are seen by many as a safe place in which people are able to fully express themselves, whether that be with what they wear, the kandi they make, how they interact with one another or the way they dance to their favorite artists. Raving is something that started out as underground, but is now becoming more mainstream day by day.

Whether you are already a part of the community or have an interest in the experience, here are some tips and tricks, as well as information about a hobby many are raving about.

GETTING READY ONE

Your pre-rave routine is almost essential to having a good time at a show or a festival. It’s important to eat a well-balanced meal and hydrate immensely before you dance the night away. Some people like to do yoga and stretch out their bodies beforehand as well.

During this time people also get ready in their extravagant outfits and help each other make additions by adding jewels or glitter.

A lot of people participate in pre-gaming and like to get a couple drinks in them to take the edge off and hype themselves up by dancing, playing music and talking about previous shows attended—just be sure not to go too hard.

FREAKNIGHT FESTIVAL WAMU October

If you aren’t familiar, people trade kandi at raves and festivals. These are beaded bracelets which typically pony beads that read out positive words or phrases.

P.L.U.R. is an acronym for peace, love, unity and respect and is a concept meant to promote a positive escape for everyone throughout the night.

The concept of P.L.U.R. has made a huge impact on ravers around the world and is something that will stay the same no matter the time or destination.

The rave community has made an impact on Adam Pardo, a photographer in the Renton, Wash. area, who describes P.L.U.R. as an ingenious way to bring a group that large together and give them the ability to have each others backs and look out for one another. Raves, to him, are seen as a mini-vacation and escape from reality.

“I feel like raving and getting to know what P.L.U.R. means really changed me as a person for the better, and I’m so happy about that,” says Jazmyne Dogget, a CWU law and justice major. “I’ve made so many more friends through P.L.U.R. and I really wish that everyone in the world could understand how great it is.”

THREE FESTIVAL ATTIRE People’s choice in rave outfits go hand in hand with their personality and what they want to express within themselves. Some people wear just a t-shirt and shorts and, on the other end of the spectrum, some people dress up in dinosaur costumes or outfits decked out in glitter and holographic. You can do and wear pretty much whatever you want.

42

SUMMER 2018

FOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS

Each raver has their own favorite EDM artist.

Parfitt’s favorite artists include big names such as Louis the Child, Excision, 4b and Illenium. She says she feels a really strong connection with these artists and says listening to them is like hearing from an old friend again—she loves how comforting and happy she feels.

Dogget’s all time favorite artist is Odesza and Ganga White Night. She also really enjoys Getter for not only his talent, but his personality as well. She says she loves how this music makes her feel happy and is super easy to dance to.

The EDM community is notorious for getting to know artists more on a personal level and is quick to drop someone if they are deemed a bad person or have done bad things that go against the lifestyle of P.L.U.R.

Have a good time and explore!

There are so many more cool things going on at festivals than just the artists who are performing

Buy and wear a fanny pack (most events require clear) to hold your phone, ID, cash and other necessities.

Hydrate and eat and good meal before the show. Your body will thank you since you are going to be dancing the night away for about six to 12 hours.

TIPS & TRICKS

Get to the show early to avoid long lines and bring sweats or sweatshirts in the wintertime while waiting in line. You can split and buy a locker for cheap with your friends so you don’t have to hold these items inside.

Don’t touch someone without asking, no matter what they are or are not wearing.

Wear comfortable shoes, like tennis shoes, to support your feet and back all night.

If you see someone who needs help, get help. Security, police and volunteers are there to make sure you are safe, not to get you in trouble. There are also chill zones for people who need to step away from the crowd and calm down if they get overwhelmed.

Seattle native, Jake Crocker, is rising up in the music scene after performing a set at Paradiso and looks forward to performing at other popular festivals like Capital Block Party and Bumpershoot. Just having dropped a new single, Crocker is making a name for himself in the music industry by keeping true to his morals and values, but he is doing more than just making music.

SUMMER 2018

1 How did you get Started in EDM?

The past year and a half or so I just started getting into EDM. I started producing hip hop when I was 14, I producing for a bunch of artists in Seattle. Like Sam Lacau, Ryan Carvaeo, then I moved onto pop music.

2 Thoughts on transitioning to going solo?

I wanted to break out of the box even more and make something for myself.

3 Did popularity come quick or was it a process?

I’ve been known as that kid who makes beats since I was 14 years old. It caught people off guard when I started putting pout my own shit, like what is he gonna do without a rapper.

I know a lot of people in the Seattle area, and being known in the city has changed a lil bit because I’m doing something a bit different, but it’s still me.

4 What is your favorite thing about shows like paradiso?

I went on tour when I was 18 and it was crazy, it was an amazing experience and was able to gain a lot from the industry. My first show was at the Croc in Seattle, waaaay at the back there were like 14 people on the floor and I got a feeling I had never felt before playing with anybody else.

5 What do you preach, or some words to remember

Its important to be selfish at times to turn that around and give back when you have the means. It was my time to do something for myself.

6 Inspirations?

Everything, I like being involved in creativity. I teach middle and high schoolers music production, an that right there is really inspiring, they come in not knowing how to make anything and they leave being able to create what they’re thinking. To see others come to a place like DISO, who have continued to follow there dreams and be happy is inspiring. I listen to a lot of medicine, a lot of local people, tinsley, I love building artists.

7 Long term goals?

Whatever you do be happy. My dad said I don’t care if you wanna be a professional butterfly catcher, as long as that makes you happy. Being happy meant creating. I have dreams of making an impact on the industry but doing it my way and seeing if its what the industry needs right now. I wanna teach kids how to make music all across the world.

8 Favorite movie?

Stand by me. One of the most nostalgic movies for me of all time.
