"Pokémon Go" is the new craze taking over peoples lives. Here some signs it might being doing the same to you; and if you haven't started playing Pokémon Go yet, I suggest you do so soon.

1. When you go to hard.

I mean when theres a Pikachu on the line you gotta do what you gotta do!


2. You walk into the most random places.

Well theres a Pokémon in that persons house and I really shouldn't go in there but...

3. You drive around with your phone out the window trying to catch them all!

But seriously don't play Pokémon Go while you are driving! but if you are in the passenger seat catch the ALL!

4. You run around like a crazy person from place to place!

Well I'm sitting at dinner and there is defiantly a Pokémon across the street... I'm sure they won't notice if I just slip out really quick.

5. You scream at your phone when you can’t catch the Pokémon!

Yep people are defiantly going to question your sanity, but everyones doing it so it's basically a new social norm.

6. When you can tell who the other "Pokémon Go" trainers are.

When you see them you then continue to scream across the street.. "Any over there" or "Pokémon Go?"

7. You delete everything, even Facebook, to make room for the App.

Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to be the best Trainer out there, yes even twitter and Instagram might have to go as well.

8. You yell at your friends to slow down because you are trying to catch a Pokémon.

The app should really come with Warning: friends beware of other friends constantly stopping to catch a Pokémon! If they are your real friend they will be playing it as well, because everyone is doing it.

9. When you get the notification the Pokémon is down the creepy alley.

Don't go anywhere by yourself, use the buddy system when playing....unless its a Gym then you take down your all of your friends! Team BLUE or RED?!? Definitely not team Yellow.

10. When you end up in jail because you just wanted to catch them all.

Well I hope not! Lets just hope the only thing being caught is the Pokémon, and taking over gyms!

Now, Pokémon Go is a super fun game, but make sure you are playing smart and safe! Always pay attention and don't do anything stupid :)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
