My Extremely Limited Knowledge of Pokemon

11 Poke-facts From Someone Who Hasn't Really Seen Pokemon

I'm one of those people who haven't really gotten into anime until college, but can talk about it because in high school, they've seen a few animes like Ouran High School Host Club, Attack on Titan, and Death Note. I watched a few episodes of Pokémon in elementary and middle school, but didn't really understand it because of lingering chemo fog. Now it's something I binge watch on breaks. So, without further ado, here is my limited knowledge of Pokémon based on the few episodes I've seen and what I've heard from friends.

1. Pikachu

So, there's this lightning mouse named Pikachu, and he was a wild Pokémon, and in the first few episodes of Indigo League, he wouldn't get in the damn Pokeball! They also found this girl named Dawn, who was mean to Ash, but wanted to be his friend at the same time? Then, she told him that if he wants his Pokémon to be stronger, they would have to use this mill thing to electrocute Pikachu, and literally ten seconds into it, she said, "Hey this might kill him", and they just kept going. When used in battle, sometimes he electrocutes the Pokémon masters? Owners?

2. Pokémon Types

Okay, so there are multiple types of Pokemon (for example, the penguin one, called Piplup, is a water Pokemon) and different types are compatible with one another for battle.

3. Brock

Brock is a Pokémon trainer that also takes care of his 20 little siblings at an orphanage. Then in the same episode, three minutes later, his estranged father shows up, and he's like, "hey, someone to take care of my little siblings while I go off into the woods with this stranger I just met. See ya!"

4. Phanpy

THIS one resembles an elephant.

5. Snorlax

THAT one sleeps like Totoro!

6. Cubone

This one wears the skull of its dead mother.

7. Togepi!!

This is a healing Pokémon that helps Nurse Joy.

8. Weeeeee!!!!

I guess that's what it looks like when they battle.

9. I Vaguely Know What A Jigglypuff Is

He looks like Kirby!

10. Ash

This kid leaves his house Kiki's Delivery Service style, and his mom's like "okay", and he's perpetually ten years old.

11. THIS THEME SONG!!!!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
