With the release of Pokémon Go, the world has been swept up in a frenzy. People are constantly on the quest to become the very best! This game has revolutionized laziness and encouraged togetherness. Yes, it's a fantastic game. So without further ado, here are 15 things almost every Pokémon Go player experiences and understands!

1. When you open the app thinking to yourself, "I will catch something great today! I will become the very best!" But, everything near you are Pidgeys and Rattatas.

2. The exciting feeling of an egg hatching only to be followed by disappointment as you discover that it's just a Weedle (or all the other super common ones).

3. When there is a .5K distant left on an egg, so you pace back and forth in your house/neighborhood to stimulate walking.

4. Feeling extremely proud to have taken over a gym only to realize 10 seconds later that another team has taken it over.




5. When there is a rare Pokémon outside, but you have strict parents and the tracker is broken! FIX THE TRACKER NIANTIC! (AN AERODACTYL ESCAPED FROM ME, NOT OK!)

6. When you're driving and your phone vibrates and you see there is a rare Pokémon nearby, but you can't stop without creating a giant collision. (BTW do not catch and drive).

7. The joy a trainer feels when they've finally evolved the Pokémon they've waited for so long! (i.e Dragonite, Gyrados).

8. The sacred bond one feels when they see someone else playing followed by rivalry upon finding out that they are on a different team.

9. Saving up evolution until you receive a lucky egg and evolving them all to level up.

10. Evolving a trillion Pidgeys.

11. Calculating your XP every second to see how many more you have left until you level up.

12. The awesome feeling of leveling up and expecting something awesome as a reward followed by disappointment at the rewards.

13. Walking around just to hatch that 10k/5k/2k egg.

14. When you throw a pokéball as straight as you can, but it always transforms into a curveball (so you waste a trillion pokéballs).

15. When a weak Pokémon still manages to escape from you!

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.
