25 Signs You're Addicted To Pokémon Go
Pokemon Go

Though Pokémon Go was released less than a month ago, people are already losing their minds over the game. To the point, in fact, that users were already making news within the first few days.

The game is doing incredibly well. Since releasing on July 7, Pokémon Go has already been downloaded more than Tinder and is becoming an international phenomenon. Yes, Pokémon Go has taken over. The only questions are: do you play and, if so, how addicted are you? Let's find out.

1. You are no longer excited to find Rattatas and Pidgeys. In fact, they're just the worst.

2. You get weirdly excited when an unknown shadow shows up in your "nearby" display.

3. You've been given strange looks for playing Pokémon Go in a public place.

4. You did not care.

5. You feel personally victimized whenever the servers are experiencing issues.

6. You've actually done research on the game and Googled Pokémon Go tips and tricks.

7. Speaking of which, you've probably tried the possible Eevee evolution hack.

8. If you didn't already know it, you just followed that link because you had to find out.

9. Pokémon Go has motivated you to go outside and exercise.

10. You've gone from 100 percent battery to a dead phone from Pokémon Go alone.

11. You've ran out of Poké balls and maybe even considered paying actual money to buy Poké coins to get more because $0.99 is a deal.

12. You paid $4.99.

13. You paid $9.99.

14. You actually paid $99.99 of your own real money, completely sober.

15. You have visited a church with the intent of finding a Pokestop or gym.

16. The game has made you visit places you would have never been without it.

17. You've trespassed.

18. Maybe even found a dead body?

19. You've tweeted or made a Facebook post about Pokémon Go.

20. Extra points if you uploaded your own picture with a super funny mediocre caption that included #pokemongo.

21. Even more points if that post involved your team.

22. You've actually gotten into a heated discussion about why your team is the best.

23. You have bonded with someone purely due to the game.

23. It has affected your relationship or friendship(s) in a negative way.

24. You've quit your job to become a full time Pokémon Go player. (Yes, that's a thing.)

25. You took time out of your life to write an online article about it.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
