How You Know You're Addicted To Pokémon Go, As Told By The Office

Here are 10 ways to know that you are in way too deep with Pokémon Go, as told by The Office.

1. Your friends ask you to come hang out, but you say you’re sick so you can go catch Pokémon instead.

Turns out, you're not very good at coming up with plausible excuses.


2. You spend excessive amounts of actual money on Pokéballs.

Yes, spending real life money on imaginary items is totally sane, mom.


3. You get unnecessarily angry when a Pokémon runs away.

Nah, Abra, really, it's fine. I'll just waste all of my pokeballs on you just so you can run away.


4. You end a friendship because the other person is on Team Mystic.

Yeah, I said it.


5. You stay out at public parks, catching Pokémon, until ungodly hours of the morning even though you have to be up early.


It’s 4 am?! It was 5 pm like two minutes ago.


6. As a passenger in a vehicle, you yell at the driver to slow down so you can get Pokéballs from a Pokéstop.

FYI, you can't drive 15 MPH on the highway.


7. You have 70 pidgeys.


So. Many. Pidgeys.

8. You get upset when your lure attracts more people than it does Pokémon.

It's only okay when I mooch off of lures. Geez.


9. You’ve been stopped by the police for being out late at night catching Pokémon.

"I'm actually not smoking weed, believe it or not, officer."


10. Since Pokémon Go came out, you’ve barely payed attention to anything else.

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.
