4 Pokemon Go Tips

"Got to catch em all" -- indeed you do. Unlike most games, Pokémon Go is revolutionizing the functionalities of the video game world. Yes! Instead of sitting on their ass all day, gamers are now walking, biking and even running more than 10 km a day just to hatch an egg. If you are a newcomer to the Pokémon Go world or are just looking for few tips to level up faster, here are four facts that may give you a hand.

1. Nearby

Most of you have probably wonder what this white tab was used for. Well consider it one of your best friends; this tab identifies Pokémon that are near you and their proximity to you. The fewer steps the Pokémon has the closer you are to it and when there are no steps, you are bound to encounter it.

2. Leveling up -- made easy.

Leveling up shouldn’t give you a headache. It should be easy, enjoyable and fast. In case some of you aren’t familiar with a Lucky Egg, it is an item that doubles your XP. Now the best way I found to maximize its use is by catching as many Rattata and Pidgey as you can. I don’t this would be a problem for most you since they are virtually everywhere. Once you catch more than 15 of each, that should give you about 45 candies for each Pokémon. Activate your Lucky Egg and start evolving your Pokémon, this should give you more than enough XP to level up.

3. Efficient evolution.

Unlike my previous point, don’t just start evolving all your other Pokémon. I would strongly suggest to holding up until you find a high Combat Power Pokémon. Store up most you Stardust and when you are ready start using it on the Pokémon you are thinking of evolving. After you are done click on the evolve button. This should maximize the level in which your Pokémon will evolve to.

4. Go to your nearest park.

The best aspect of Pokémon is the interaction it provides with between the user and the environment. Parks are the best way to catch the most Pokémon. The spawn time of each Pokémon is quicker. The more Parks you visit the better because each park partly holds a diverse group of Pokémon. For example, my nearest park is flooded with Lickitung but I have failed to find it anywhere else.

One last thing before I go. Be aware of your surroundings when playing this game. You don't want to get robbed or run over for a Pikachu.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
