GIFs To Explain The Pokemon Go! Experience

I believe by this point, just about anyone will admit to have already downloaded the popular app Pokémon Go! on their cell phone. Whether it was just to check it out, or to make it a possible part-time job, millions have given in to this overnight phenomenon. As someone who was never in to Pokémon as a child, I can guarantee you that interest in the TV show or brand is beside the point here. It does not matter if you are 72 or 5 years old, this game is a gold mine. It is one of the few video games that gets kids active and outside, even if it requires consistently staring at their iPhones. However, no one can deny the pure genius, yet simple idea, that went into making this game. It's the kind of invention that makes you wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?"

If you want to lie and tell me that you haven't downloaded the game yet, here are just a few GIFs to describe the experience of Pokémon Go!. For all you amateurs out there, what are you waiting for?

First, you download the app and you're just excited to see what all the hype is about.


Then you realize that this is actually the coolest game since Santa gave you a Wii.


You walk around and catch your very first Pokemon. You're just in awe.

"I didn't know I had it in me!"


So you keep catching more.

You get a little into it.


Occasionally, one gets away from you


But it's okay, because you're basically swinging balls left and right like you're a freaking Pokemaster.


So then you decide to do the impossible: drive and Pokemon

"I can handle it."

Then you think about the consequences and realize it's probably not the best idea.


So you decide to go for a joy ride instead and just enjoy the view. Roll your windows down. Let in some fresh air.


You see one person on their cell phone and you think, "I know exactly what you're playing."


So then you drive downtown, only to watch the whole freaking city on their cell phones playing Pokemon!


They aren't even paying attention to where they're going.

Do they even realize there is a giant pothole there?


You actually see one person run into a bicycler.


However, it does make you think about your friends and how much fun it would be to play with them right now.


So, you call up your pals and it's an instant Pokemon Party. You guys are in it to win it.

Pokemon and friends. You're basically living the dream.


Suddenly, you and your friends are getting close. You can sense a Pokemon coming on


But you catch it, so it's all good.


After a while you catch a new one that your friend has never seen before.


But then your friend does the same thing and it's just like an automatic enemy.


I mean, you're the one who's basically the Pokemon messiah right? You run like lightening.


And you dodge pedestrians and poles like it's nothing.


You even get a little fancy at times.

Okay, never mind, we don't talk about that.


You were the one who looked up all the cool tricks and hacks at 2 am.


And freaking told your friends about the game in the first place

"So there I was, sprinting to get that Rattata..."


You're the winner. You're the Champion.


Oh, gotta' go, there's a Pikachu!

Damn, I'm good.

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.
