There is a new craze in the gaming scene and it’s called Pokémon Go. This is a new app that is taking over the world and has now become the most downloaded game app in history.

Pokémon Go is an app that can be downloaded on any smartphone and that anybody can play. The goal of the game is to “catch ‘em all.” It uses GPS signal to place Pokémon at different spots around your location. This forces the player to move and travel to different areas in order to gain more Pokémon. As you go along you collect more Pokémon, gain points, and reach different levels.

When this game was created, it was meant to get people outside and walking around. It has done so much more than that and has now become a craze. People are playing this game wherever they go, day or night. Pokémon Go has gotten people to come together and meet up to play the game. If you go to your nearby park or town, you are bound to see kids walking around aimlessly looking at their phone. You know that they are hunting Pokémon.

Pokémon Go has become a game that most people are crazy about. It does have its benefits, however it also comes with some downfalls.

There is a feature in the game called a lure, and this allows the player to put a lure out at a certain location which puts a Pokémon there and attracts other players. This can be a dangerous situation because when the other players go to find the Pokémon that the lure set, they don’t know the situation that they are walking into. There was a situation in Missouri where three teens put out a lure in a parking lot and people went there look for the Pokémon and ended up being robbed at gunpoint.

This game is a big distraction to people while they are on the move. Yes it gets them out and walking around, but it causes them to be distracted while doing it. A teen in New York ended up walking on to a highway and got hit by a car because he was looking for a Pokémon that he had been chasing. Another incident that occurred was a man that was driving and playing Pokémon and ended up crashing his car into a tree.

People aren’t just walking around and playing anymore. They are driving to find these Pokémon and it is highly distracting. Distracted driving is dangerous and can get someone killed. This game has its’s dangers if it is not played properly.

Pokemon Go came on the scene as a new app craze. Certain things about it are dangerous, but if it is played properly and in the right areas at the right time, it can be a fun game that everybody can play.

Pokemon Go is a game that is worth playing, only under the right circumstance though. So everyone that plays it, play it safely and you can have fun with all your friends playing it.

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.
