Pokemon GO is Finally Here!

Pokemon GO is Finally Here!

After months and months of agonizing anticipation, the wait for all you Pokemon lovers is finally over.

Pokemon GO was officially released in the United States in July, which immediately caused everyone to reach for their phones and download the game.

Pokemon GO is essentially every Pokemon obsessed person's dream come to life, in which you are able to walk around outside and catch Pokemon like a real trainer!

Well, the closest it can get anyway.

Basically, you give the app the permission to access your location while you walk around your town and other various locations to locate and catch Pokemon. When you encounter a Pokemon, the camera on your phone turns on and makes it appear as though the Pokemon in question is right in front of you.


Depending on where you are, different Pokemon will be found because of the different geological areas, so some Pokemon may not be available in certain areas. However, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that areas near water are more prone to water Pokemon.

In the game, you can find "pokestops" and gyms, in which you can stock up on pokeballs and other items while on your journey, and at gyms you can partake in battles with the Pokemon you've captured on your journey.

Many people have been enjoying this new game since it's been released, in fact, I've seen many people walking down sidewalks swiping their fingers down their phone screens and their faces lighting up when they've successfully captured a Pokemon for their own. I've fallen victim to the addictiveness of this game, along with my friends since Pokemon was such a big part of our childhoods, and so popular among our generation. People of all ages are currently playing this game since there seems to be no wrong age to start your journey, even if Pokemon GO is your first endeavor with the Pokemon world.

However, Pokemon GO hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows for every user. From time to time, the servers have been so backed up and busy that the app won't let users sign into their accounts and search for Pokemon. If that doesn't give you a glimpse at how popular this game currently is, then you're surely mistaken. A couple of players have even reported that their app has been crashing on them while they were attempting to catch a Pokemon. However, the app is fairly new, so there are bound to be some bugs and not the ones we want to catch.

So get out of your house and download Pokemon GO! It's a great way to get some exercise while playing a fun and addictive game!

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.
