Pokémon Go, the latest trend for mobile devices that was released July 6th, 2016. The game is currently in the top download charts, and even though it’s free to download, it has added $7.5 billion to the firm’s market value.

1. Hatch eggs faster

Hatching eggs can take forever depending on the egg. There are three types of eggs that I'm currently aware of and each hatch depending on the distance you walk. There is a 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km egg which hatch different types of Pokémon from Caterpie to Aerodactyl.

I've seen several different tricks for hatching eggs faster. People have hooked their phone up to their dogs collar and let the dog go for a run in the house or in their backyard. Or, left the app open while they are driving to school or work. But, it only works if your not going to fast or that game will not count it. (And don't play and drive)

2. Pokémon spawning

Pokémon spawn much faster and in larger quantities at high traffic locations. So, get your friends together and play or go to a Pokéstop and lay a lure down for extra spawns.

Pokémon also spawn at locations that match up to the areas located in the game. So if your near water like lakes and pounds, then you'll find water types.

3. Pokéballs

The only way you play the game and catch Pokémon is if have the Pokéballs. You can get extra Pokéballs from Pokéstops. You can also pick up the Pokéballs that you have thrown and missed.

4. PokéStops

Sometimes it's hard to find PokéStops, but once you find one you can visit that same spot multiple times a day. Once you visit a PokéStop and collect your rewards, the PokeStop will turn purple but only for about 5 minutes or so. After that, you can once again collect items from that spot.

5. Trade in your duplicate Pokémon

Well in the game it's called a "transfer" but unlike in the handheld, once you transfer the Pokémon, you can't get it back. The advantages of trading your duplicate Pokémon in though, is that you get extra candy. So you can level your other Pokémon up.

6. Lure and incense

If you don't feel like walking then you can go to a restaurant or shop that has a PokéStop and place a lure there, which will bring Pokémon to you instead of you having to go to them. Or, if your stick somewhere like home or work and don't have a PokéStop near you, then you can use incense to bring them to you just like a lure.

7. Be picky

When it comes to leveling and evolving your Pokémon up; it takes a lot of stardust and candy. You don't want to waste all of it on a Pokémon with a low CP when you may encounter another one with higher CP and better moves.

8. Catch multiples!

In order to get more candy to level your Pokémon up, you have catch multiples of the exact same species of Pokémon.

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.
