Welcome! To the ultimate GIF reaction "Pokémon Go" relatable article thing! "Pokémon Go" is a collaborative game by Niantic Labs, Nintendo, and Google Maps! It introduces augmented reality technology that allows you to bring Pokémon into the real world! It still reigns as the number one free downloaded app in the app store since its release date on July 6, 2016. "Pokémon Go" allows old and new fans alike to discover the exciting feeling of catching them all! It's like a new age Pokémania a decade later! If you're an active player, keep reading and you'll probably laugh and groan at some of these. How many can you relate to?

1. That feeling we all had when we first started playing.

2. How it feels when too many people around you are playing "Pokémon Go"...

3. ...and then the server crashes! *cries*

4. When you see a Pokémon you haven't caught yet and it pops up on your screen.

5. That moment of sadness when a Pokémon you were trying to catch randomly disappears/ runs away/ phone freezes/ etc. (Especially when you used a lot of berries/ Pokéballs on it!)

6. When the Poké-fam unites together to share the positive things about this game against someone who tries to say "Pokémon Go" is a waste of time/ stupid/ a bad thing for the human race/ etc.

7. Blasting the "Pokémon" theme when Poké-hunting.

8. That feeling of accomplishment when both you AND your friend catch a good Pokémon. Literally the best feeling ever.

10. When you gotta catch 'em all despite the weather.

11. Enjoying the sights and scenes of the outside world this adventure brings you to.

12. When you win a gym battle/ become a gym leader (even if it's only for like two minutes).

13. That annoying moment when you rightfully defeat a gym and are about to add a Pokémon to it, but then SOMEONE ELSE FREAKING TAKES IT. It's even worse when you see the person who did it and was just waiting for you to beat the gym, so they could have it.

19. Dodging all those attacks like:

20. When it takes a long time for a Pokémon to stay in the ball long enough to be caught.

21. FINALLY saving enough candies to evolve a Pokémon!

22. Team Valor, yo. #represent

23. Team Mystic vibes~

24. Team Instinct keepin' it hashtag LIT.

25. When you find people who are on the same team as you.

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.

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.

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.
