Whether you're a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, loads of people are obsessed with the brand new app, Pokémon Go. You'll be the luckiest player for the upcoming fall semester because Rider is a Pokémon hot spot. There are loads of Pokéstops to gather supplies and even a gym to battle other students!

As a fan of Pokémon Go myself, I have decided to prepare all other Pokémon fans for the upcoming fall semester by giving you all of the locations for each Pokéstop and the gym. I mean, who needs to study when there are so many Pokemon to catch?

But if you're looking for something fun to do after class, here is your guide to a successful Pokémon Go adventure at Rider University:

1. Rider Rock

As an incoming freshman, you'll get to know this iconic Rider tradition, but you can get to know it even more if you want to collect some Pokéballs.

2. Chesterwood

This piece of artwork close to the library is not only nice to look at, but a great place to gather supplies! So check it out on your way to study for class!

3. Dirge

Another sculpture on the Rider campus, located by the Sweigert Business building, is a great place to take a break if you're going from building to building -- so why not gather some Razz Berries to help catch those wild Pokémon?

4. Gazebo by Centennial Lake

I don't know about you, but this is a hot spot for a lot of students on campus. It's a great place to sit down and look out onto our beautiful campus lake. Now, it's a Pokéstop!

5. The Yvonne Theater

The creators must have known that so many students on campus have class by the Yvonne Theater. It's the Fine Arts building and luckily (or unluckily, if you have to climb the stairs to the third floor) is where majority of my classes are this Fall. I'm looking forward to this Pokéstop for sure.

6. Delta Phi Epsilon

Going Greek or Pokémon Hunting? I recommend you do both, but if you happen to stumble upon this purple house, it's a Pokéstop! Perhaps you'll catch a rare unicorn Pokémon while you wait.

7. Gill Memorial Chapel

If you're looking to pray for a Gyarados, head on over to the Chapel. It's the last Pokéstop on campus.

8. The Gym


There's really no name for this one, or there could be, but I couldn't figure it out. There is another piece of art on campus that happens to be the gym. It's located near the library and has been taken over by all three teams so far. Who will take over come September fourth and fifth?

I cannot wait to catch 'em all with my fellow Pokemon fans this fall semester!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
