11 Thoughts While Playing Pokemon Go
Forbes

Pokemon Go is becoming the number one app in the world. For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, Pokemon Go is an interactive mobile app where you find Pokemon in your location. You can walk or even drive to different place to find these Pokemon. Once you reach level five, you pick a team at a "gym" (battle zones) and you can battle Pokemon. There are also Pokestops where you can go to leave "lures" or other fun items for other people to use as well. I recently downloaded the game myself and I am hooked on it! Whenever I am out, I find myself turning on the game to see if any new Pokemon are near me. For those of you who know what I am talking about...I figured we all think the same few things when playing Pokemon Go.

1. You find yourself opening the app whenever you're in a different area...even if it is five steps away from your last spot.

At this point, people are assuming that you're always on your phone, texting.... but that's not it, we promise! We just have to catch them all!

2. You get way too excited when you catch one, especially on the first throw.

Yes! I got points for a great throw and catching the Squirtle! Level up yet? Holla!

3. Why do I keep getting Rattatas and Pidgeys?!

Are you kidding me? I want squirtles, geodudes, pikachus! Give them to me!!!! I have too many of these typical ones.

4. It keeps saying it is nearby, but where THE H*LL am I supposed to walk to find it?!

Do I go over here? Do I walk that way? I wish this "nearby" feature would help me out some more.

5. There is a lure at that Pokestop! Let's go!

I hope I get the five new Pokemon! I wonder if they have pokeballs there too! I wonder how crowded it is.

6. Maybe if I open and close the app every twp minutes then new Pokemon will appear.

I keep getting the same ones..nothing new. I guess I have to actually go walk around and find new ones? Darn.

7. Why do these keep breaking out of the Pokeballs?

Stay with me. You will be safe. Do not run away from me. I spent good money on these Pokeballs...do not waste them.

8. Team Valor? Team Mystic? Team Instinct?

I don't know who to choose. So much pressure. I am going to lose friends either way it seems.

9. Hope no one minds if I buy more Pokeballs!

Hey, I am just buying a present for myself.....? I just don't think you understand how important this is to me. I gotta do what makes me happy.

10. You end up getting too close to other people when trying to find Pokemon...

Oops, sorry sir, just trying to catch Meowth. Don't mind me. Act like I am not even here.

11. I wish the server would stop crashing...

Dear Pokemon Go, I just want to catch 'em all. Fix your servers, please. Sincerely, everyone.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
