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.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
