Should You Download Pokemon Go?

Pokemon Go. The newest installment in the Pokemon saga and the first one that brings Pokemon to your front door. Literally. By now, there is no way you haven't heard of it. I bet your Facebook feed is full of pictures of your dweeb friends bragging about their gym wins and their large assortment of pocket monsters. If you debating on whether or not to download this game, I've made a list of some pros and cons.

Pro: It is an incentive for you to get out of your basement and go for a walk. Not only that, but this game encourages trainers to visit their city's parks and landmarks to find gyms and Pokestops. It's making exercise great again.

Con: It will drain your battery. It does have a battery saver option that really does help, but it still uses a lot of battery.

Pro: It's Pokemon in your life. Not just on the screen of your Gameboy or DS but through the screen of your phone, Pokemon appear in real life. Not to mention, the animation is like having your own Pokemon.

Con: Since it is very popular right now and many people are trying to play it, the network keeps crashing. This is just something we are going to have to live with for now.

Pro: While it does take battery life, it does not take much data. This is very important as most of the time you will be searching for Pokemon far away from your wifi.

Pro: You get to claim your territory. When you beat a gym, you claim that territory for your team. There are three teams available to choose from. They are inspired by the legendary birds.

Conclusion: Download it, play it and catch 'em all.

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.
