5 Similarities Between Pokémon Go And Dating
Forbes Magazine

Strangely enough, Pokemon Go has a lot of similarities between you and your dating life. It may not be scientifically proven, but I believe those who play Pokemon Go reveal a lot about themselves in regards to their love life. Here are five theories about those who play Pokemon Go.

1. You are loyal. For months the Pokemon Go app has continued on without any new updates or new Pokemon (until recently), yet you kept the app downloaded on your phone, remaining loyal to its fanbase. While many grew impatient and bored with the game, you decided it was worth the wait. Being patient and loyal with a game could possibly show that you're loyal as a person as well, willing to wait for that special someone to come along.

2. You go the distance. Just like your relationship with your significant other, you are willing to travel at any distance necessary for them. Similar to Pokemon Go, you travel the distance as well. You can go on walks for catching some rare Pokemon, or you need to hatch that 10K egg.

3. Like the Pokemon, your relationship is always evolving. There is dedication and effort made to evolve your Pokemon. You work hard towards getting the candies and catching all the other Pokemon. Just like Pokemon Go, you and your significant other work hard, staying dedicated, preparing yourselves for the next step, whatever that may be.

4. You become better over time. The first time you enter Pokemon Go, you have a little uncertainty about things, like how to throw a spinning Pokeball, or how to incubate an egg. Eventually, you become well accustomed to playing the game. Oddly enough, dating is just like this: you first start out a little nervous, not entirely aware of what to expect; you're not entirely certain of some things. But eventually, you get better at it.

5. Be alert and aware of your surroundings. While dating, it's best to always pay attention to what the partner is saying; otherwise, there may be trouble along the way. When you are with them, be alert and never enter any "dangerous" areas such politics, kids, or meeting the parents. In Pokemon Go, there is not really a general difference, meaning, when you play the game, it also reminds you to be aware of your surroundings and avoid dangerous areas.


Again, this is a bit of a far fetched analogy, but hopefully, some of these statements are oddly true. What other similarities are there between dating and playing Pokemon Go?

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.

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.
