10 Reasons To Stop Playing 'Pokemon Go!'

1. Because you're an adult and adults aren't allowed to have fun.

You should be at your nine to five job or doing your taxes. Adults shouldn't be playing silly games like 'Pokemon Go!' You should be at home complaining about today's youth and their technology like every other self respecting grown-up. You should literally hate your life and be actively trying to ruin other people's fun instead of having fun yourself.

2. Pokemon are actually demons.

3. The terrorists want you to play 'Pokemon Go!'

The Pokemonare literally ISIS recruiters. You'll catch them and they'll be like, "Ahh, you got me. You've now subscribed to ISIS newsletters."


4. You might accidentally get some exercise.

This is actually so un-American and very alarming to think that this could be happening right now. Disgusting.


5. You might get hurt/something bad could happen to you.

Playing 'Pokemon Go!' is actually the only possible way or circumstance that anyone could get into an accident, hurt themselves, be robbed, or anything else bad that could happen to you. Literally society was perfect before this game.

6. One caught Pokemon = one vote for Donald Trump.

If this were true, I'd actually want everyone to stop playing this game and this would be a very serious article.


7. You might meet new people and/or make new friends.

Hey, we're all gonna die alone, so who needs friends in the mean time, am I right?

8. Non-Pokemon fans might be forced to see you having a good time and experiencing your shared world that they do not own.

How dare you walk around town re-living your childhood, having the time of your life while others are also outside and can see you. That is so rude, flaunting your happiness like that, you might force someone to go on the internet and reveal how jealous and bitter they are.


9. 'Pokemon Go!' caused 9/11.

Jet fuel burned through those steel beams? No, that was Charizard.


10. The Bible says it's wrong and everyone else who plays it are sending those who don't to Hell.

Because when you don't like something and it's a part of your religion, then no one else is allowed to do that thing because it absolutely affects you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
