"Pokémon Go" is the new craze taking over peoples lives. Here some signs it might being doing the same to you; and if you haven't started playing Pokémon Go yet, I suggest you do so soon.

1. When you go to hard.

I mean when theres a Pikachu on the line you gotta do what you gotta do!


2. You walk into the most random places.

Well theres a Pokémon in that persons house and I really shouldn't go in there but...

3. You drive around with your phone out the window trying to catch them all!

But seriously don't play Pokémon Go while you are driving! but if you are in the passenger seat catch the ALL!

4. You run around like a crazy person from place to place!

Well I'm sitting at dinner and there is defiantly a Pokémon across the street... I'm sure they won't notice if I just slip out really quick.

5. You scream at your phone when you can’t catch the Pokémon!

Yep people are defiantly going to question your sanity, but everyones doing it so it's basically a new social norm.

6. When you can tell who the other "Pokémon Go" trainers are.

When you see them you then continue to scream across the street.. "Any over there" or "Pokémon Go?"

7. You delete everything, even Facebook, to make room for the App.

Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to be the best Trainer out there, yes even twitter and Instagram might have to go as well.

8. You yell at your friends to slow down because you are trying to catch a Pokémon.

The app should really come with Warning: friends beware of other friends constantly stopping to catch a Pokémon! If they are your real friend they will be playing it as well, because everyone is doing it.

9. When you get the notification the Pokémon is down the creepy alley.

Don't go anywhere by yourself, use the buddy system when playing....unless its a Gym then you take down your all of your friends! Team BLUE or RED?!? Definitely not team Yellow.

10. When you end up in jail because you just wanted to catch them all.

Well I hope not! Lets just hope the only thing being caught is the Pokémon, and taking over gyms!

Now, Pokémon Go is a super fun game, but make sure you are playing smart and safe! Always pay attention and don't do anything stupid :)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
