"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 :)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
