20 Things I Think About When Playing Poké​mon Go
SweatyPistol

I downloaded Pokémon Go a few hours after it was released and I was instantly addicted! Hooked, I tell ya! And so are the people around me. It is surprising how viral this game went.

With my legs taking the lead and me not paying attention to my surroundings, I suddenly find myself at the park or on campus. Next thing I know, I’m in a random neighborhood. It seems sketchy, but it’s about catching all ‘em Pokémon. I played so much during the first few hours that I was instantly in level 5 and already fighting in gyms. When I’m playing, here are some of the things I think about and I’m sure you have as well -- oh, and minus the cuss words:

1. I’m finally going to be a Pokémon master!

2. Which starter shall I choose?

I guess, I can choose Charmander. But Squirtle is so cute. I guess, I’ll go with Bulbasaur.

3. "Servers are down again?"

I'm honestly so tired of this game. (keeps restarting)

4. “This game is rigged, why is it glitching?”

Literally me when the game glitches mid-catching.

5. (Sees friends on Facebook catch rare Pokemon.)

Me: Ya'll are nerds

6. Me (catches a rare Pokemon): I just got lucky.

But I'm actually dancing and gloating in the inside

7. Wait, slow down I see Clefairy coming up!

I remember seeing Clefable nearby. It popped up, I clicked it, and the most unfortunate thing just happened. I ran out of Pokeballs. Unbelievable!

8. Fear: Running out of Pokeballs.

I should go to campus or to the park to reload at the Pokestops.


9. Who's nearby?

OK. It says Pikachu is three feet away, and I've walked three feet or so in all directions! Where on Earth could it be?

10. Can you turn right slowly? It says two feet on Snorlax.

Or actually not. I should have said turn left.


11. “OMG! I can evolve an Eevee!”

Silent prayer: Not another Jolteon please.


12. “Why can’t I just catch a Mewtwo or something?”

Only sees 50 Ratattas and 100 Zubats.

13. “Here’s a razzberry -- please don’t escape.”

- Gucci good boy -- dang it, I missed.

14. “Don't make me use my Great Ball!”

- And of course, I’m out of great balls.

15. “Hey isn’t he supposed to be dead by now? The gym is glitching.”

Your life is already wasted, why are you still wasting my time?

16. Changing routes.

“I have time, I will probably use the longest possible route going home or going to work. I hope I’ll catch a rare one.”


17. I don’t have to go to the gym, this is my workout.

(Walks around in circles.)

18. “I wish I lived next to a Pokestop.”


I will stick with my limited supply of incense for now.

19. Oh? Egg hatching. “Please be a rare one."

- *(Gets a pidgey.) I guess, it's fine.

20.

My silent prayer: Please don’t escape.

Literally me when I saw Snorlax and Venusaur blocking the

road.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
