25 Signs You're Addicted To Pokémon Go
Pokemon Go

Though Pokémon Go was released less than a month ago, people are already losing their minds over the game. To the point, in fact, that users were already making news within the first few days.

The game is doing incredibly well. Since releasing on July 7, Pokémon Go has already been downloaded more than Tinder and is becoming an international phenomenon. Yes, Pokémon Go has taken over. The only questions are: do you play and, if so, how addicted are you? Let's find out.

1. You are no longer excited to find Rattatas and Pidgeys. In fact, they're just the worst.

2. You get weirdly excited when an unknown shadow shows up in your "nearby" display.

3. You've been given strange looks for playing Pokémon Go in a public place.

4. You did not care.

5. You feel personally victimized whenever the servers are experiencing issues.

6. You've actually done research on the game and Googled Pokémon Go tips and tricks.

7. Speaking of which, you've probably tried the possible Eevee evolution hack.

8. If you didn't already know it, you just followed that link because you had to find out.

9. Pokémon Go has motivated you to go outside and exercise.

10. You've gone from 100 percent battery to a dead phone from Pokémon Go alone.

11. You've ran out of Poké balls and maybe even considered paying actual money to buy Poké coins to get more because $0.99 is a deal.

12. You paid $4.99.

13. You paid $9.99.

14. You actually paid $99.99 of your own real money, completely sober.

15. You have visited a church with the intent of finding a Pokestop or gym.

16. The game has made you visit places you would have never been without it.

17. You've trespassed.

18. Maybe even found a dead body?

19. You've tweeted or made a Facebook post about Pokémon Go.

20. Extra points if you uploaded your own picture with a super funny mediocre caption that included #pokemongo.

21. Even more points if that post involved your team.

22. You've actually gotten into a heated discussion about why your team is the best.

23. You have bonded with someone purely due to the game.

23. It has affected your relationship or friendship(s) in a negative way.

24. You've quit your job to become a full time Pokémon Go player. (Yes, that's a thing.)

25. You took time out of your life to write an online article about it.


Play on, playas.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
