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.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours.
