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.

"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?
