How You Know You're Addicted To Pokémon Go, As Told By The Office

Here are 10 ways to know that you are in way too deep with Pokémon Go, as told by The Office.

1. Your friends ask you to come hang out, but you say you’re sick so you can go catch Pokémon instead.

Turns out, you're not very good at coming up with plausible excuses.


2. You spend excessive amounts of actual money on Pokéballs.

Yes, spending real life money on imaginary items is totally sane, mom.


3. You get unnecessarily angry when a Pokémon runs away.

Nah, Abra, really, it's fine. I'll just waste all of my pokeballs on you just so you can run away.


4. You end a friendship because the other person is on Team Mystic.

Yeah, I said it.


5. You stay out at public parks, catching Pokémon, until ungodly hours of the morning even though you have to be up early.


It’s 4 am?! It was 5 pm like two minutes ago.


6. As a passenger in a vehicle, you yell at the driver to slow down so you can get Pokéballs from a Pokéstop.

FYI, you can't drive 15 MPH on the highway.


7. You have 70 pidgeys.


So. Many. Pidgeys.

8. You get upset when your lure attracts more people than it does Pokémon.

It's only okay when I mooch off of lures. Geez.


9. You’ve been stopped by the police for being out late at night catching Pokémon.

"I'm actually not smoking weed, believe it or not, officer."


10. Since Pokémon Go came out, you’ve barely payed attention to anything else.

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.

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.

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.
