Gotta Catch'em All

Celebrities going unnoticed in crowds of Pokemon trainers.

Heads up Pokemon Trainers! If you're lucky you may catch more than a few pokemon while out poke-hunting, you may catch a glimpse of a celebrity as well.

Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm, sparking the interest of people of all ages. Just last week I decided to download the game while in Wildwood, New Jersey on a day-trip with my mother and I kid you not there was a pokestop and about a dozen people buried in their phones on every street corner. When taking to the boardwalk I was shocked; hundreds of people meandering, heads down, staring at their phones, coming to a halt each and every-time a wild weedle or rattata appeared. It was very clear that no one was paying attention to anything or anyone around them, their sole focus was on Pokemon Go.

I noticed this same pattern while at the University of Delaware yesterday afternoon. Each time I drove down main street I noticed numerous people on the steps of Old College and at first this seemed odd, but upon opening my Pokemon Go app I found that Old College was, in fact, the site of a Pokemon Go gym. This made me wonder how many celebrities have been able to sneak past crowds of pokemon trainers unnoticed.

I took to my phone out of curiosity and found that earlier this week Justin Bieber managed to infiltrate a massive crowd of pokemon trainers in Central Park, New York City and began poke-hunting with the others without being noticed. The pokemon trainers, so focused on their game, did not notice the celebrity in their midst.

Justin Bieber is only one of many celebrity poke-trainers that can be spotted (If you're even looking) walking the city streets searching for pokemon. It has been noted that many other celebrities have become addicted to the game and often walk around "trying to catch'em all." Rapper Tyga and girlfriend Kylie Jenner have been spotted in Budapest poke-hunting while Demi Lovato poke-hunts on her Future Now Tour with Nick Jonas. John Mayer posts on Instagram photographic proof of having spent nearly $100 in pokecoins, Zach Braf is spotted in Union Square, New York City, and Joe Jonas jokingly asks fans, via Twitter, to join him on a poke hunt to Area 51 to find Mewtwo.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
