Creative Minds Who Invented Pokémon Go,

The reason behind the fame of your game is obvious. For all the kids who started playing Pokémon in the late 90's and early 2,000's the game you have developed has been a dream come true. For years kids have been craving to live the life of a Pokémon trainer and catch all the Pokémon they can, and that is exactly what you gave them.

However a lot of complications come with the popularity and publicity of this game. There is the obvious issue of people’s awareness of their surroundings but aside from that many larger issues have been arising. People are using the game to lure in victims of crimes, teens are "Pokémon and driving,” the police are having issues left and right with this addicting game. Our population has been brainwashed into a world they wish they had years ago. Although it seems to be amazing, the negatives seem to be outweighing the positives when people put their lives and safety at stake just to catch a Jigglypuff.

Being a fan of this game along with the all the other enthusiasts, I believe some changes can be made to improve the game and create a safer environment for Pokémon Goers. The biggest change being the location of the Pokémon. The creatures should be placed carefully to avoid conflict, putting a Weedle in a funeral home isn't ideal. Nor should there be any Pokémon on the edge of cliffs or in the middle of streets. Making gyms and stops should also be looked over more carefully. Going for a nice dinner at the cheesecake factory shouldn't include seeing a crowd of people with their eyes glued to their phones battling each other. Pokémon should not be able to be caught when driving or going over 25mph.

Other fans also have great ideas on how to improve the game and their advice along with mine could do wonders for your game. Instead of spending all the money you're making on yourselves, think about using it to better the poke-community. I'm sure you can spare some of your millions to spare a few lives and crises.

Sincerely,

OliveOlio (Mystic Team)

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
