Peace, Love, Pokémon Go

I have never wanted to go outside and run around in the heat more than I have the past few days.

If you haven't heard of Pokémon Go yet, you might be living under a rock. It was released very recently, but basically everyone is already playing it. What makes it so great?

You get to actually go out and find Pokémon. This isn't a normal game from Nintendo, as you actually have to leave your house to make progress in the game. You have to travel around your town or city to go to different locations to get more items, find locations where certain Pokémon can be found. If you live in the middle of no where like me, be expected to find a whole lot of Rattatas and Pidgeys...

No really, they're everywhere, I just want to find a Pickachu...

I honestly think Pokémon Go is the best thing to happen this year so far. It's getting people out of the house, where they're probably sulking because this year has been crazy weird, and getting them to run around with a purpose. You can just randomly meet people on the street now and bond with them because you can pretty much tell those who are playing the game. It's that slow walk, looking down at the phone, possibly going in weird directions because the stupid Charizard won't stay still.

There's also three different teams you can join (although team Mystic is the best, let's be honest), so if those people you're meeting are on your team, you're in for a good time. You can go to the different gym locations in your city and work with them to take over the gym, which might be taken by one of the other teams.

This doesn't mean it can't be sketchy to play it though. I wouldn't exactly advise walking around in an unfamiliar neighborhood at night just because you've got to catch that elusive Pokémon, because unfortunately everything isn't roses in our universe. I predict that in a couple of years, however, everyone will be too preoccupied with catching them all for there to be any war or hatred. It will only be peace, love, and Pokémon.

Anyway, it's a great game. It can be a little glitchy, but it was just released, so I don't expect it to be running super smooth. It's just really nice to see everyone getting outside and having fun together, since most of the games we've been playing in recent years don't require you to do something like that. Go out, have fun, catch Pokémon, and try not to run into traffic.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
