Is Pokémon Go Already Done?

The fad has been caught and released.

Is Pokémon Go Already Done?
Mashable

Pokémon Go has been out for a few months now, and it seems the dust is starting to settle. Several reports have been cropping up around the internet over the last few weeks stating that there is a significant drop in downloads of the app. Given the fact that the app has been released in most of the world, it’s not surprising that the number of people who have downloaded it probably peaked when their countries first got the app and now that it’s been out, most people have it.

The other variable that reports have been mentioning is the overall decline in traffic the app has been seeing. This is the more concerning feature of the app in that it shows that users are starting to get bored with the app or just don’t care about it anymore. One of the reasons, I suspect, that traffic is going down, is that people are getting frustrated with the experience needed to level up. After level 20 the user needs to get so much experience points that it multiplies exponentially the time needed to increase that level. People are needing to go back to work and pay their cell phone bills from all the Pokémon Go related overage charges. When then next generation of Pokémon comes out it can be expected that the traffic in the app and the financial prices will rise to what they were when the game first came out.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
