Every Saturday morning, bright and early, I rolled out of bed, still in pj's, and plopped down directly in front of our television. Weekends were not weekends if I didn't spend the majority of the time watching cartoons. Since I was a kid during the tail end of the major "Pokemon" craze, I only had a mild interest, but that didn't stop me from singing the theme song each time the show came on. With the craze of "Pokemon Go" launching, and it being widely accepted into the main stream, I've had to make some adjustments to my every day just to keep up with the "Pokemon Go" experience.
1. The Surge In Data
I almost always have the app open. I'm sure my cell carrier loves the extra money I'll be paying them.
2. A New Daily Commute
Is adding 10 minutes worth hitting two Pokestops? Yes. Yes, it is.
3. The Roller Coaster Emotions
Catch a Jigglypuff? You're ecstatic. It pops out and runs away? You're heartbroken.
4. So Many New Friends
Showed up to a cluster of Pokestops to find a group of 50 people already playing. Hi fam!
5. The Loyalty To Your Team

6. Your New Vocabulary
"I really just want to evolve my Lickitung so I cant take over this Gym but I'm out of Pokeballs and need to hit a few more Pokestops. Oh, look, a Snorlax and a Weepinbell!"
7. Consistently Hitting Your Step Goal
How else are you gonna get those eggs to hatch?
8. The Continuous Judgement
Please continue to post on Facebook about how people need to get out from behind their screens. Please.
9. Your New Life Goal
"I'm gonna be the very best, the best there ever was." #pokemaster
10. Finally Investing In a Battery Pack
There is no way my phone is dying in the middle of me catching this Charmander.
11. Finding Your Favorite Pokemon
Pikachu is for nubs. Psyduck is where its at.
