The new mobile device gaming sensation, Pokemon Go has swept the country ON the streets. You cannot go anywhere without seeing someone on their phone playing it. This game promotes adventure by allowing individuals to use the app's navigational system to catch Pokemon in designated areas. The app is so popular that even the YELP app has a Pokestop location indicator. Even though it is a fun game and motivates a person to go outside, have fun, and exercise, here are some tips you need to keep in mind.


1. Bring your charger or bring an extra battery pack.

-The game uses GPS in order to find Pokemon and capture them. With that being said, it can drain your battery percentage in a matter of minutes, so it is important to have a charger of some sorts on deck.

2. If under the age, make sure your parents allow you to use the app.

-Pokemon Go uses a lot of Data on one's mobile device. Depending on what your plan is, it can increase your monthly bill if not used within reason. If you can, find places that have free wifi and a pokestop all in one.

3. Make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes!

-Especially during the summer time, the weather is hotter and the game requires a good bit of walking and (maybe) running. It is important to wear shoes that are comfortable to walk in for an extended period of time.

4. Make sure to NOT Pokemon Go and Drive.

-Don't text and drive either, it can wait. Be safe at ALL times.

5. To go with #4, ALWAYS remember to look up.

-Safely look both ways when crossing the street and watch where you're going. These are simple rules to remember so that you don't get yourself in an accident of some sorts.

6. Look up the hot spots BEFORE you go to them.

-For those that drive, this is a good way to not waste gas. Join the Pokemon Go pages in your area on Facebook to see where all the prime locations are. (Most likely at beaches, cities, parks, and places with a lot of monuments).

7. It is almost always fun to play with a group or another person.

-This is a good way to make friends or get outside of your house and have some fun. Great and many minds think alike!

8. Do NOT get into arguments with people for what team they're on.

-It's all fun and games.

9. Stay hydrated!

-For the most part, you are outside and moving around, it would make sense.

10. Remember to have fun!

-The competitiveness can get to our head sometimes.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
