New Pokemon Sun And Moon Trading Card Game!

Why I won't replace my EXs with GXs.

To be honest, this article is super slapped together because the new Pokemon Sun and Moon Trading Cards came out this weekend! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this set and the new anime. It's been so long since I've been this excited about anything related to Pokemon, but ugh. I just can't contain my excitement!

So if you have any nerd friends at all, you probably know that the new Sun and Moon 3DS games came out in mid-November. I was equally excited for that as I am the new cards. I recently just finished the game, except for the Battle Tree. If y'all have any recommendations on how to beat that thing, I would seriously appreciate it. I keep losing in the third battle. It's incredibly frustrating. Anyway! I purchased Moon, and it was seriously one of the most fun games I've ever played. I literally logged over 50 hours in the thing. Mostly from trying to complete my life goal of completing a Pokedex, but you know. Fun, nevertheless.

With the new TCG (Trading Card Game), we are finally able to get our hands on the new GX cards that are replacing EXs and Breaks. While I have to admit I have pulled some beautiful cards since the set came out, I'm kind of disappointed to say the least. I was all excited about this crazy new set with these supposedly crazy good cards....Until I pulled the Espeon GX...

If you know anything about me, you know that my favorite Pokemon is easily Eevee, and my favorite Eevee-loution is Glaceon. So, you have to imagine my excitement when I heard that some of the Eevee-loutions were going to be part of the new GX cards. While the Espeon is an absolutely gorgeous card, it only does 60 damage..That's easily half of what an EX attack would do! How crazy. These supposedly crazy amazing new cards are really not that crazy amazing. Of course there are the ones that are super good, but the majority of them are not.

I know this probably sounds like I'm shoving poo in Pokemon's face, which I kind of am, but I'm not going to hark on this set too much. I really do love the set, and I will continue to buy the cards, but I'm not going to quit buying the older sets and playing EXs in my deck. Replacing all my EXs with GXs really isn't going to be worth it in the long run. My EXs will serve me just fine.

With that being said, go out and buy a Pokemon product. Support this amazing company that I have come to know and love for most of my life now. Literally, I've only been in existence not even one year longer than Pokemon.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
