Score: 9/10

It's been about three weeks since the release of Pokémon Sun and Moon on Nov 18, and people like me have really enjoyed it's new features. I've got to be honest, when I first got this game, I was skeptical. Now, I can't imagine a better Pokémon game.

Just from looking at the reviews, it is pretty obvious that people are enjoying these games. The game has received a 9/10 on IGN, an 87 percent out of 100 on Metacritic, and a 9/10 on TrustedReviews. This is probably becaues of all of the new features, such as: no more eight gym badges (that was getting really repetitive), and the fact that you can catch so many different Pokémon, instead of just one generation alone.

When I first heard about this game, I was hesitant to buy it. I thought, Every Pokémon game I've played so far has pretty much been exactly the same: gym battles, and catching the same Pokémon in a grassy area.

Also, I didn't like that the goals were always pretty much the same: catch the legendary Pokémon at the end of the game, and then battle the Pokémon league. This game is vastly different.

Everything is a surprise now. You don't know what the overall goal is, and you keep playing because you're so intrigued to see what's next. Also, evolutions are different.

It's not just getting the Pokémon to a certain level, or giving it a stone. Now, there's a bit more strategy. You have to evolve some of them in midday, or at night. Some of them have to have a certain attack in order to evolve. Isn't that cool??

Overall, this game is certainly an upgrade. I give it a 9/10.

There's almost nothing to improve so far, but I'm sure they will find a way to make the next game even better.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
