Whether you're a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, loads of people are obsessed with the brand new app, Pokémon Go. You'll be the luckiest player for the upcoming fall semester because Rider is a Pokémon hot spot. There are loads of Pokéstops to gather supplies and even a gym to battle other students!

As a fan of Pokémon Go myself, I have decided to prepare all other Pokémon fans for the upcoming fall semester by giving you all of the locations for each Pokéstop and the gym. I mean, who needs to study when there are so many Pokemon to catch?

But if you're looking for something fun to do after class, here is your guide to a successful Pokémon Go adventure at Rider University:

1. Rider Rock

As an incoming freshman, you'll get to know this iconic Rider tradition, but you can get to know it even more if you want to collect some Pokéballs.

2. Chesterwood

This piece of artwork close to the library is not only nice to look at, but a great place to gather supplies! So check it out on your way to study for class!

3. Dirge

Another sculpture on the Rider campus, located by the Sweigert Business building, is a great place to take a break if you're going from building to building -- so why not gather some Razz Berries to help catch those wild Pokémon?

4. Gazebo by Centennial Lake

I don't know about you, but this is a hot spot for a lot of students on campus. It's a great place to sit down and look out onto our beautiful campus lake. Now, it's a Pokéstop!

5. The Yvonne Theater

The creators must have known that so many students on campus have class by the Yvonne Theater. It's the Fine Arts building and luckily (or unluckily, if you have to climb the stairs to the third floor) is where majority of my classes are this Fall. I'm looking forward to this Pokéstop for sure.

6. Delta Phi Epsilon

Going Greek or Pokémon Hunting? I recommend you do both, but if you happen to stumble upon this purple house, it's a Pokéstop! Perhaps you'll catch a rare unicorn Pokémon while you wait.

7. Gill Memorial Chapel

If you're looking to pray for a Gyarados, head on over to the Chapel. It's the last Pokéstop on campus.

8. The Gym


There's really no name for this one, or there could be, but I couldn't figure it out. There is another piece of art on campus that happens to be the gym. It's located near the library and has been taken over by all three teams so far. Who will take over come September fourth and fifth?

I cannot wait to catch 'em all with my fellow Pokemon fans this fall semester!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?
