For when you just have to catch them all.

I am sure everyone has heard of the app Pokémon go by now. In case you haven't, it is an EXTREMELY addicting game where you catch Pokémon and eventually use them to fight others in gyms. Basically, it's the greatest game ever, but even the best games have their flaws and setbacks. While most of us can agree the game is life changing, here are some of the main struggles my friends and I (and basically whoever else plays) faces through their Poké Hunts.

1. When your egg is on 9.9/10 km, and you feel like that last .1 km is impossible.

2. When there are nothing but Pidgeys, Weedles, and Zubats!

3. Running out of Poké Balls.

4. Seeing something cool in the nearby but not being able to find it.

5. When your ball freezes mid throw.

6. Being right on top of the Poké Stop, but it still says you're too far.

7. Getting an Eevee from a 10k egg.

8. When the game makes your battery die in an hour.

9. When you have 100 Pokeballs but no Great balls.

10. When your friend catches a 450 CP Kakuna and yours is a 10 CP.


11. When you finally catch a 500 CP Eevee right after you evolved your 400 CP one.

12. Only have one egg incubator.

13. Using 30 balls, 3 razz berries on one Pokémon, and it still breaks out.

14. When you finally find the Pokémon you need, and it runs.

15. When 10 CP Weedle has the nerve to break out of your perfect throw.

17. Needing 400 candies to level up your Magikarp.

18. Feeling like Pikachus are so rare they don't exist.

19. Constantly checking your moms speedometer to see if she is going 15 MPH so you can get closer to hatching your eggs.

20. When you get shotgun in the car, and you have to play on two phones at a time.

21. Trying to take down a gym by yourself is nearly impossible.

22. Only having one friend on the same team as you.

23. Having your game open in your house praying something will pop up so you don't need to get up.

24. Making your dog walk with you to the Poké Stops so you don't look weird walking in circles alone.

25. Never having enough Stardust.

26. When you were lucky enough to find a rare Pokémon, but you still need 50 more candies to evolve it.

27. Putting up a lure and still not getting any rare Pokémon.

28. Having to wait 20 hours to collect coins again.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
