Should You Download Pokemon Go?

Pokemon Go. The newest installment in the Pokemon saga and the first one that brings Pokemon to your front door. Literally. By now, there is no way you haven't heard of it. I bet your Facebook feed is full of pictures of your dweeb friends bragging about their gym wins and their large assortment of pocket monsters. If you debating on whether or not to download this game, I've made a list of some pros and cons.

Pro: It is an incentive for you to get out of your basement and go for a walk. Not only that, but this game encourages trainers to visit their city's parks and landmarks to find gyms and Pokestops. It's making exercise great again.

Con: It will drain your battery. It does have a battery saver option that really does help, but it still uses a lot of battery.

Pro: It's Pokemon in your life. Not just on the screen of your Gameboy or DS but through the screen of your phone, Pokemon appear in real life. Not to mention, the animation is like having your own Pokemon.

Con: Since it is very popular right now and many people are trying to play it, the network keeps crashing. This is just something we are going to have to live with for now.

Pro: While it does take battery life, it does not take much data. This is very important as most of the time you will be searching for Pokemon far away from your wifi.

Pro: You get to claim your territory. When you beat a gym, you claim that territory for your team. There are three teams available to choose from. They are inspired by the legendary birds.

Conclusion: Download it, play it and catch 'em all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
