What does playing Pokemon Go say about your love life?

5 Similarities Between Pokémon Go And Dating
Forbes Magazine

Strangely enough, Pokemon Go has a lot of similarities between you and your dating life. It may not be scientifically proven, but I believe those who play Pokemon Go reveal a lot about themselves in regards to their love life. Here are five theories about those who play Pokemon Go.

1. You are loyal. For months the Pokemon Go app has continued on without any new updates or new Pokemon (until recently), yet you kept the app downloaded on your phone, remaining loyal to its fanbase. While many grew impatient and bored with the game, you decided it was worth the wait. Being patient and loyal with a game could possibly show that you're loyal as a person as well, willing to wait for that special someone to come along.

2. You go the distance. Just like your relationship with your significant other, you are willing to travel at any distance necessary for them. Similar to Pokemon Go, you travel the distance as well. You can go on walks for catching some rare Pokemon, or you need to hatch that 10K egg.

3. Like the Pokemon, your relationship is always evolving. There is dedication and effort made to evolve your Pokemon. You work hard towards getting the candies and catching all the other Pokemon. Just like Pokemon Go, you and your significant other work hard, staying dedicated, preparing yourselves for the next step, whatever that may be.

4. You become better over time. The first time you enter Pokemon Go, you have a little uncertainty about things, like how to throw a spinning Pokeball, or how to incubate an egg. Eventually, you become well accustomed to playing the game. Oddly enough, dating is just like this: you first start out a little nervous, not entirely aware of what to expect; you're not entirely certain of some things. But eventually, you get better at it.

5. Be alert and aware of your surroundings. While dating, it's best to always pay attention to what the partner is saying; otherwise, there may be trouble along the way. When you are with them, be alert and never enter any "dangerous" areas such politics, kids, or meeting the parents. In Pokemon Go, there is not really a general difference, meaning, when you play the game, it also reminds you to be aware of your surroundings and avoid dangerous areas.


Again, this is a bit of a far fetched analogy, but hopefully, some of these statements are oddly true. What other similarities are there between dating and playing Pokemon Go?

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
