2. Close the app. Patiently wait approximately 10 seconds before trying again.

Deep breaths. It'll be okay. Probably.

3. Repeat steps one and two for as long as it takes.

You wanna be the very best? You're going to have to work for it.

4. Finally, the app opens.

5. There are no Pokemon in the immediate vicinity.

Ash had to travel to find his Pokemon, and so do you.

6. Walk to your nearest urban-eque area.

Any area with a PokeStop and 4G will do.

7. Catch 12 Pidgeys and 17 Rattata on the way

Pidgeys are everywhere.

8. Meet up with friends and embark on the Poke-venture.


Remember to bring a water bottle!

9. Catch 20 more Pidgeys and Rattata

Justify catching so many of the same Pokemon by saying you need the Stardust. No one needs to know that deep down you just think that Rattata are really cute.

10. Get ridiculously excited to catch an Oddish

Something different, and new, and also pretty damn common.

11. Finally catch a Pokemon worth getting excited about...

12. And watch the app crash.

As is life.

13. Repeat as needed.

Or as long as you can handle before cursing Niantic, the Pokemon Company, and every deity you can think of.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
