Pokémon Go is a app that's been sweeping the nation. Young and old play, and chances are, you've been tempted to try it because you probably have weird friends who have begged you to.

So, you download this app to check it out, and at first you're skeptical.

But then you catch your first pokémon, and everything changes.

You want to go everywhere and catch all the pokémon! So you start walking around, but then feel weird about doing so because you keep seeing people younger than you in packs playing, while you're a lone college student just trying to catch them all.

So you try to keep it lowkey, until you find people your age playing and you can go out in public with them.

And they teach you all these things that you didn't know before, like you can swipe for equipment at Pokéstops! And transfer pokémon you don't want! You can even evolve!

Until you get to a public area that's so infested with people and Pokémon that the servers crash, your phone freezes, or the app won't load so you have to stand around talking to people.

So you stop playing for the day and go home. However, the next day you find out you work at a Pokéstop, which you're trying to resist playing at, because you're trying to be responsible and adult.

But you soon get so bored you can't resist, so you have to improvise.

Finally, your work day is over, and you can go catch Pokémon! But the minute you start playing again, it seems like everyone in the world wants to text or call you. And you have no desire to hang out right now.

But soon your phone battery will die, and you'll have to reunite with society until it revives again. Until that day comes, happy Pokémon hunting!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
