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!

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
