New Way To Get Your Kids and 20 Something Year Olds Out Of The House

Pokemon GO is the new flapping bird of the week, or perhaps the new it game for a while. Many of us have been exposed to Pokemon as in video games and anime, and it is now back on an app!

It's a new on the go app game that is Pokemon where you catch Pokemon, and can use your camera as you're doing it to capture a photo with it or while you're catching it.

You can catch your favorite Pokemons on actual streets in your neighborhood, and there are "Pokespots" where you can gain extra pokeballs and eggs and such. After reaching level 5, you can begin to train your Pokemon and battle with others.

It was released on July 6th, 2016 and has broken records already by so many people playing it. You will run into people on the streets looking at their phone and trying to catch them just like you!

There are meetups happening in many cities for "Pokemon Go Meet Up" where you can meet up with others interested in playing and find Pokemons together.

This app has gotten many people out of the house, actually being active. Many have been wandering around their neighborhood and even finding places near that you did not know existed! There are many "Pokespots" that are random statues, gardens, parks, and etc, that many did not even know there was one by their house walking distance.

The only downfall of the app would be that many people are looking at their phones trying to find some Pokemon while walking around, even more than texting and walking. But the app was so successful that it is worth $7.5 billion within the first week of launchment and more people use Pokemon GO than Twitter.

Catching Pokemon may look a bit odd and it may be dangerous to be on your phone the whole time but it is getting many people out and about and it is fun so enjoy the game and play safe!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
