Understanding Pokémon Go

Wanting to be the very best has been a dream throughout many generations of Pokémon lovers, and finally we can catch them all! But that does not mean that it is going to be easy, and by now we can all tell who is Pogoing, and who is not. Here are 15 ways to help those who don't play to understand!

1. This is what it feels like when your app loads.

While we are not exactly in the virtual reality with Pokémon yet, turning on that app feels like entering a whole new world filled with the creatures of our childhood.

2. This is what it feels like when the app does not load

We understand that there are still a lot of bugs to work out, but this server issue is starting to get out of hand.

3. What you expect to see in a new area

I will catch you Pikachu...it is only a matter of time

4. What you actually see

Pidgeys....so many Pidgeys...

5. When you catch a cool Pokémon with one throw

I AM THE MASTER OF ALL POKÉMON!

5. When you swear the Pokémon are running from you

But there always seems to be a person around that knows exactly what you are looking for.

6. When you find a Pokémon you want and you are out of Pokéballs

Niantic has got to be toying with us. I know they want me to spend money I do not have.

7. When your friend picks a different team

At least if I GO alone my server might work better.

8. When someone sets up a lure at a Poké stop

It is a great way to meet new people...and to be trampled.

9. When you are settling in for the night but you notice something new on the front lawn

There is no time to waste. Three steps could be three miles!

10. When you finally hatch an egg

"I would walk a thousand miles..."

11. And it turns out to be something lame

I have so many rattata's I do not know what to do

12. What it feels like to play Pokémon GO and what it feels like the day after

"My quads hurt so bad." "Did you go to the gym yesterday?" "Yeah I guess you could say that."

13. When you face your fears to catch Ghost Pokémon


"Hello darkness my old friend"

14. When you are a leader of a gym for ten minutes

I know I can't defend it forever, but everyone knows that I did it once.

15. And of course, when you finally catch them all

I AM THE VERY BEST THAT NO ONE EVER WAS!


Have fun out there!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
