Understanding Pokémon Go

Fifteen signs that you pogo with the best of them.

Sep 27, 2016

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!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
