Astrology Is Fun, Let People Enjoy Things

Astrology is fun, interesting and a way to pass time, who cares about whether it's real or not.

Astrology Is Fun, Let People Enjoy Things

Now if you are unfamiliar with what exactly astrology is, according to liveabout.com, "Astrology is the study of patterns and relationships — of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry with others, the make-up of elements — and using that knowledge as a tool to find meaning." Astrology used to be common in academic circles and was considered to be a science.

But in recent decades, it has lost it's academic and theoretical standing. But just because it is not considered a science anymore does not mean that people can't enjoy it or put their faith in it. Most people know about it due to the 12 zodiac signs (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius) which most people know their sun sign since it is based on your birth date. Someone can also figure out their moon, rising signs and the placement of planets if they know the time of their birth.

For example, there are roughly 4200 religions in our world and there is little to no concrete proof to any of those religions. But that does not stop anyone from following whatever religion they choose, it is what gives them peace and comfort. Practicing a religion is a societal norm, why can't astrology be afforded the same ideology? The fact that there are individuals out here complaining about astrology and how it's a bunch of garbage is so asinine.

Now with all interest/hobbies, there will always be a select few who can be deemed annoying. But the point still stands, those who enjoy learning about how the stars affect our lives should be allowed to enjoy their journey to knowledge? It's not like astrology is being used to save lives or build rocket ships, why must science be behind it? Astrology is just a fun way to have something to explain live events and human behavior. While it might not be the most accurate, at the end of the day it is just another hobby to which people should be left to enjoy.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
