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.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.

Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
