Why Being A Cancer Is Awesome

Cancers may be moody and sensitive, but there's so many other good things about cancers.

My birthday is on June 24, which means that my zodiac sign is the notorious Crabby Cancer. I might be a little bias, but cancers are freaking awesome. In the past, I've heard all the negative comments about my zodiac sign: "Oh you must be super sensitive." or "That means you are moody." For people born a Cancer (as they have a birthday from June 21- July 22), they probably have heard some of the same stuff. But that doesn't mean that being a Cancer is all bad. The following is a list of the best things about being born a Cancer.

1. We are empathetic.

Cancers often get a bad rap for being "too sensitive." However, this only means that we care about people who we are close to, and we care about other people's feelings. Just because we care, doesn't mean it's its a bad thing. The world needs people who care like Cancers do. Cancers will go out of their way to see your perspective, so to better understand you. And they will do generous things for you out of the blue, not because they have to, but because they want to see you smile.

2. We are good listeners.

Cancers can sometimes be quiet, but that just makes them a good person to talk to. Have a problem that you want to talk to someone about it? Cancers are the perfect people to turn to when you want a listening ear. Oftentimes, my friends come to me to talk about their problems, and I'm happy to listen and try and give them advice.

3. We are the perfect planners.

I love planning trip with my friends, and I'm usually the one to do the planning. Even though, I know I can be a little bossy, I'm doing what I think will be best for everyone. Cancers are usually very detailed oriented and organized, so they are great at planning events and trips.

4. Our loyalty is unmatched.

Cancers are fiercely loyal and protective of people they care about. As long as my friends have proven that they can be trusted, I stay loyal to them. And if a friend is having a bad day or is upset about something that someone did, Cancers try to do what they can to make them feel better.

5. We're better than you think at reading people.

Cancers usually pick up pretty quick on other's emotions. So don't even try to hide your feelings, the Cancer will already know, and they will patiently wait until you feel comfortable enough to open up. This also means that they are good at listening to their "gut-feelings." If a Cancer friend has a bad feeling about that creep that you are talking to in the bar, they will be the first to pull you away and make their concerns known. Cancers are often always looking out for their friends and loved ones.

6. We are some of the most imaginative people you know.

Cancers like to dream a lot, and they have a big imagination. This makes them great writers and artists. Things that allow them to be imaginative and creative, and things that allow Cancers to flourish.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.
