Horoscopes: Real or Fake?

There may be some truth behind them.

Horoscopes: Real or Fake?

Every day, when I have time, I always read Cosmo on Snapchat. Every Monday the writers post horoscopes for the week, and I always check mine. I don't really believe in the whole horoscope thing, but I am curious as to see what my week COULD be like. Anyways, the other day my friend and I were talking about things that happened over the weekend and she mentioned that her horoscope said similar things to what actually happened. Naturally, I became curious and checked my own horoscope for the past week and realized that it was ON POINT. I was so shocked.

There were things that were said that could be related to specific things that had happened that weekend. I know some people are really against this kind of stuff, but you have to admit that there is always a little bit of the horoscope that you can relate back to something that has happened in your life, and that's extremely concerning.


I was kind of freaked out for a second because it made me think that maybe I should really take into account what my horoscope says every week. There is something I find so fascinating about horoscopes. Even though I know better than to believe everything they say, but it does make me question that a little when the horoscope ends up being completely true. I've decided now that I am going to try a little experiment over the next few weeks.

At the beginning of every week I am going to look at my horoscope and make sure I save it to my phone, and at the end of every week I am going to look back at it to see if anything that the horoscope said ended up being true or not. I'm really curious about the whole astrology and horoscope thing. I don't really understand it and I think that's why it's so fascinating. I want to know the method behind a horoscope, like how does whoever writes these come to the conclusion that a Gemini (or whatever star sign you are) should look out for these certain things in a week? I've been to a palm reader before and she could tell that I was a little skeptical about it going in, but I found that this random person who knew nothing about me actually said things that were true to my life. How is that even possible? How do they do it?


I really want to get a full psychic reading just to see how accurate it would be, also sometimes I feel like that could clear my head a little, even though I know it might be nonsense. However, there are real people out there that actually believe they have some sort of sixth sense, which is so creepy. It's not like "That's So Raven," like these people can talk to the dead and creepy stuff like that. I am just wondering how they do it?

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?
