Tarot Cards: Accurate Or Not?

There has been a phenomenon for quite a while about tarot cards. Tarot cards are a set a playing cards that each have their meaning and are typically used for gaining answers from the spiritual world above. The Tarot cards each depict certain aspects and characteristics of life. Some symbolize the past, present, or future. Every spiritual lesson we experience in our lives is represented in the seventy-eight Tarot cards that come in a deck. When using Tarot cards, one usually asks a specific question they want help being answered, and with the help of their intuition, they pick a turned over card that they are drawn to. Tarot cards are used to connect with your subconscious. Usually the card you end up choosing ends up being what your subconscious is trying to tell you.

Growing up, my mother always used to talk about her Tarot cards, and she had stacks of them in her room. Every time she tried to do a reading for me, I brushed her off because I mistook it as a fortune telling. Tarot cards cannot accurately predict what will happen in the near or far future, but they do shed light on what you have to do to obtain the goals you have set for yourself.

For example, I can ask the question, "How can I attract love?" as opposed to, "Will I meet someone this month?" With this question, whatever card I pull, is a sign of how I can attract new love and I can envision my desired relationship and manifest it. Everyone has intuition or gut feeling, but many of us don't take the time to understand and listen to it. There have been numerous occasions where something doesn't feel right, and if I had listened to my intuition, I feel I would have been able to handle the situation better. Tarot card readings should not be taken too. It should act as calling upon our inner wisdom, or Higher Self, to act as a guide on how to improve ourselves and get in touch with our desires.

I highly recommend purchasing a deck of Tarot Cards and finding a quiet place to get in touch with your subconscious to help with any worries or problems in your life. You can do it with a friend or by yourself. In each Tarot Card deck, there is a booklet which explains what all the cards mean, and you should refer to it after pulling one. After every reading, I always feel more at ease and inspired to work towards living a positive, happy life, and I hope you do too!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
