Tarot & Me

...and the path that has led me to the calm within

Tarot & Me
Sydney Major

I'm new to spirituality, but I've always been interested in it. I've always felt a calling towards it. I remember I was 13 years old when I got my first tarot deck; it was a miniature version of the Rider Waite tarot. I have since lost that desk due to me being careless, but I also feel as if I wasn't ready to delve into that aspect of my life yet. Now I feel closer to reaching my higher self and being in tune with the world around me. My tarot cards guide me, and through them my spirit guides offer me wisdom. It's really calming to use them, and sometimes they're scary accurate to my question. Spirituality has brought me closer with myself and helped me know myself more than I ever have. I'm still a beginner to the whole idea, but I feel that this is the right path that I am to take.

You can have as many decks as you want. I always pick out the ones that call out to me, the ones that want to be held. My first deck was an Egyptian themed one. I still use it, but my main deck that I connect to is The Wild Unknown. The art is beautiful and I can feel the vibrations in them. When you pick a card, your energy picks what it vibrates to. I feel so much energy with this deck that it's hard for me to use my other ones. If I haven't used the others in a while I have to charge them by putting a crystal on top of them so they can recharge. I also don't let many people touch my deck because when another touches your own deck, their energy gets absorbed into the cards. I only let close friend touch them. If I do a reading for someone, I have to ask within if I feel like I can let them put their energy into it.

I can understand when people say they don't believe it. What I believe, though, is in the Law of Attraction. The vibrations of the cards call out to you whether or not you sense it. Energy is all around us; energy cannot be destroyed. Whether or not you can sense this energy, it is always around us. It takes time to become grounded and feel what is right for you, no matter what you follow or find true for yourself. I've found calmness in tarot and spirituality, and I know in my heart and soul that this is the path I am to take. Everyone interprets the cards the way they see it themselves. Whatever reaches out to you that you feel is the meaning is the meaning. I feel the vibration from what I see in the cards and it guides me to a different understanding.

Usually when a card keeps showing up for me, I know that my guides are trying to say something. The Hanged Man has been my card for a few months now. What I feel it telling me is that I need to let go of something. When I think about it, I know that there has been negativity that I've been holding on to that should have been let go a while ago. It's hard to let go of something that you hold so dear to you, but in time I will be able to. It used to come up a lot when I was holding on to the death of my dad, and it took me some time to be at peace with the situation. Now, though, I know it's about another relationship in my life that is not good for me at the time. With my cards, they help me realize other things that I might not see in true color.

Tarot is a big part of my life. I feel happy to have it help me because I accept what they try to tell me. I believe that my spirit guides are here to help me, and even though it is taking me some time to fully be aware of everything, I will get there. Everyone has their own path, and I'm happy to have found my calling and to be able to follow what feels right for me.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
