The Truth Behind "HORRORscopes"
Horoscopes

Are you having a bad day? Are you looking for the reason why you can't get over it or deal with the issue head on? There may just be a solution or a more common assumed solution just for you.

Statistics from upi.com show that within the last four years, horoscope readings have become more common, especially upon people ranging from ages 18-24. So, technically speaking, in the the break-up or even new relationship you're in can all be boiled down to one search right on your phone in the eyes of today's young generation.

Horoscopes used to be used to determine fate when it came to life situations or to just give a daily outlook on what a person can look forward to by the end of the day. The idea of the horoscope has definitely changed.

Horoscopes today give reasons why love either works or doesn't, advice on why a person feels the way they do on a specific day or why something occurred when it did.

The thought of one idea based off astrology being able to connect to every person in the world who has the same zodiac sign seems a bit over the top, wouldn't you say?

It's difficult to answer a question such as this when there are people worldwide who feel like their life is either coming to an end or going to be a fairy tale off of reading one perspective. Answer this: how legit can it truly be for each and every person on planet Earth?

So what does it take for people to be more realistic when it comes to their own lives?

RULE #1 : STOP FEEDING INTO THE HOROSCOPES ! Horoscopes are general, not personalized.

RULE #2 : Try to stay away from the superstition, live through your experiences and learn from them, both good and bad.

RULE #3 : If you're that concerned or tempted to know the reasoning behind what you're going through, find a relaxing hobby that can get your mind juices flowing and figure out realistic reasoning on your own.

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.

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?
