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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
