What Astrology Reveals About You

Based on your zodiac sign.

What is astrology?

The word astrology combines the roots Astro- and -ology. It is a greek word which means 'knowledge or "science", translating to knowledge of the stars. However, there is a difference between astronomy and astrology. Moreover, Astronomy is a science while Astrology is fortune telling.

"According to astrology, the period of the year which each sign of the zodiac dominates is determined by the time in which the Sun is "in" its corresponding constellation. "

Therefore, unfortunately, as fun as it sounds, it is not actually possible to observe a zodiacal constellation in the night sky during the time its sign is dominant. So, you're probably thinking, when can I see my zodiacal constellation? You can look for your constellation in the exact opposite time of the year of it's dominance.

Is your birthdate on a cusp?

to be born on a cusp means you were born on the first or last day of a Sun sign. Moreover, you will relate and benefit from reading both your own sun sign as well as the Sun sign that precedes or follows your date of birth. In other words, it is likely that you would likely have traits from the two zodiac signs that connect at your birthdate.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
