Why I Love Astrology

Oh, you're that sign? Interesting

Why I Love Astrology

There are two kinds of people: the people who like astrology and those who think astrology is bull. If you’re one of those people who thinks astrology is nonsense, fine. I’m sorry you are boring and have no imagination, and I’m sorry you have no fun. If anyone knows me, they know that I am a big fan of astrology. I verbally express it and wear my taurus symbol as much as i can. I find this topic so fascinating because its interesting to see how the exact time you were born affects your personality or life. Many people find it stupid, but I find it incredible how everything is written in the stars.

I was born on the 16th of May, and am identified as a classic Taurus. They're stubborn, very sensual, and the most loyal people you will ever meet. Tauren are also careful, patient, and materialistic. On a darker note, Taurus' can be stubborn, insensitive, self-indulgent, and did I mention stubborn? (check, check, and double check). We don't get along with Libras -- which I think explains why I legitimately have no Libra friends. Taurus is an earth sign, and I tend to get along with more of the earthy signs like Virgo and Capricorn.

When my friends and I analyze people based on their zodiac signs, people shrug their shoulders and judge our nerdy conversations. But for me, astrology helps me identify and appreciate the unique qualities of the people I know. It helps me make sense of people in a way. I don’t find it coincidental that in my life I am surrounded by Pisces, or that I tend to be attracted to Aries -- they are definitely hot heads, and being a stubborn Taurus, I love the challenge they give me. Most Leos are sexual as hell, and Capricorns are the most hardworking people know, and I just can’t get a handle at all on Aquarians or Libras. Regardless, I always find it helpful to know someone’s sign.

I’ve never been the most rational of people and, honestly, I wouldn’t want to be. It’s much more interesting for me see the world as a place with the ambiguity of magic and mystery. People like astrology because it’s fun, it’s an explanation for every day life, and it makes people feel in touch with forces larger than they could even imagine. You know, like stars, planets and cosmos!

Ever since I was little, I loved space, and learning the planets. Remember the acronym? My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos (or Nine Pizzas, because I'm still in denial about Pluto). But, anyway, I loved space and not fully knowing what's out there. And astrology connects the two "worlds" together; it gives me a realization to why essentially people are different.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
