Why Being A Cancer Is Awesome

Cancers may be moody and sensitive, but there's so many other good things about cancers.

Why Being A Cancer Is Awesome
Julia Sanders

My birthday is on June 24, which means that my zodiac sign is the notorious Crabby Cancer. I might be a little bias, but cancers are freaking awesome. In the past, I've heard all the negative comments about my zodiac sign: "Oh you must be super sensitive." or "That means you are moody." For people born a Cancer (as they have a birthday from June 21- July 22), they probably have heard some of the same stuff. But that doesn't mean that being a Cancer is all bad. The following is a list of the best things about being born a Cancer.

1. We are empathetic.

Cancers often get a bad rap for being "too sensitive." However, this only means that we care about people who we are close to, and we care about other people's feelings. Just because we care, doesn't mean it's its a bad thing. The world needs people who care like Cancers do. Cancers will go out of their way to see your perspective, so to better understand you. And they will do generous things for you out of the blue, not because they have to, but because they want to see you smile.

2. We are good listeners.

Cancers can sometimes be quiet, but that just makes them a good person to talk to. Have a problem that you want to talk to someone about it? Cancers are the perfect people to turn to when you want a listening ear. Oftentimes, my friends come to me to talk about their problems, and I'm happy to listen and try and give them advice.

3. We are the perfect planners.

I love planning trip with my friends, and I'm usually the one to do the planning. Even though, I know I can be a little bossy, I'm doing what I think will be best for everyone. Cancers are usually very detailed oriented and organized, so they are great at planning events and trips.

4. Our loyalty is unmatched.

Cancers are fiercely loyal and protective of people they care about. As long as my friends have proven that they can be trusted, I stay loyal to them. And if a friend is having a bad day or is upset about something that someone did, Cancers try to do what they can to make them feel better.

5. We're better than you think at reading people.

Cancers usually pick up pretty quick on other's emotions. So don't even try to hide your feelings, the Cancer will already know, and they will patiently wait until you feel comfortable enough to open up. This also means that they are good at listening to their "gut-feelings." If a Cancer friend has a bad feeling about that creep that you are talking to in the bar, they will be the first to pull you away and make their concerns known. Cancers are often always looking out for their friends and loved ones.

6. We are some of the most imaginative people you know.

Cancers like to dream a lot, and they have a big imagination. This makes them great writers and artists. Things that allow them to be imaginative and creative, and things that allow Cancers to flourish.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
