Why Astrology Is Important To Me

Beliefs can be controversial, but acceptance stays true.

This is a time of psychological and emotional equilibrium when the different aspects of your personality are in tune with each other.

This is how my daily horoscope began today.

The importance of a horoscope is immeasurable. This is important to me. This is an important way to begin my day, especially on Monday’s. Your horoscopes and astrology readings may seem like nonsense to a good majority of the world, however, to begin your day with preparation and perspective is important, and personally, better than the contrary.

Astrology is known as Pseudo-psychology, which is a psychological practice that is false or unfounded. To ‘predict’ events and situations is a science not based on principles, such as research and evidence. This area of study has still yet to be empirically studied making it a controversial subject.

I have come to realize that people love to believe in something, whether that be in religion, in politics, in science etc. Supporting beliefs brings meaning to living, in my opinion. What is the point of obtaining an education, working for a living, or having an emotion if it wasn’t for a greater purpose and for yourself ?

I am not one to devote myself to individual beliefs. I would not consider myself a republican, democrat, or independent, Christian, Atheist, scientist, agnostic etc. I consider myself an individual who has a particular outlook on life, and part of that outlook recognizes astrology and embraces its guidance.

So, why is astrology important?

Astrology is important to me because it gives me perspective on the bigger picture. The fact that non-living aspects of life could be the definition of my existence makes me incredibly curious about what else could be possible. It’s so interesting that astrology is the oldest among sciences and still the least is known about it. Life began with the cosmos, and life continues to strive. I believe that astrology functions upon nature's law. Our present lives are made up of our own actions (mistakes/successes) from the past, which only can be balanced out by our present decisions. “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” I believe this to be 100 percent true. Yes, some and/or most of you could entirely disagree with me, but acceptance of a belief is how our nation should strive. We’re here because there is a bigger picture, whether or not people perceive it differently. I think that astrology and astronomy are the basis of how our world came to be.

Everyone has their own opinion, which they are entitled to. My beliefs are crucial to my life, and that should be the same for anyone. Stand up for what you believe in, dive into the knowledge of your beliefs, and share that intelligence with the world. Nothing is more attractive than moral courage and independence. Too often moral courage is confused with preaching and limiting the rights of others, when respect towards people’s beliefs is what is so important. Encourage others to become experts and knowledgeable in their belief, because it gives you a purpose greater than you could ever even imagine.

You can claim to be anything. You can claim to be right. I challenge you to claim to be accepting and to live for what you believe in.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
