When someone asks your astrology sign, they are asking for your sun sign. There is a lot more to your astrological makeup than your sun sign!

Many people don't believe they fit into the stereotype of their astrological sign. This is due to the fact that there's a lot more in play than just your sun sign.

Your sun sign is based off of your date of birth. Your moon sign is determined by not only your date of birth, but also by the time and location of your birth. Another difference between your sun and moon sign is that, while your sun sign denotes your astrological personality, your moon sign denotes your inner moods and emotions. The two work hand-in-hand to compose your emotional makeup.

You can find out your full birth chart on any astrological calculator, easily found online. All astrological complexes use the same terminology as the sun signs. Here is the breakdown of what each moon sign typically means:

1. Aquarius Moon Sign

You strive off of friendship, and you need a common cause in your life and in your relationships.

2. Pisces Moon Sign

You need fantasy, compassion, and creativity in all aspects of your life.

3. Aries Moon Sign

You like challenges and action. You often need to be the "first" to do something.

4. Taurus Moon Sign

You need stability, both emotionally and physically.

5. Gemini Moon Sign

You need constant communication from everyone in your social circle. You often get bored if conversations aren't stimulating.

6. Cancer Moon Sign

You require safety and seek comfort. You can seek comfort in certain foods, surroundings, or comfy clothes.

7. Leo Moon Sign

You are constantly thriving for attention and affection. You love glamour and the more materialistic things to show off in social situations.

8. Virgo Moon Sign

You are much like Gemini when it comes to stimulating conversations; the difference is that you need to feel as if you helpful to all.

9. Libra Moon Sign

Your surroundings need to be in harmony and contain beauty. You are a very aesthetically-inclined person.

10. Scorpio Moon Sign

You are more of a private person. You are also constantly searching to be apart of a "power-duo" relationship.

11. Sagittarius Moon Sign

You constantly seek adventure in even the smallest tasks. You also try to surround yourself with variety in many aspects.

12. Capricorn Moon Sign

You strive for longevity. You are constantly trying to create something that will last far past your years; this is also very true when it comes to your legacy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
