The Truth Behind "HORRORscopes"
Horoscopes

Are you having a bad day? Are you looking for the reason why you can't get over it or deal with the issue head on? There may just be a solution or a more common assumed solution just for you.

Statistics from upi.com show that within the last four years, horoscope readings have become more common, especially upon people ranging from ages 18-24. So, technically speaking, in the the break-up or even new relationship you're in can all be boiled down to one search right on your phone in the eyes of today's young generation.

Horoscopes used to be used to determine fate when it came to life situations or to just give a daily outlook on what a person can look forward to by the end of the day. The idea of the horoscope has definitely changed.

Horoscopes today give reasons why love either works or doesn't, advice on why a person feels the way they do on a specific day or why something occurred when it did.

The thought of one idea based off astrology being able to connect to every person in the world who has the same zodiac sign seems a bit over the top, wouldn't you say?

It's difficult to answer a question such as this when there are people worldwide who feel like their life is either coming to an end or going to be a fairy tale off of reading one perspective. Answer this: how legit can it truly be for each and every person on planet Earth?

So what does it take for people to be more realistic when it comes to their own lives?

RULE #1 : STOP FEEDING INTO THE HOROSCOPES ! Horoscopes are general, not personalized.

RULE #2 : Try to stay away from the superstition, live through your experiences and learn from them, both good and bad.

RULE #3 : If you're that concerned or tempted to know the reasoning behind what you're going through, find a relaxing hobby that can get your mind juices flowing and figure out realistic reasoning on your own.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
