This Week's Horoscope (9/22/13 - 9/28/13)

I have begun to write horoscopes for one of my college's newspapers.  Below you can find a link to the horoscopes on the newspaper's website:

Virgo Physical Features

Like the other signs, Virgos are also given away by their physical features.  Typically, Virgos have very ovular, sometimes nearly rectangular, shaped faces that are thick and filled-out with their jaw and cheek bones wide-set.  From their foreheads down to the ends of their jaws where their necks begin there tends to be a straightness or continuation in their faces, essentially a straight line that neither curves nor turns obliquely.  Virgos also put on weight very easily and have trouble losing weight, so they tend to be on the thicker side more often, though they are rarely to the extent of being obese.  I say this lightly, they tend to have "watery" eyes; I mean this as in their eyes tend to be very colorful or change colors and look like what you'd expect someone with a Pisces, or other water sign, personality to have.  Below are some examples of famous Virgo faces:

Some Tips on Surviving Freshman Year of College

*Keep in mind that this post is being made from someone who literally just finished her freshman year attending a women's college.

*Potentially a work in progress post.

1.  If you don't think you'll wear it more than once, don't pack it - as a rule for packing clothing and shoes and coats

2.  Bring good rain boots (well if you're attending college in a normally rainy climate)!!!  They were the most useful and most worn pair of shoes I brought! - by "good" I mean quality rain boots that won't leak or fall apart (it's worth spending the extra money)

3.  Purchase healthy snacks to keep in your room - unhealthy foods, like chips weigh you down and don't provide the necessary study/homework fuel

4.  Get a refrigerator!  Even if your hall has a communal fridge and your school typically follows a social honor code, people tend forget their manners when it comes to food; they will steal your food and make it gross...get your own fridge.

5.  Buy layers to wear under your pants if you're attending college in a cold climate; nobody will notice them and it keeps you warm on your treks across campus to class

6.  Participate in school traditions (even if that's just attending football games)!

7.  Find time for leisurely reading and try not to find out about more television shows to watch online (you'll spend WAY too much time doing that)

8.  Keep medicines around that you would find in most homes, like Pepto, Tums, cough drops, Advil, etc.

9.  Bring a bathing suit, beach towel, and sunscreen - you never know when you may have the opportunity to use these things

10. If you have silly theme clothing, like a grass skirt, bring them!  There are lots of themed parties.

11. Bring your own computer.

12. Don't be afraid to try new things, but remember to put your foot down if you don't want to try something.
13. Never keep more than $20-30 on you at any time because you'll spend it too quickly.
