This is a blog that was inspired from conversations on Facebook about zodiac signs. This article states that because of the earth's wobble, zodiac signs are off and you may have a different zodiac sign. I have heard that some say that this starts to apply only after a certain year, so it is possible that this might not even apply to us. However, even with what this article says, I have been a Gemini for 17 years and I plan to still call myself one. I have noticed over the years, that there are some people who truly do fit their zodiac signs, myself included. There are those who say that zodiac signs are pointless and don't really tell us anything about ourselves, but I think Zodiac signs have different purposes now then when they were first started. Today people can receive what will happen to them that day because of their zodiac sign. Now I don't think those things are 100% accurate because they make them quite vague. However there are occassional times where it is fun to go and see what it says about what will happen. I think zodiac signs have transformed more into a fun thing for people like fortune readings and not a scientific thing based off what constellation was in the sky when you were born. So I would like to hear what you all think about zodiac signs. Do they apply to your life? Do you think they are a bunch of nonsense? Would you be mad if you found out this wobble changed your zodiac sign and you are now something else?
P.S. I have nothing against those who are Taurus, but I will not be changing my zodiac sign to that anytime soon!

Education
This post will be quite random to some of you, but as for me, this is what has been on my mind as of late.
Over the last couple of months school subjects have become more and more interrelated, or at least in my opinion. During this year certain topics haven't just been talked about in only one class, but two or even several other classes. For instance, one of the chapters in Outliers, ended up making its way into discussion for my Child Psychology class on concerted cultivation. I happen to enjoy seeing certain topics being brought into other classes and having them connect together in some way. Reflecting back on previous years in highschool, I feel that topics and themes didn't crossover into other subjects, math stayed with math, english with english, and so on and so on. Now either I wasn't aware of enough knowledge back then to make the connections, or they just really haven't happened until this year and somewhat of last year. The information in my classes seem to be taught differently as well. Most of my classes seem to have a more of a laid back purpose than in previous years. Sort of hoping that we can take some of what we learn this year into college for the next four years. Due to this purpose, I think it allows the subjects to merge, because at this age we have gained a lot of knowledge on several different subjects and know enough to make connections so as to think of things on a larger scale. I feel the merging of subjects as a gate way of some sort into college, because college for the most part will be geared more to our career, than extra classes that we have to take. I hope that this will continue into college because I find it more beneficial and more relateable to life.
On a side note, 85 days left of school not including finals! :)
