Horoscopes: Communication is key

Libra season is far from over, and it’s the perfect time to practice our communication skills. Libras are terrified of confrontation, so it’s important to be proactive and not fall into this vicious cycle of people-pleasing. This is a perfect excuse to download a new social media platform where you can be unapologetically yourself.

Twitter is the perfect place to share your controversial takes, academic opinions and meaningless streams of consciousness, especially now that YikYak is essentially over. And Grinnell Twitter? Even better. Tweeting with your peers is a fun way to dish about the intra-campus drama in a casual way.

Imagine a place where you can follow celebrities, politicians and peers. Through my interaction with Grinnell Twitter, I’ve gotten advice, made close friends and had two dates. It’s a bottomless pit where I’ve made some seemingly random but meaningful connections.

So go out this month, party hard and find a way to connect with people, whether that be in real life or online. A good way to keep in touch with casual acquaintances or even blow off some steam is to send some rambling texts at 3 a.m.
