HOROSCOPES Today’s Birthday (04/15/14): Your creative year launches with today’s fullmoon lunar eclipse, impacting partnerships and agreements. You see newly what’s important. Collaborate for good causes. Beautify your home this springtime, and invite people over. Review plans and structures with Pluto retrograde (until 9/23). Travel or launch after 5/20. August heats up the fun. Relax before autumn revelations provide new opportunities and freedom. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — The lunar eclipse begins a new phase in a partnership. It could get spicy. Independent efforts advance. Consider your deepest commitments. Family matters could vie with work for your attention. Use wisdom, not credit. Avoid travel and expense. Handle paperwork, and then go play. TAISHA FORD/THE DAILY WILDCAT

How is your semester? Pretty good so far, just doing normal stuff right now. I just got through midterms recently and now finals.
What do you do now that it’s warmer out? Take my dogs out to the dog park like two or three times a day and try to run at least a mile and a half twice a week.
Do you have a favorite memory from the semester? Not yet, to be honest. It was pretty exciting watching the Wildcats make it far in the tournament, but it didn’t end too well.
Do you have a favorite movie? I have been watching a lot of movies right now and I recently watched the “Godfather” series over. They’re probably some of the best movies I have ever seen.
What are your plans for the summer? I’ll be here working two jobs, saving up to come back next year.
