PICTURE PERFECT:

TOP SPOTS TO TAKE GRADUATION PHOTOS

JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

A ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

fter a grueling four years, graduation is almost here. All that’s left to do is to document your achievement through photos.

While posing for graduation pictures might be the last thing on your checklist, it’s a fun way to seal the deal on your college years.

You can send prints or links to all your friends and family, plus you’ll always have them to remember that time you spent four years learning to be a fullblown adult. Taking the pictures is the easy part, but choosing where to shoot them might take some thought. If you’re having some trouble scoping out your

ideal location, consider these picturesque spots that’ll make your photos stand out from the rest.

ON CAMPUS This one is a given. One of the best and most obvious places to snap photos of you donning your cap and gown is right on college grounds. From iconic spots on campus like the front of the school, library, cafeteria and football stadium to hidden areas like old buildings, stairs and water fountains—the possibilities are endless. Also, if you’re part of a sports team or club on campus, you can use these areas to help tell the story you want to convey in your photos.

AROUND TOWN If you’re looking for a more unique shoot location, try thinking of places around town that will remind you of your college experience. Whether it’s that coffee shop where you spent countless nights doing homework, your favorite afterschool hangout spot, or in front of the mural you passed by every time you walked to class, nothing is off limits. You can be as artsy as you wish.

IN NATURE If you’re one with nature, taking your grad photos in the great outdoors might be more your style. The advantage of

this option is you can always get better pictures when you take advantage of natural light.

You’ll also never run out of charming locations—especially in Arizona. Try traveling to the outskirts of town and use the desert landscape as your background. You may prefer to head to a scenic destination like the Desert Botanical Garden, Japanese Friendship Garden or the many nature-filled parks located throughout the Valley.

IN A STUDIO Sometimes, going to an oldfashioned photography studio can result in some beautiful portraits. While this option isn’t necessarily new and

innovative, a studio allows the photographer to play around with more props, backdrops and styles—all in one place. In the controlled environment of a studio, it is also easier for the photographer to manipulate the light, which means you’ll always come out picture-perfect no matter the time of day. Plus, you can sneak in a professional headshot for your upcoming employment search.

way to make a statement on graduation day. Get crafty with your cap by adorning it with glitter, a favorite inspirational quote or something related to your major.

Don’t forget to clean up your social media pages for future employers.

PARTY IT UP

Y

ou’re almost at the finish line! Now, it’s time to cross things off the graduation checklist. Graduation traditions are different for everyone. If you want to savor every last bit of college, consider taking photos, sharing announcements and figuring out a way to decorate your cap creatively. If your only goal is to get that diploma in your hands and get the heck out of dodge, it’s never too early to start preparing for the future.

Whatever you choose to do, we’re proud of you, graduate. Warning: Becoming an adult may come with confidence, self-sufficiency and newfound sense of optimism.

TAKE GRAD PHOTOS If you want to document your time in college while donning a cap and gown, graduation photos are a great way to go. These are typically taken by a professional photographer in an iconic campus location such as an

academic building, or at a secret place like your favorite study spot. Send these photos out as keepsakes for friends and family with your graduation announcements.

START THE COUNTDOWN If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the madness that is the last semester, consider starting a

countdown to give yourself a goal. There are apps out there that will show you how many days are left until graduation, but you can also set mental reminders.

GET CRAFTY WITH YOUR CAP It’s an age-old tradition to decorate your mortarboard. It will help family be able to spot you in the crowd, plus it’s a fun

FOR THE NONTRADITIONAL GRADUATE: FINISH STRONG If end-of-year activities and grad fairs aren’t for you, that’s OK. Take these last few weeks to focus on what’s most important—graduating. Spend a little extra time in the library finishing up projects, chat with your professors about lastminute details and focus on your objective.

PREPARE FOR YOUR PROFESSION This is a great time to prep for what’s ahead. Even if you don’t want to take graduation photos, investing in a few

ADVENTURE ABROAD If you don’t have a job lined up post-graduation, don’t fret.

Just because you’re a graduate doesn’t mean you have to go straight into the corporate world. After four long years, take some time to relax. Instead of a graduation party, you can book a flight somewhere new and learn about yourself.

Traveling is a great way to broaden your horizons and figure out the next step.

ANNOUNCE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS If you happen to have a job lined up after the big day, let friends and family know! A big celebration might not be needed, but even posting the new position on social media will make you feel a real sense of accomplishment.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

FOR THE TRADITIONAL GRADUATE:

We live in a fast-paced society, and sometimes it’s hard to get together with the family if you’re busy 24/7. Take graduation as an opportunity to reunite with family you haven’t seen all year. If you hail from another state, throwing a graduation party is a great excuse to get all of the family in one place—to celebrate this prestigious moment.

CAMPAIGN FOR CHANGE:

ASU ALUMNA RUNNING FOR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

MORGAN GLASSCO

ALYSSA HESKETH • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

ATHENA SALMAN

A

SU alumna Athena Salman has an undeniable ardor for immigration reform. The eagerness to represent others

and express her own voice led Salman to run for the House of Representatives in District 26.

“I want to see elected leaders welcome immigrants with open arms,” Salman says.

“That is something I have always been passionate about.”

Salman’s family migrated to the United States in the 1970s; her grandmother is from Germany and her grandfather was born in Mexico. As a first-generation American— and the first in her family to graduate college—her passion for helping the racially diverse stems from her background.

Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, when Salman was in middle school, she heard her teachers express their support for attacking the Middle East.

Salman then understood what it felt like to stand out because of race when her friend’s uncle—who is of Middle Eastern descent—was killed after the attacks. She has used that experience to build on her campaign, and help individuals who are diverse in race and culture.

Her passion for racial issues grew even more in her senior year at ASU, when Arizona Senate Bill 1070 was introduced. The bill requires police to determine the immigration status of those placed under arrest—if there is reasonable suspicion.

“People believed the bill was focused on Latinos. After the bill’s introduction to the Senate, I connected with a

nonprofit organization and helped increase Latino voting by 500%,” Salman says.

The bill passed in 2010, but Salman was able to help Latinos express their own voice surrounding the issue.

After graduating from ASU with a Bachelor of Science in economics and political science, Salman went on to help Girl Scouts of America in Flagstaff.

Once Salman discovered that less than 15 of the 260 girls she was supporting were Latinas, she decided to begin working toward finding more opportunities to allow Latina community engagement.

“If we just let hate and lack of tolerance for diversity go unchecked, that will have a

strong negative impact on our world.”

She stands behind the belief that everyone deserves respect and acceptance, no matter their race.

Salman wants college students to know that they are capable of making a difference.

Salman intends to build on these goals if she is elected.

The primary election is August 30, while the general election is November 8.

“Young people could make such a huge difference in our community,” she says. “If we pull the community together and show our support for one another.”

Moving Out and Moving On! HOW TO DOWNSIZE AFTER COLLEGE NICOLE CHOKSI • COLLEGE TIMES

M

oving into a college dorm means fitting all of your worldly possessions into about 200 square feet of living space. Now, after four years of college, that itty-bitty room is probably full of junk you don’t need.

After college is over, there are plenty of reasons to downsize–like moving back home, traveling to an internship in another state or even moving into a smaller place. Bringing too many belongings will just make moving more stressful, especially if they don’t fit in your new abode.

As crazy as downsizing from an already-small space may seem, it is possible to accomplish. Plus, getting rid of unused school supplies, worthless freebies and piles of old essays is good for the soul.

Here are a few key things to remember when it comes to downsizing after college.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE

S C O T T S D A L E

The process of packing up an apartment is not something that can be done overnight, and procrastinating will only make it worse. If there are items you can live without until the move, try packing them in advance to make the transition smoother.

BE ORGANIZED When beginning the packing process, the best thing to have is a systematized plan of attack. Label each box to make unpacking easier, box up items in categories and make sure to wrap fragile items. As far as downsizing goes, label things you want to give away, sell, throw away or donate.

DON’T GET ATTACHED TO THE LITTLE THINGS

All utilities included • FREE Cable & Wi-fi • Close to ASU & Freeways

When you are packing, don’t assume that you have to keep everything. Think of this new place as a fresh start—and a place to make all—new memories. There’s no need to have every memory from college stuffed into boxes. Plus, there are probably underclassmen who will want your extra textbooks or campus clothing.

PARTYING WITH A PURPOSE

THE 2COURTIERS CAPITALIZE ON FESTIVAL ECONOMICS DAMIR LOLIC • COLLEGE TIMES

L

Thomas Turner.

“He loved our ideas, but told us it would be too costly,” Maxson reveals.

The rejection wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The two pals kicked things into overdrive and set out in search of sponsorships and vendors. Initially, the duo worked from home or rented conference rooms—just about any place they could find to devise plans for a prized festival.

“We even worked from my ex-girlfriend’s house until she kicked us out,” says Wiseman with a laugh.

At the end of the six months, Maxson and Wiseman garnered $15,000 in sponsors and vendors for the Wet Electric 2015 event.

“They (Relentless Beats) took notice and rewarded us with offices of our own,” Maxson says.

That summer, the duo

traveled to eight different EDM festivals in 10 weeks to generate leads and make connections—all paid for by Relentless Beats.

Maxson and Wiseman tapped top brands looking to sponsor ideas of innovative folks in the ever-growing festival world, according to Maxson.

Festival Fashion The two left Relentless Beats to become contractors for the company after 16 months and formed the 2Courtiers. They organize the festivals, except for the music. For Decadence 2015, the 2Courtiers had stilt walkers, a giant artwalk with painters, an oxygen bar and a lounge equipped with bean bags and fur blankets.

Some of their clients include EDC New York, EDC Las Vegas and Groove Cruise. Wiseman says they are able to tap into

all the resources and maximize their ingenuity.

“A lot of it comes naturally because of our knowledge of the festival scene, but we definitely keep each other on a book diet,” he says about their reading habits. “All the marketing managers are in their 40s and 50s trying to market to the millennials, but we are the millennials.”

For its next event, the 2Courtiers will host The Festival Fashion show at Live on Central on Friday, May 20. Normally, they come in as independent contractors for other festivals, but Festival Fashion is their first branded event.

“All the partners we use to bring into larger mainstream festivals, we’re bringing into a club show now,” Maxson says.

“So it’s like a festival in a club.”

The musical talents will

include local turntablists like DJ Geronimo and DJ Pokoj. There will also be clothing sponsors, a hookah lounge, massage therapy, flow artists practicing object manipulation and two separate flash mob fashion shows.

“We wanted to do it the opposite of how everyone else does,” Wiseman says.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Cadence and Cause to help create Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s first music therapy program.

yle Maxson and Sam Wiseman, otherwise known as the 2Courtiers, have always had a major interest in entertainment. Wiseman has studied music, while Maxson spent the majority of his youth attending festivals and concerts.

The two met in 2013 while interning at College Times and hit it off. Maxson and Wiseman left the magazine and began promoting events for Relentless Beats. The two young men had their pulses on the burgeoning music festival scene.

“We got into it because we see music festivals as being the biggest engines for social change,” Wiseman says.

The 2Courtiers saw their roles at Relentless Beats expanding and teamed up to devise a six-month marketing plan that they could present to CEO

LANDING THE JOB

CAREER TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES ALYSSA TUFTS • COLLEGE TIMES

C

ongrats! You are officially a college graduate. It’s time to get your grad gear and find that dream career.

But first, you have to learn how to prepare. From writing the resume to landing the job, here are some tips to be a successful graduate. Now get out there and put that education to use.

THE RESUME Keep it updated Keep track of your positions, organizations, accomplishments and skills while in college and update it regularly. If you have a digital copy on a website or LinkedIn, make sure that is updated as well.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

22

Tailor it for the job It’s important to tailor your resume to each position you apply for based on the job description. One position may ask for more leadership experience, while another may specify its desire for a certain skill.

Focus on the vocabulary Pay attention to the wording in your resume. Use action verbs that demonstrate your responsibility, and the affect it had on your colleagues and workplace.

Give it personality This document is often the first impression a potential employer has of you, so don’t forget to include your own voice.

Adding a little color can give it some visual interest without overwhelming the page. You can also add taglines that describe you, such as “sustainability enthusiast” or “aspiring business owner.” These can go a long way to show an employer who you are as a person.

THE INTERVIEW Preparation is key Your resume gets you an interview, but the interview gets you the job. It’s important to realize that there are different types of interviews as well.

Some companies have a panel interview, while others may do a video interview if they are out of state.

Research the company Try to educate yourself on the potential employer. When you step into an interview knowing everything there is to know about a company—it will surely impress them.

Practice answering questions The most common interview questions are; “tell me about

yourself,” “what are your strengths and weaknesses?” and “can you describe a time you overcame a challenge and how that impacted you?” Each of these questions tells an employer about your previous experience, work ethic and personality— they want to get to know their potential employee.

Have some questions prepared Asking your potential employer questions only strengthens your application’s status. Plus, this is your opportunity to find out if this is an organization you want to work for.

THE REFERENCES Phone a friend Word of advice regarding references; only request them from people who can speak in detail about your experiences, strengths and character.

Build relationships during school Too many students go through college and neglect this important task. Having a mentor in a professor, work colleague or professional is an excellent way to build a network to help you get a job later on.

Always ask Whenever applying for a position, ask the person before you list them as a reference. If you don’t, they might receive a call from an employer and be caught off guard—not a great impression for the candidate.

Give letters time Letters of recommendation are more time-consuming, so make sure to give your reference plenty of time to write it.

Send them the job description or highlights of important responsibilities so they can

include that in the letter. If you want to ensure they talk about your leadership skills or accomplishments—let them know beforehand.

EXTRA TIP! Don’t forget to clean up your act A “digital footprint,” as it is sometimes called, is kind of like an online resume. What you post online can harm or hurt you in the job application process.

Employers will often use this to see if you are active on social media—and if your presence is appropriate. Remember to never include inappropriate language or pictures of yourself that could affect your chances at receiving a position.

REDBULL GLOBAL

RALLYCROSS TO MAKE PHOENIX DEBUT

P

how to handle an all-wheel drive car at the highest level, and it does it to great effect: Joni Wiman won every race of the inaugural Lites season in 2013, then won the Supercar title as a rookie the very next year.

And while these cars and drivers would be an unapproachable vision in the distance in most other racing series, in Red Bull GRC, even general admission race tickets are a pit pass. Fans can walk the paddock between heats to check out the vehicles as the mechanics prepare, while it’s not uncommon to catch drivers roaming the paddock and catching up with fans of all ages. There’s a serieswide autograph session every weekend, so you’re guaranteed to meet all of the sport’s biggest names.

As a first-time host to Red Bull GRC in 2016, Wild Horse Pass will boast an all-new track for the series, roughly a mile in length and wide open with plenty of passing opportunities.

But facing new tracks is part of the game: track layouts change in the series from year to year, even at returning venues. The driver who figures out the new layout quickest gives their team an upper hand on the rest of the field.

Early bird tickets for Red Bull Global Rallycross Phoenix at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park are on sale through April 16. To purchase, visit redbullglobalrallycross.com/ tickets; to learn more about the series, visit the official website at RedBullGRC.com or follow along on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram at @RedBullGRC.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

hoenix’s reputation as a motorsports hotbed expands even further in 2016 as locals will get to experience the thrill of Red Bull Global Rallycross action for the first time on May 21 and May 22 at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler.

The doubleheader event will serve as the series’ season opener, the first and second of 12 rounds that will take place across the United States this year.

But fans might be surprised at exactly what they get to see.

Rallycross is its own unique breed of motorsport: It isn’t NASCAR, it’s not IndyCar, it’s not the NHRA, and it’s not even short-course racing.

So what, exactly, is Red Bull Global Rallycross?

Imagine international racing superstars strapping into 600-horsepower Supercars.

Imagine them battling side by side over dirt, pavement and 70-foot jumps in frenetic, fast-

paced heat races, with every driver fighting for a spot in the final. Then, imagine a 10-lap, winner-take-all, no-holdsbarred cage match on wheels for the overall victory.

In short, it’s all of the best parts of racing thrown in a blender and served up for fans to enjoy.

Local race fans will recognize many of the teams on hand: they’re owned by such auto racing legends as Chip Ganassi, Michael Andretti and Bryan Herta, among others. But unlike their stock car and open-wheel exploits, the cars they campaign in Red Bull GRC are totally different: Ford Fiestas, Subaru WRX STIs, Honda Civics, and even Volkswagen Beetles that start life on the production line before being outfitted with turbocharged engines and safety advancements.

The drivers come from every possible motorsport or action sport background, from drifting (Tanner Foust) to freestyle motocross (Brian Deegan) all the way to skateboarding (Bucky Lasek).

Defending Supercar champion Scott Speed, who races for Andretti’s two-car Volkswagen squad alongside Foust, has 26 Formula 1 starts and multiple years in NASCAR under his belt.

But the Supercar stars aren’t the only drivers on track—also competing is the spec GRC Lites class, Red Bull GRC’s equivalent to the minor leagues. In Lites, it’s all about driver talent, as each driver races a spec vehicle with roughly half the horsepower of its Supercar counterpart.

It’s designed to teach drivers

ENTERTAINMENT THE CAT’S MEOW

‘KEANU’ BRINGS KEY AND PEELE TO THE BIG SCREEN TIM J. RANDALL • COLLEGE TIMES

K

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

28

eegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have given a new name to the buddy action comedy genre: “Keanu.”

Key and Peele, who starred in the Comedy Central sketch series as Key & Peele, star as Clarence and Rell, two cousins who live in the city but who are far from streetwise in the R-rated movie.

When Rell’s beloved kitten, Keanu, is “catnapped,” the straight-laced pair pose as ruthless killers to infiltrate a street gang and retrieve their baby. But the incredibly adorable kitten becomes so coveted that the fight over his custody creates a gang war, forcing the duo to take the law into their own hands. The villain, Cheddar, is played by actor-rapper Method Man. “The movie is about wish fulfillment,” Peele says during a recent teleconference call to advance the movie, which was released on Friday, April 29. “It’s about the high stakes world that the characters dream about when they watch Liam Neeson films. It’s like Key

and I in real life—we want to be bad asses.”

“Key & Peele,” which aired through the fall of 2015, catapulted the duo onto the big screen.

“We thought about having a Key and Peele movie at the ready if anyone came asking,” says Key. “Our passion is action films, particularly those of the 1980s and 1990s that have action with lots of laughs, or comedies with a lot of violence and action. These pictures have a great tone that we wanted to celebrate in this movie.”

Joining the intrepid duo on the feline hunt is Bud, played by actor Jason Mitchell, wellknown in his early career for playing Eazy-E in the critically acclaimed film “Straight Outta Compton.” Now, he is honing his comedic chops.

“I want people to know I am a contender and can play comedy and drama roles, Mitchell says. “I can unpeel my onion and people should not typecast me.”

Mitchell, who grew up in Louisiana where the movie

I CAN UNPEEL MY ONION AND PEOPLE SHOULD NOT TYPECAST ME. was filmed, was excited to return.

“I was living in Los Angeles and it was so crazy to come home to New Orleans,” he says. “‘Straight Outta Compton’ changed everything for me, it made the city proud (and) I was super happy.”

The film’s name harks back to another famous “Keanu”— probably the only other one— Keanu Reeves. The “Matrix” actor wasn’t initially interested in participating, but eventually found himself as the voice of the cat who leads Rell through a drug-induced hallucination.

“There was a certain strategy in choosing ‘Keanu’

as the name of the cat, when you see that name you think of an iconic name like Keanu Reeves,” Peele says. “People will think of two things when they hear the name and it’s a way for people to connect to Key and Peele.”

The film, directed by Key and Peele helmsman, Peter Atencio, is a continuation of the pair’s work on television.

“We look to material that we have not seen anywhere else,” says Key. “Topics such as race, culture and masculinity are targets.”

As for future projects, Key and Peele will continue to pay attention to content where they

can provide social commentary.

“We write how we see the world,” Peele says. “Once ‘Keanu’ comes out, we will have a powwow to discuss what’s next. There are opportunities in class and wage discrimination, sci-fi realm with artificial intelligence; there are so many things we have not discussed.”

Most importantly, they’re hoping that fans enjoy “Keanu.”

“We want people to go and have a great time at the movie and get a bunch of good laughs,” Key says.

“We are comedians first and foremost.”

CRACKING THE CODE TEMPE’S ESCAPE ROOM IS THE REAL DEAL JASMINE KEMPER • DAMIR LOLIC • COLLEGE TIMES

O

ne hour. That’s all the time you and up to eight of your closest friends have to bust out of a room at The Escape Zone in Downtown Tempe. If you’ve never heard of an escape room, it’s a live-action gaming environment that involves cracking codes, solving clues, unlocking combinations and figuring out riddles to escape a themed room. Your objective is different, depending on which room you’re in. Right now, the experiences available are The Inheritance, Jail Break and coming soon—Lunar Lab. While escape games are common for corporate team building because success depends on communication, they’re meant for anyone to enjoy. From escaping a jail cell to racing the clock to find some hidden cash, experiencing an escape room is no easy task…but it is a thrilling one!

We at College Times decided to test them out ourselves. Here’s how it all went down.

JASMINE’S EXPERIENCE: THE INHERITANCE

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 5, 2016

30

I decided to brave the Escape Zone with my friend, my boyfriend and his dad. The Escape Zone owners, Mark and Lori, welcomed us and we sat down awaiting the instructions. I don’t like being locked in any kind of room—even voluntarily—so I knew it was going to be an interesting 60 minutes.

Lori and Mark set the scene for our escape room: In “The Inheritance,” your grandparents left you an old farmhouse in the country and—as someone who lives in the city—you decide to sell it. After finding out there is an inheritance waiting for you in the attic, you

must race to find it before the new homeowners arrive.

We were told our scenario was the “easier” of the two rooms available, so we opted for that one. They led us to the faux attic and the door was shut behind us—the 60-minute countdown began.

I was really surprised with how real the attic felt. The minute the door shut, we were transported to another world full of dolls, books, an old television and an eerie song playing on a loop.

My team and I tore the room apart. In just over an hour, we solved puzzles, found clues, opened doors, unlocked chests and eventually made our way out of the room. Even though we went 20 minutes over and made plenty of mistakes, it was still a fun experience. I would definitely come back to try out the other rooms.

DAMIR’S EXPERIENCE: JAIL BREAK I earned some massive brownie points by taking my sister, her boyfriend and a close friend to experience the Escape Room. Jasmine and her group were early birds and picked “The Inheritance,” so my group was tasked with tackling the “harder” of the two scenarios.

Mark and Lori quickly briefed us on the “Jail Break” plot: You and some friends are in Central America seeing the world. As a good citizen of the planet, you naturally pick up trash along the beach. You drop the trash into a dumpster nearby—just before the garbage truck comes along.

The next thing you know, you and your amigos are being wrestled to the ground, tied up, blindfolded and thrown into a van. Something you picked up wasn’t garbage after all. You are brought to

a private holding cell in a remote location. After two terrifying days behind bars, the clock is ticking and the big boss will be arriving soon.

Tomorrow could be the end of your adventure and life—if you don’t find a way out today.

The ruthless thug they put in charge of guarding you will be gone to lunch for an hour. It’s now or never.

Once inside, we were divided into two teams, led to separate holding cells and handcuffed immediately. We noticed numerous tidbits of information, lots of numbers and how chilling it felt to be locked up.

After an hour of deciphering codes, picking locks, throwing cloths and moving props—we still needed an additional half hour to escape!

We’ll be back to take a crack at it again.

It’s almost time to say goodbye to college, Aquarius. Go take a walk down memory lane and visit all your favorite spots on campus. Remember when your bike got stolen freshman year? Yeah…Good times.

The early bird may get the worm, but who wants to eat a disgusting worm when you can make breakfast any time of the day? Go ahead and sleep in today, Pisces.

Beer before liquor, never sicker.

Liquor before beer, in the clear. Six shots of vodka and probably texting all of your exes in the corner of your best friend’s closet.

Mother’s Day is coming up. It’s time to thank mom for everything she’s done for you. Without her, you literally wouldn’t exist.

Life is like a box of chocolates: When you eat too many of them, your stomach starts to hurt. Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer.

You forgot to do something. Oh well, it couldn’t have been that important. Oh…wait. It’s OK, you don’t have to dig a very big hole for a fish anyway.

What the hell, Eric? Get that out of your mouth, that’s disgusting! You can’t eat 2-week-old leftovers out of your roommate’s fridge. What’s wrong with you?

Now is the time to start saving money. To celebrate your adult decision, go get some dinner, watch a movie and buy yourself something nice. What’s that? Now you’re broke? See, we told you to save.

You really need to go study for that final. Stop procrastinating, Scorpio!

We know adult coloring books are all the rage now, but showing your professor that you can color inside the lines won’t get you that A.

We know you’re busy this time of the semester, but maybe you should pick up the phone and call your friends to tell them how much you appreciate them. They might be going through a rough patch.

Adfghjklzxcvbn….wake up, Capricorn! You feel asleep on your keyboard again. Just a little longer and you can trade in your laptop for a margarita by the pool.
