Let me state for the record that I don\u2019t really believe in horoscopes and even though I\u2019m talking about advertisements on Spotify I do in fact have a premium account. Anyway, the two-minute podcast Spotify recommended to me is called \u201cLeo Today\u201d and there\u2019s one for everybody.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of doing my homework, I\u2019m listening to wind chimes and a soothing voice telling me good morning and the date. It\u2019s 10:30 P.M. but apparently, Mercury and Scorpio are arriving opposite Uranus and Taurus (this is what I\u2019ll remember instead of how negligence is related to tort law tomorrow morning). For the next two minutes, I\u2019m not so stressed because of the sounds of smooth jazz and vague proverbs like, \u201cTrust your intuition, but weigh out all the options before you react\u201d. That\u2019s good advice if you\u2019ve answered \u2018C\u2019 three times in a row on a test. One thing I had going for me today was that \u201cthe outer planets persist in my house of healthy habits\u201d. That\u2019s a little ironic. Maybe it means watering down my Gatorade in Commons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not saying students should procrastinate and listen to 20 daily horoscope podcasts in a row instead of studying for your third test or whatever. It was just nice taking a moment away from finals\/pandemic\/political stress. I recommend everybody else do the same; find a way to give your brains a break!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Chamberlain Zulauf The last two weeks of the semester is prime time for procrastination.
