BOO! How to Survive⁠—and Thrive⁠—During Scorpio Season

By |

Happy Halloween and Happy Spooky SZN! It’s no coincidence that Halloween (and every U.S. presidential election) falls when the sun is in Scorpio, the most mysterious, scary, and downright frightening of all 12 Zodiac signs. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, God of the darkest elements of the underworld and all things supernatural. This sign is also ruled by Mars, the planet of action, aggression, and desire — as well as, of course, the seductive and secretive Scorpion. 

Indeed, many Scorpios have a protective layer at the surface and it may take a lot of time and trust for them to show any vulnerability at all. However, when they do open their hearts, expect an emotional intensity deeper than anything you’ve ever felt before.

FOOD WEEK | If Cornell Majors Were Halloween Candies

Engineering = Warheads

For some reason, Mech-E’s and Chem-E’s think they’re at war with every other major at Cornell, and won’t go more than two minutes without reminding you that they’re engineers and that your major is inferior. They treat every project or interview like it’s a life-or-death situation and you think they might explode at any given moment. They’re also incredibly sour about everything, to the point where it’s not even worth asking them how their day went. Also, doesn’t that logo just look like an engineer? Applied Economics and Management = Gummy Worms

People always call AEM majors snakes and this is the closest thing we could think of to snakes.

See what several of our writers have to say about some of the scariest things they’ve experienced during their years at Cornell. THE WALK TO MY HOUSE

Charlie Liao

As a non-guaranteed transfer, I had no clue that Cornell housing is basically over before Thanksgiving. So, I’m living conveniently closer to Ithaca College than I am Cornell. What does this mean? Well, it means walking through a living representation of the “Upside Down” from the Netflix hit, Stranger Things.
