Zodiac Stereotypes at the UPR Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UPR chapter.

You will meet a lot of people on campus, but to truly know them you need to know what their Zodiac sign is.

For that purpose, we’re providing you with a guide to the Zodiac Sign Stereotypes on Campus.

 

1.  CAPRICORN

Capricorn is a very organized sign that tends to have a ‘To-Do’ list. If the class is planning an outing or an end-of-the-semester activity, they will like to plan it out and make a list so that everyone remembers what they need to bring. Capricorns, are not the kind of person who sits quietly at class if they have a question they will ask it; if they have an argument: they will let the class know. People from this sign tend to do very well in their classes, but this will not prevent them from stressing out a lot during midterms or finals. They tend to get very anxious when they need to present a project or take an exam.

 

2.  SAGITTARIUS

People who have a Sagittarius sun are one of the most social people you will meet. They can literally befriend the whole classroom within the first five minutes (those same five minutes that will take the professor to get to the classroom). They also tend to be the ones who start passing around the list to start a WhatsApp group for the class. Although they tend to be usually very loud and opinionated, which is not a bad thing sometimes it can be overwhelming.

 

3.  PISCES

In my experience, Pisces tend to be the nicest sign but also they tend to be very shy. People with a Pisces sun also have a great sense of humor. In class, although they are very hesitant to participate when they actually do participate, it makes a difference! They are very loyal friends. Although not a bad thing, they can be overly emotional. This is why it is important to give them space to express their opinions and the emotions that they sometimes suppress.

 

4.  TAURUS

Taurus is the sign that is excellent for procrastinating. They will complain about their homework while deciding that doing their nails or hair is a better use of their time. Taurus, in my experience, have an eye for beauty and enjoy prepping their outfits for the week. They are also very friendly and sensual. They are mysterious with their flirting styles, and when single they complain endlessly about their relationship status.

 

5.  ARIES

Arieses are a lot. They have a lot going on their plate. People with their sun in Aries are very passionate about a lot of things. This is why they tend to get involved in many campus activities. It becomes hard for them to keep up with their constant changing because of their ever-changing social group, but when they dedicate time to themselves they try their very best to become a better version of themselves.

 

6.  CANCER

Cancer will sit down with you and babble on about their struggles in each class they are taking this semester. Cancerians are also super sweet. But will you ever truly know them? Because they like to share specific details about their lives, one might get confused and miss very important pieces about what’s truly going on in their life. When Finals are just around the corner, you will see them collapse and only survive only on coffee.

 

7.  LEO

Leo is “The Mom” friend. Leos enjoy looking after and spending time with their friends. They also like to take on responsibility when they are assigned to a group project, which is why they will most likely seem like an overachiever. Although responsible, this attitude depends a lot if they like the class they are currently taking. If they find that the class is boring, they will find ways to not assist said class.

 

8.  SCORPIO

Despite all the stigma Scorpio’s have, my experience with Scorpios is very different. They tend to be very kind. When you spot them on campus they will most definitively stop to greet you–even if they are five minutes late to their class. They will even take the time to compliment your outfit! They also are good at giving hugs. Although, being the kind person they are they have a lot of inner struggles and they can be very hard on themselves for things they can’t control. Take it, easy guys!

 

9.  AQUARIUS

At first instance, Aquarians might seem unapproachable. It might be because they have a very serious face or because they seem too cool. But don’t be afraid to approach them because they are also the kindest people you will meet. They might constantly look tired but it’s usually because they absorbed people’s energy and it drains them (or because they pulled an all-nighter). The best conversations will certainly be held with them over a cup of coffee.

 

10.  LIBRA

Libras are very social. They know a lot of people on campus but also tend to disappear on their friends. Most likely to leave you on read (either because they are very busy or because they didn’t know how to reply). Libras have a very particular sense of humor and tend to like very lame puns (or drastically hate them).

 

11.  VIRGO

Virgos tend to be control freaks When it comes to presentations,  they will most likely like to be the group leader. Their way with words helps achieve this. Although they tend to overreact when oral presentations are in their near future. People with their sun in Virgo are very caring friends but they need to learn how to chill (and figure out how to keep a nice balance between studying and their social life).

 

12.  GEMINI

Gemini is a very interesting sign (not only because it is my sign). They tend to be very talkative about very strange things and can literally make conversation with you about anything. Beware of their one in the morning talks because they tend to drift to existentialistic thoughts. They tend to be very good friends that will try their best to give you their advice and listen to your problems. Although many people usually think they are pretty cool, they are very insecure about their self-image and self-esteem. People with their sun in Gemini can also be the kind of person in the class that makes a very good argument at first and then ruin their reputation by asking a dumb question.

 

 

Until next time! Signing off,
