HOROSCOPES
ARIES It’s hard to be humble
when you’re so fabulous, but
that would make you even
more irresistible. You’re in the
groove. Enjoy the applause.
TAURUS Don't wait any longer
to get your message across. It’ll
go through more quickly and
forcefully now than it will
later.
GEMINI Your job as a
messenger has never been
more important. Make sure
everyone understands what’s
expected of them. Hold them
accountable for their actions.
CANCER A distant friend
understands the hassle you’re
going through. Seek
compassion, but not on
company time.
LEO A person far away can
provide the information
you’ve been seeking. Holler if
j you need anything.
VIRGO People who like to push
the limits like to have you
around. You keep them out of
trouble. That’s your
assignment again.
LIBRA You may be attracted to
a military type, and with good
reason. Although you’re more
of a pacifist, it’s nice to know
somebody who’ll defend you.
SCORPIO You don’t like to be
the first one charging over the
hill. Let somebody else do that.
Hang back and watch so that
you’ll know which way to go
next.
SAGITTARIUS You’ve
undergone some profound
transformations over the past
few years, and you’re not done
yet. You’re at a very attractive
point in your development.
Relax and enjoy it.
CAPRICORN If you can manage
to listen to a person with whom
you disagree, you’ll learn a lot.
Most important, you’ll
I discover his or her
vulnerabilities.
AQUARIUS In an argument,
you’ll undoubtedly get the best
of everybody. You have the
facts at your fingertips, the
right words on the tip of your
tongue.
PISCES An unexpected turn of
events could bring an amazing
windfall. Your generosity over
the years is coming back to
you.

WEEKLY ADVICE COLUMN
Welcome to What’s Up, the
weekly advice column. Submit
your anonymous questions to ad
vicecolumnusc@hotmail.com.
The Counseling Center interns are
supervised by the center’s profes
sional staff. We offer no personal
responses via e-mail. The follow
ing advice represents the opinions
of the Counceling Center and not
necessarily the opinions of The
Gamecock.
QUESTION: I am a senior who
has been accepted to graduate
school. The problem is I am not
really enthusiastic about going.
I am burned out, and I am not
sure if I want to commit to three
years to something that I do not
have a passion for. My parents
are really on me; they can’t be
lieve that I am considering alter
natives. If I go to graduate school,
I will be the first in my family.
Despite this, I wish that I could
get a job before I make a commit
ment to attend graduate school.
Am I selfish for not wanting to
take advantage of this opportu
nity?
ANSWER: Your clarity regard
ing your future reflects keen self
awareness. At the same time,
your concern for your family’s
values shows that you trust their
advice. It is OK to seek employ
ment in order to gain experiences
outside of academia. You could
consider deferring admission for
a year and then make a decision
regarding graduate school.
Honesty with yourself is not self
ish; after all, it is your life and ul
timately, it is you who must face
the consequences of your choices.
Q: I am having problems with
one of my courses. I am going into
the final with a C average, so I am
terrified that I will not pass. I get
really panicked whenever I have
to ask questions in class or meet
with professors. My heart starts
to race uncontrollably, and I can
not stop thinking that I am total
ly incompetent. How can I ap
proach my professor for help?
A: It sounds like this predica
ment has caused many symptoms
of anxiety, which can be very dis
tressing. Try to change the way
you cope with anxiety by re
hearsing positive thoughts re
garding test preparation, conver
sations with professors, and tak
ing tests. With a proper approach
to studying, positive self-talk can
go a long way in helping you ap
proach tests. If you continue to ex
perience high anxiety in your
schoolwork, consider seeking ad
vice from the Academic Skills
Program or the Counseling
Center (both located in the Byrnes
Building).
Q, This might be a dumb ques
tion, but how can I get my partner
to please me better during oral
sex? We’ve been together three
months, and this is my only com
plaint. When it feels good, I ex
press that; otherwise, I just don’t
respond. Please help!
A: There are no dumb ques
tions concerning sex. Talk with
your partner about what is sexu
ally acceptable, and then discuss
mutual pleasure. Not responding
is different than expressing your
desires. Safe sex is crucial these
days. Always use a condom, to
protect from sexually transmit
ted infections (STIs). However,
condoms don’t always prevent
HPV and herpes because infect
ed areas might not be fully cov
ered by the condom. Limit your
number of sexual partners. If you
need help talking with your part
ner or using a condom correctly,
or if you think you might have an
STI, contact USC’s Office for
Sexual Health and Violence
Prevention at 777-4576 or have an
exam at the Thomson Student
Health Center.
Send questions to
USC Counseling Center, open
weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5
p.m., 777-5223
