[fruitful_tab title=”Virgo 8/23-9/22″] The stars noticed as you walked past the people tabling in the WUC, immediately pulled out your phone and pretended you were reading something very important just to avoid any eye contact/act like you didn’t even notice the people staring directly at you, waiting for your attention.

[fruitful_tab title=”Aquarius 1/20-2/18″]

The stars know how you’re getting through midterms: with a healthy amount of sleep…actually it’s more like 13 cans of pure caffeine that keeps you up for three days straight with zero crash and all the insomnia.

Amusement from the archives

Caity Healy | Editor in Chief

Paige Montgomery | The Lamron Archives

Happy 163rd birthday, Western. This year, to celebrate Western’s birthday, the Western Howl dug through the archives to find some real knee-slapping comedy from back in the day. What better way to ring in the very significant 163rd year of this school’s existence by resurfacing what Wolves used to find funny?

What we came across, believe it or not, actually made us laugh. Turns out humor has always been a thing? For your enjoyment, here are some of our favorite stories written in a recurring segment from the 1985-1986 volume of the Lamron titled, “Turn to Paige” by staff writer Paige Montgomery. We hope you enjoy these as much as we did. Happy birthday, Western.

[/fruitful_tab]

[fruitful_tab title=”Libra 9/23-10/22″] Don’t look at the stars like that, Libra. We didn’t tell you to start your essay at 11 p.m. [/fruitful_tab]

[fruitful_tab title=”Scorpio 10/23-11/21″] You’re already procrastinating on your homework, Scorpio? You really are on another level. [/fruitful_tab]

[fruitful_tab title=”Gemini 5/21-6/20″] Look, Gemini. We tell you your horoscope EVERY WEEK. And what do we get in return? Literally not even so much as a THANK YOU CARD? 2019 is the year of reciprocity. Maybe think about giving back to the stars who devote so much time to you… [/fruitful_tab]

[fruitful_tab title=”Cancer 6/21-7/22″] Set your alarm clock one hour before you have to get up, we know it will take you that long to decide it’s worth it. [/fruitful_tab]

[fruitful_tab title=”Virgo 8/23-9/22″] Nothin’ quite gets you ready and pumped for your final like sitting down in soaking wet shoes and drenched hair from the rain. Better pack that extra pair of socks (preferably the ones with doggos on them, the stars think those are fun). [/fruitful_tab]
