Libra
A hazy, dreamy cloud shrouds you this week. Life feels like a shoegaze music video and you can hardly get your tasks done. But you don’t give a fuck. This lack of anxiety is a dramatic change from your usual pedantic self. Bask in it.
Microwave meal to make: Cup-A-Soup

Aries
This week your caffeine intake is going to sky rocket to a problematic level. But this is directly proportional to how much work for last semester you have left till the very last minute. Try to work on setting realistic expectations with yourself, and don't have a heart attack.

Sagittarius
Post-break, you are feeling restless. A week off has given you a taste of freedom and you’re ready to get out of the city. Instead of scrolling Skyscanner in your lectures, settle for booking the bus to Queenstown.

Aquarius

Scorpio
Secrets are floating around campus. If you are hearing whispers and you walk through the Link, you're not going crazy. Try to find out what they are saying or this gossip might blow up in your face when you least want it too.

Cancer 
This week your ideas in class are either going to be creative and intelligent or totally unhinged and slightly problematic. Lean into this, not every time will you be perfect but hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Microwave meal to make: A roast your mum sent down

Leo
You are feeling so excited about what you got up to during the break. But please remember that your tutor could not give less of a fuck that you went to Tekapo. Keep your stories for your grandma and flatmates.
Microwave meal to make: Frozen mac and cheese

Capricorn

Taurus
Mid-sem has lulled you into a false sense of security and now you have a big assignment due way sooner than you thought you would. Luckily your stubborn streak means you will power through and get a good amount done in the first couple days, however your habit for procrastination will be your worst enemy in the final hours.
Microwave meal to make: Pouch of rice and a tin of beans

Virgo
You should be proud of the effort you put into going to lectures and keeping your notes organised. You will gain many little ego boosts from being the person all of your friends go to for notes when they miss a class. Try not to let that get to your head come exam season.

Gemini
The ship is sinking. You felt great before the break but now everything is going to shit. You saw your situationship hooking up with someone else at Pint Night, your food goes mouldy hours after you've bought it, and it feels like your flatmates hate you a little bit more than last week. Try holding it together, you will be back on top of the world in no time.
