Silly Scopes: First Home Game Edition
Aries: You’ve been waiting for the first game of the season, and now that it’s only a couple days away, you’re only worrying that the Trojans will pick up the win. Just keep in mind your friends’ only worry is that you won’t be too obnoxiously loud.
Taurus: Your friends have tried to bail on going to the game with you, but you won’t let them. They’ll end up having fun because you’re having fun. Who do they think they are trying to change plans?
Gemini: You don’t really want to go because you don’t care too much about football, but all your friends are really excited, so you’re going to try your best to learn the game for them. Plus, football games are great scenery for fun chats, even if you end up hating it.
Cancer: Just don’t go. You’re going to be miserable. Too many strangers, too much time away from home, too many eyes staring at you and judging you. Maybe you can convince your friends to stay home and watch the game. The price of ESPN+ and chicken wings is one you are willing to pay to save your mental state.
Leo: The stadium is going to be loud, and your friends will be watching the game. If they don’t hear something you say every now and then, or if you’re not the center of attention, it is not the end of the world. If you can accept that, then you’ll have a good time.
Virgo: Go to the game, take the time to relax and have fun. There will be people there, but no one is there for you. They’re there for the game, so you don’t have to worry about being too shy. You probably haven’t stopped working since classes started, so you need this.
Libra: You’ll have a good time at the game, unless you run into someone you don’t want to see. Maybe try to get seated fast and stay seated, so you save the rest of the student section from hearing about a grudge you're holding from two years ago.
Scorpio: Have some faith in the Trojans. Sure, you don’t think they can win after last year, but don’t start rooting against them to prove your optimistic friends wrong. In this situation, it’s better if you’re wrong.
Sagittarius: You can have fun without knowing exactly how football works, but maybe it’s best if you try to focus on the little details this time, so that you aren’t the person in the crowd yelling things that don’t make any sense.
Capricorn: The refs are going to miss calls, and they’re going to call things on no grounds. They always do, and you are going to yell at them for it. Don’t stop being you. Every crowd needs someone like you.
Aquarius: You need a break from studying. It’s Saturday, so nobody wants to have a genius intellectual conversation. They want to watch football and, secretly, you do too.
Pisces: Going to the game is the opposite of your perfect night. Instead of being alone in bed with a book, you’re in a crowd of people watching a loud, violent sport. You should go to support the team, but prepare yourself not to have fun.
