All hands on deck

Between undecided majors, messy relationships, and what comes after four years of college, students want to find answers. It can be overwhelming, but there’s a way to take the future into your own hands — literally.

Palmistry is the art of using the three major lines of your hand to determine personality traits, which are then used to predict the future. Palm reading has been practiced for thousands of years by Far Eastern communities such as Persians, Tibetans, and Hindus.

So what does your hand say about your future?

“Heart” Line: Found between the index and middle fingers, this line represents your emotional tendencies.

Faint: You fall in love with anyone, from the boy who sits next to you in lecture to the guy making your coffee at Starbucks.

Straight: You can be found crying at a tailgate or running around naked after the basketball team wins. You experience intense emotions.

Forked: You have heartbreak in your future. It’s time to reevaluate your relationships.

Absent: You think with your head, not your heart.

“Head” Line: Found in the middle of the palm, this line represents intellect and reasoning.

Long: You are an ambitious go-getter. It may be time to further challenge yourself with school work.

Short: You are intelligent and intuitive. Your street smarts rule.

Deep: Lucky for you, vocab tests are a piece of cake. You have an excellent memory.

Forked: Whether it’s switching majors or quitting your minimum wage job, you are about to change career paths.

Absent: Face it, you’re lazy. You’re banking on finding a sugar daddy (or momma) after college.

“Life” Line: Found somewhere between your thumb and index finger, and running down your wrist, this line represents where your life is heading.

Deep Line: You may be feeling stressed this year, but it looks like smooth sailing ahead after graduation.

Double Line: Whether you run into them on your bike or share a love for Breakfast Club at Kilroy’s, this line says you will find your soul mate.

Chained Line: Don’t get too comfortable. You’re in for twists and turns unexpected surprises around every corner.
