When we think November, we think Thanksgiving, fall, cuffing season, etc. Well, there is actually a lot more to this month than what meets the eye. Although the 11th month, November was originally the 9th month on the Roman calendar. The roots can be traced back to the original roman name for the month: "novem", meaning nine. I know, crazy. Although the line between fall and winter is sometimes blurry, November is also officially the last complete month of autumn. The month of scorpio and sagittarius has much more to it than just the birth stone of topaz. November is an awesome month that deserves more recognition, as it is often skipped over due to the anticipation of Christmas. Let's spread the love and give November some attention.

1. We can thank this month for giving us the BEST deals

Black Friday AND Cyber Monday ALL IN ONE MONTH!! I'll just leave that there.

2. Mark your calendars for the first Thursday...National Men Make Dinner Day

Let's clap it up for the men in our lives.

3. Happy Birthday MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY!

So many of our favorite celebrities graced this earth during the month of November. Kris Jenner, Lorde, Emma Stone, Adam DeVine. November is a hot bed of celebrity birthdays and we're not mad about it.

4. The board game Monopoly was born November 5, 1935

The Parker Brothers really outdid themselves with this one.

6. Happy national banana pudding lovers month! 

Treat yo self.

6. Veteran's Day

We take time out of our hectic lives to acknowledge the veterans who dedicated their lives to serving our country. This is one of the most important days of the year, and cannot be overlooked. November 11; mark your calendar.

7. The second week of November = heaven 

National split pea soup week. YUM.

HAPPY NOVEMBER!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
