5 Reasons November Tops All
Michaela Martin

This week marks the first week of a month that should be considered a national holiday...That’s right it’s November. This month provides 30 days of bliss, from the season change to getting into the holiday spirit, there are many reasons why the 11th month is the best. I’m here to tell you five reasons that November tops all months.

1. Fall is in full swing.

That’s right ladies its time to break out the cute sweaters, scarves and ugg boots. This is the month of leaves falling off of trees and colder fall weather. From crisp frosty mornings to evenings spent by the fire place, you seriously can't beat this time of the year. If we are lucky by the end of the month Upstate New York could be witnessing some snow.

2. Thanksgiving!!!!

What a great holiday, most students get at least 3 extra days off to go home and see their family. This holiday is about celebrating all that we are thankful for in our lives while watching football and eating a great home cooked meal. Not only do you get a good dinner, you also get dessert, can't forget the pumpkin pie! It’s every college students dream, need I say more?

3. Black Friday

So us Americans are a little crazy...Just a mere 24 hours after we tell the world what we are thankful for, we fight at the stores for the best deals on Christmas gifts. Normally this means waking up before the sun comes up and driving to your closest mall to shop until you literally drop.

4. Day-light saving time ends

Hello, extra hour of sleep. It’s that time of the year again where we “fall back” and set the clocks back an hour. One of the only downfalls with this is that it gets dark earlier.

Of course I saved the best reason for last..

5. No Shave November

For many of you that don’t know, this tradition started as a way to raise awareness for prostate cancer much like how pink is associated with breast cancer. Basically, No Shave November is where men put down their razors for the month and let their beards come in strong. Hello hotties.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
