We all have that one month that we look forward to 11-out-of-12 months a year. If you're thinking of your favorite month right now, I can pretty much guarantee that it isn't November. However, there are many reasons why it should be.
1. The Return of Red Cups
Starbucks celebrates the return of the holiday season with their infamous red cups. Not only do they get you in the Christmas spirit but drinking a peppermint white mocha in a red cup is the right way to enjoy November.
2. Thanksgiving
Say goodbye to your swimsuits and say hello to food! November is the prime month for food. The Pilgrims and Native Americans didn't get along to watch you skip out on a great Thanksgiving feast. So shove that swimsuit to the back of your drawer, gather around the table with your family and enjoy the food!
3. Holiday Movies
Starting Nov. 1, we all are guilty of breaking out the Christmas movies — maybe it's just me — and getting a jump on the holiday season. From a classic like "Miracle of 34th Street" to "Elf," Christmas movies are now acceptable to watch without being judged.
4. A Break from School
November is a very relieving month of school. Everyone is celebrating their miraculous survival from midterms. This month should be valued because it is the calm before the storm. In this case, the storm is finals. So relax and think about how you are almost done with another semester at UT!
5. The Return of Leggings and Boots
Okay, girls. It's that time. November is the best month because it is officially time to whip out those leggings and boots and wear them to class. Not only is it easy and comfortable, but the temperature is steadily in the 50s so you won't go from wearing boots to sandals in less than 24 hours!
6. A Thankful Month
Talking about what you're thankful for is one reason why November is the best. Whether it is a daily Facebook post, Instagram picture or just a simple conversation with a friend, we like to express how thankful we are. No matter what it is, this month puts everyone in the spirit of being thankful and that alone is another reason why November is great.
Although these are only six reasons why November is the best month of the year, this is only my opinion. So go out, experience the best that November has to offer and form your own opinions about why this month is one to celebrate and enjoy!
