It's November, and you know what that means: The ATP Finals for Mens! The Nitto ATPs are finally closing in, after a circuit of intense competition. The draws have just been completed at The Chris Evan's Breakfast Show.

*Why Nitto? It's this year's main sponsor and will be until 2020.

The historic tournament is going to be held at the O2 Stadium in London from the 12th of November to the 19th, so remember your tickets! The finals are unlike other tournaments in the men's circuit. It starts with 8 players being divided into two teams. Instead of a straight elimination match, they play three round-robin matches (a.k.a. all-play-all). The two best players from each team will them battle it out in the semifinals, which would then progress with just two in the finals.

As the players prepare for the biggest tournament of the year, they remember what's at stake: a title, U$8,000,000, and a stockpile of ranking points that can push them in the rankings in the coming season.

Alexander Zverev, the wunderkind of tennis, has understandably withdrawn from the NextGen ATP Finals in Milan, to allow him more time to prepare himself for the intense competition.

"I have consulted with my team and, in order to best prepare for London, we have made the decision that it is best not to play the week before in Milan," the 20-year-old German said. "Therefore, sadly, I will be withdrawing from the NextGen ATP Finals. However, I still plan on making an appearance at the beginning of the event to support the tournament and show my appreciation for my fans in Italy that were so supportive during my win in Rome earlier this year."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
