November Knowledge

Somehow, it's November. In honor of us all spending the next few weeks in the month , here are ten things you may or may not have known about this delightful 30-day period.

World War I ended Nov. 11, 1918. The 11th is also Veterans' Day.

Elections are held the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Noteworthy on the local ballot: Greg Abbott and Wendy Davis are hashing it out for Texas governor. Looks like we'll be saying adios to Perry.

November is allegedly National Peanut Butter Lover's Month. Which is to say, November recognizes the things that are truly important in life.

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November and is reported as the second happiest day in the United States.

TCU plays Kansas State in football on the eighth.

Fred Armisen comes to talk at TCU on the 7th. (Half of TCU is stoked and the other half says "huh?") 

JFK was assassinated Nov. 22 of 1963 in Dallas.

TCU students partake in advising and enrollment for spring semester this month. TCU students also partake in many sleepless nights and fruitless class searches. 

The flower of the month is the Chrysanthemum. Also, "flower of the month" is a thing.

November is a prevalent month to pack on a few extra pounds. Thanks chunky sweaters and Holiday binge eating.

On that note, make it a great month everyone! Remember to stop and watch the leaves fall.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
