In my opinion, out of all the 12 months in the year, November is definitely the best (even though it's not my birthday month). Here are a few reasons to convince you to think like me!
1. We "fall back" an hour. I know I definitely felt that extra hour of sleep when I woke up Sunday morning, and who doesn't love extra sleep?
2. It's the last month of autumn weather. Better enjoy the rest of the beautiful and cool autumn season, because winter is just around the corner come December (Unless you're in Ohio because it's going to be 70 degrees in a few days).
3. But on the other hand...it's almost time to break out your winter wardrobe! Puffy coats, warm boots, scarves, hats, etc...winter is coming!
4. Thanksgiving break. For all the students out there, our next break is coming! This one is extra special, though, because we get to eat ourselves into a coma at Thanksgiving dinner while spending time with our families. (If you're a science major, though, it's probably not really a break, and you'll most likely use this time to catch up on homework.)
5. Black Friday. For all those who love to stay out all hours in the night to find deals for Christmas gifts, your day is almost here!
6. It's the peak of pumpkin flavored everything. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin drop cookies from Giant Eagle (if you don't know what those are go find them), and the list goes on.
7. No Shave November. The best time of the year for the guys who don't want to shave and the worst for their significant others who can't stand their crazy facial hair.
8. Bonfires, s'mores, and hot chocolate. With cool weather comes warm fires which means roasting marshmallows and sipping hot chocolate.
9. It's the last month before Christmas. Yet another break for all of my fellow students, except this one we not only get to eat and spend time with our families, but we also get a whole month to catch up on sleep before classes start back up in January.
10. Last, but not least, it's officially basketball season. Let's go Cavs to all my Cleveland fans out there!
