In the Catholic faith, there are many amazing people that were canonized as saints, or people that followed God with all their hearts. Here is a list of a few saints that have feast days in November. I hope you enjoy!!!

1. Saint Leonard of Noblac

During his lifetime, he released many prisoners and some even followed him when he took to being a hermit in the forest.

2. Saint Leo the Great

November 10

Saint Leo the Great was Pope during the mid 400s. Leo's papacy is often viewed as one of the most important papacies in the Catholic Church. Saint Leo was also proclaimed a doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XIV

3. Saint Albert the Great

November 15

The patron saint of medical technicians, natural sciences, philosophers, scientists, and students.

Saint Albert the Great was the first person to comment on all of the Aristotle writings, making them open for learning and debate among others. He is known for his writings and knowledge on many topics.

4. Saint Elizabeth of Hungary

November 17

She is the patron saint of hospitals, bakers, nurses, brides, dying children, exiles, homeless people, and widows.

She lived her life according to Saint Francis of Assisi, for he was a role model of hers. She built a hospital, visited inmates daily, and gave to the poor.

5. Saint Cecilia

November 22

The patron saint of musicians, hymns, and poets.

She came from a rich family and was married to a man named Valerian, but wanted to remain pure in marriage. She helped Valerian and his brother become faithful to God and they were eventually baptized by the pope. But, Christianity was illegal and they were all executed, and Cecilia was beheaded.

6. Saint Catherine of Alexandria

November 25

The patron saint of unmarried women, and students.

There is not a lot of information about her, but it is often stated that she was born into royalty and was an educated woman. The emperor began executing Christians, and she went to denounce him. Instead of ordering her execution, he ordered a debate. Her debate converted many listeners, and they were all executed almost immediately. Catherine was imprisoned and tortured. She was martyred in Alexandria, Egypt in 305.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
