November is a great month all around. We can finally look forward to a long and much-needed break from school, the holidays are coming up, the weather is getting brisker, and the overall spirit of the holidays is felt all around. If you want to start to get excited about the many upcoming fun things, just continue reading!

Here are the ten best things about November:

1. Daylight Savings

Although it will start to get darker earlier, gaining that extra hour of sleep is much needed at such a busy time of the year.

2. The weather is getting colder.

This can be sort of good and bad, but at least you can finally wear those cute boots, sweaters, and leggings you have been saving since last season... and maybe pick up a few new cute items for your wardrobe.

3. Fall scented candles

There is nothing better than the cozy scents of fall like leaves, autumn, and cranberry woods.

4. Thanksgiving Break

After the long month of October with difficult midterms, many assignments, and papers, it's easy to say that we are all ready for this break!

5. "Friends" Thanksgiving Episodes

"Friends" has some of the greatest Thanksgiving episodes, so to get in more of the turkey eating spirit, it's fun to watch those holiday filled episodes.

6. Thanksgiving... duh.

A holiday that revolves around family, friends, food, and giving thanks...what could be better?

7. Black Friday

If you're into all the craziness that revolves around Black Friday then more power to you. Just please don't trample anyone (or just wait for Cyber Monday and avoid all the crowds).

8. Being able to listen to Christmas music without it being totally socially unacceptable

Some people say the day after Thanksgiving is when they start being able to fully listen to Christmas music and enjoy it, however to me, November 1st is just as acceptable. Do yourself a favor and listen to Justin Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe"... truly will get you in the spirit. Thanks, JB.

9. Decorating for Christmas

Right after Thanksgiving is a popular time for people to begin getting their houses all ready for December fun!

10. The simple joys of this time of year

Enjoying the beauty around you, the scents, anticipation for the holidays, and overall feelings of joy that surrounds this time of year is something we all need to truly enjoy and take advantage of! It truly is the best time of the year.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
