The 5 Stages Of November

So close, but so far.

Halloween is officially, and finally, over. I know what you're all thinking: You don't like Halloween? I'm not sorry to say no, I'm not its biggest fan, but I know as soon as Hallo-month (let's be honest) is over, Thanksgiving break is just around the corner.

For a lot of us the semester is winding down but all that means is that all of your professors are pilling on the coursework and things are getting hectic. So, even though you're about to go home and eat your weight in turkey, there are still things you need to accomplish before then. Here are the five stages of entering into the month of November as a college student.

1. Mourning.


You've just had to put away your cat ears and fishnets (if you're into that) into a box. All you have now are the pictures of you and friends killing the costume game, but never fear, Halloween will be back before you know it.

2. Okay, so Christmas?


If you're that person that listens to Christmas all year round, more power to you. However, if you're a little less crazy, you're now realizing that you can finally listen to Christmas music without being judged, sort of. Is it too early to put up a tree??

3. Oh, no.


But wait, this means that homework is about to get excessive.

4. I'm so over this.


You're elbows deep in paper and tests and all you want to do is call it quits and go home. Stick it out, you'll be home putting on your eating pants before you know it.

5. Finally.


You're home with your family and things are finally slowing down a bit. Now all you have to do is get through finals week.

Things might be getting stressful, but hang in there! The end of the semester is upon us.

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.

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.
