Things That Become Acceptable Starting On Nov. 1

NBC

So, it's finally Nov. 1. The time for pumpkin spice lattes, haunted houses and apple picking is officially over. It is now the holiday season and, with that, comes all of the fun things that are acceptable during this glorious time.

1. Christmas music.

It is now perfectly acceptable to create a Christmas music playlist, make the Christmas music radio station one of your presets and search for the "Mariah Carey Christmas" Pandora station.

2. Obsessing over winter activities.

You and your BFF/BF/GF/Mom/whoever can now start planning out all of the fun "winter things" you're going to do. (Whether that includes ice skating and sledding or simply twirling around candy canes is up to you.)

3. Dreaming about Thanksgiving food.

You may not be dreaming about having an entire turkey over your head, but it is definitely OK to have dreams about mashed potatoes and stuffing at this time of year.

4. Creating a Black Friday game plan.

Schmidt perfectly describes the Black Friday vibes in one sentence, so once Nov. 1 comes around, it is 100 OK to start planning for the most hectic shopping night of the year.

5. Making countdowns.

Kristen Wiig is an accurate depiction of what we all look like when we realize that it's acceptable to start counting down the number of Mondays until Thanksgiving and Christmas.

6. Looking up the "25 Days of Christmas" movie schedule.

Basically, she said it all. This movie line-up never fails to deliver Christmas cheer and it's finally the time of year to get excited about it.

7. Anything peppermint.

Pumpkin spice is, like, so Oct. 31.

8. Dropping hints of what people can get you for Christmas.

"Wow!!! I really wish I had a ____ like that one we saw at that very specific store in that very specific mall!"

9. Decorating for Christmas.

You can choose your level of involvement in the decorating, but most people choose the "Buddy the Elf jumping on a tree" strategy once Nov. 1 rolls around.

10. Making a list of all the things your parents will buy for you when you come home at the end of the semester, because you ran out of money way too soon.

Shoutout to you mom and dad because, in my eyes, you're "fill the gas tank all the way up rich."

11. And most importantly, Christmas music.

Seriously...Christmas music is important enough to be on here twice. Happy listening!

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.

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.
