6 Fun Things To Do In November
Fancy Crave

After Halloween, every store you go to, it seems as if their Christmas decorations have been put up overnight! Heck, Sears in the Deptford Mall already has Christmas stuff for sale and Santa's HQ is already being set up! Everyone seems to neglect the month in-between October and December, me included.

But October and Halloween are over, and it is not quite Christmas yet, so what is there to do? I took the liberty to list my six favorite things to do in November! Here are some activities to do during the forgotten in-between month.

1. Pick up a new hobby.

This time of year is a good time to pick up a new hobby. Some hobbies I suggest are painting, crocheting, knitting, or writing. The good thing about picking up a new hobby this time of year is that it could be a stress reliever for when you're needing to take a break from college, or it could also be a cheap way to give Christmas gifts this year.

Paint your aunt a watercolor picture of her dog or knit your grandmother a pair of socks. No matter how the gift turns out, people will love it because you made it with love.

2. Have a photo shoot.

Whether you love having your photo taken or you love taking the photos, a photo shoot in November is wonderful! It's not too hot nor too cold outside. The leaves are at their peak beauty before they all fall. You can wear that favorite fall outfit that you always tell yourself you're going to wear to school, but once again, you wear leggings and an oversized hoodie instead.

3. Bake.

No matter if you make everything from scratch or you're a semi-homemade baker like myself, baking is a fun activity to do in November! With the yummy smells and the warmth from the oven, it will bring you a sense of comfort and happiness. Bonus: your friends will love whatever you bake because of free food!

4. Practice self-care.

The holidays are a very stressful time of year! Midterms just passed, but in a matter of weeks, it will be the end of the semester before we know it. On top of that, there are gifts to buy and people to see. November is a great month to practice self-care. Before everything gets too crazy, form some healthy habits that will help you through these stressful times.

5. Go apple picking.

Nothing says fall like picking some apples fresh off the tree! Go outside, enjoy the cool, crisp fall air, and get yourself some delicious apples from your favorite apple farm.

6. Collect pine cones and make a craft with them.

When you think about pine cones, most people probably think about Christmas, but I think pine cones are perfect for this time of year! There are so many fall crafts you can make with them! Collect a few pine cones, paint them with your favorite autumn colors, and place them in a vase or decorative bowl. Now you have a cheap and easy fall center piece!

Or use those pine cones to make bird feeders. Spread peanut butter all over the pine cone, then dip it in some bird seed. Place it outside, and you just created a fun snack the birds (and most likely squirrels) will love!

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.
