November: You know that month they squeezed in between Halloween and Christmas.
Maybe we need time to recover from partying hard on Halloween before we get to the Holidays. However, November brings on a sort of misery that I never experience at any other time of the year. The depression that comes with November is cumbersome.
Daylight Savings time puts everyone in a massive rut. The sun goes down so fast that it feels like midnight already before my 7:00 evening class even starts.
November is drenched in weird weather that goes from bad...
To worse.
I notice I spend less and less time outside. I always feel so confined starting in November. Not to mention all of the sick people. November brings an epidemic of coughing and runny noses that spreads across everyone I know like wildfire.
This is the month with the holiday created to celebrate our founding fathers killing off Native Americans so they could take their land and so we stuff our faces until we pass out.
The only thing good about Thanksgiving is that I get a 4 day weekend and some pumpkin pie. For some reason November has a monopoly over pumpkin pie. If a person wants some pumpkin goodness in June they are out of luck, and it just doesn't quite taste the same. The only reason why people go crazy over Pumpkin Spice Lattes is because pumpkin simply does not exist at any other time of the year and it is literally a liquid pumpkin pie.
Human beings get as much as that stuff as possible while it's around because poof! Once Christmas hits it's all peppermint and cinnamon chips - both flavors obtainable throughout the year. Such a disappointment.
Speaking of Christmas. The only thing I dislike more than November is being around people who act like it's already December 24th.
On the 1st about half of the United States' population woke up singing Jingle bells.
My roommate already put up a mini Christmas tree made of ornaments in our apartment. There are already lights and decorations put up around the city and in malls. Christmas music is already playing on some radio stations. Pandora even emailed me to say the "All I Want For Christmas is You" playlist is up and running. All I want is for you to stop. I'll get sick of it all before December even gets here because people use NOVEMBER as December 2.0.
For all of my fellow November haters out there, I hope it goes by super quick for you.
I hope classes glide by and work is a breeze.
If we all make each other some hot coco and get extra cuddly on those cold nights maybe we can make November bearable. Until we have to deal with all of the stress and pressure of making sure we have a decent Christmas...
