Like usual, this semester has flown by, and it is already November. Can you believe it? I can't either. Luckily, it's one of my favorite months out of the year. Here are seven of the many reasons November holds a special place in my heart.
The weather is perfect.
Almost every single day in November is sweater weather. It's not so cold that I have to bust out the puffy jackets and Uggs, but it's just chilly enough to sport my favorite new slouchy sweaters and riding boots. What could be better?
It's still football season.
In fact, it is the best part of football season. The weather has cooled down enough to make tailgating actually bearable. This is when things start to actually get exciting, especially if your team is doing well so far in their season.
The food is on point.
Pumpkin spice everything is officially totally acceptable along with apple cider, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and all foods Thanksgiving related.
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. It's an entire day to be thankful for all of the blessings in our lives. And we get to do so at home, with our family and friends. The food is delicious, the football games never disappoint, and the post-dinner-turkey-coma is so real.
School Purgatory.
November is a beautiful time for students everywhere. The worry of mid-term exams is in the past, and the looming stress of finals hasn't crept onto the horizon quite yet. Plus, there is Thanksgiving break, which is a much needed breather from the day-to-day college grind.
Black Friday.
The biggest sales of the year happen in November. It's the best time to get your Christmas shopping done, stock up on winter must-haves, and be shocked by all the infamous news stories that are sure to ensue.
Christmas Is just around the corner.
