November has always been one of my favorite months. We have Black Friday shopping coming later in the month. Christmas is right around the corner which means Christmas movies and music start playing. I get a homemade meal with lots of food for Thanksgiving. There is just so much to love about November. I noticed one day this week how uneventful this November has been. It just feels like not much has happened, and its dragging on.
The first thing I noticed was how sad I was that One Direction wasn't releasing an album this month. For five years we have been blessed with an early Christmas gift which was an album. Because One Direction is on hiatus, we weren't given that gift. With not getting that album it meant no interviews about it, no concert tour for it, no American Music Awards performance with it. All the boys are currently pursuing solo projects, Niall's being his solo singing career. As he released "This Town" he had interviews about it and performed it on the AMA's. A sense of sadness overcame me as I realized how the band might actually be over. I was happy that I at least got a small part of the yearly November treat, but it was bittersweet because it left me missing the boys more than ever. It's been almost a year of the hiatus which means there are only seven months left, hopefully.
Winter is by far one of my favorite seasons. Part of why I love November so much is because it's still fall-like weather as it transitions into colder sweater weather. But I feel like the cold has come pretty late this year. I love being one of those people who loves snow, nd hot chocolate. I love being able to stay inside and cuddle while watching movies. But I'm not really enjoying the fact that up until a week ago, it was hot enough for me to wear shorts to class. I want to snow to start falling and staying in my room because it's so cold. I want to be able to wear leggings, boots and scarves. My winter wardrobe is so much cuter than my summer, so I just want to whip out all the cute clothes.
For thanksgiving, I usually celebrate with a big portion of my family. This year, instead of hanging out with them, my mom, dad, and I are going to the beach. Now don't get me wrong, I'm super pumped that I get to go to the beach. The beach is my first love after all. But I'm a little sad that we don't get to keep the tradition of hanging out with the family alive. I'm sad that I don't get to see my awesome cousin or hang out with my grandparents. I'm sad that I'm not going to get the traditional Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving food.
All in all, this November has been pretty low on my list.
