November: A Month That Ends In Delicious Turkey And Is The Start Of Christmas

November is most known for one day filled with thanksgiving, turkeys, and tummy aches. It is also the month before Christmas, so many even forget about Thanksgiving and start listening to Christmas music, baking Christmas cookies, and have already got their Christmas decorations hanging up on Nov. 1. However, November is much cooler than Thanksgiving and pre-Christmas. November is full of many national days that we can celebrate so that every day is a party.

Nov. 3: National Housewife’s Day and National Sandwich Day

Some find this funny, others maybe not so much… Either way it’s an ironic day. It's a day to eat as many sandwiches as you want and have zero regrets about it. And please men, do not ask your wife or girlfriend to make you a sandwich on this day, I’m sure they will hurt you.


Nov. 4: National Candy Day

Break out the rest of that Halloween candy and have a party!

Nov. 5: National Men Make Dinner Day (First Thursday in November)

The rule is it cannot be BBQ, so men, get cookin’!

Nov. 6: National Nachos Day

What do you call a cheese that isn’t yours?

Nacho Cheese!

Nov. 8: National Cappuccino Day

Nov. 11: Veterans Day

Don’t forget to thank the veterans who risked their lives for our freedom.

Nov. 12: National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day

A very specific holiday, but I’m going to celebrate it because who even likes anchovies?

Nov. 14: National Pickle Day

Nov. 15: National Philanthropy Day and National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day

Cleaning out your fridge is probably philanthropic in and of itself for your friends who visit. However, it’s a day to be philanthropic and help the world around you, so mark it in your calendars!

Nov. 16: National Fast Food Day

Let’s be real, in college that is every day.

Nov. 18: Mickey Mouse's Birthday

This is the perfect excuse to throw a party and to celebrate the most beloved mouse on earth.

Nov. 21: National Stuffing Day

Nov. 24: National Sardines Day

Yum…

Nov. 25: International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women Day

Nov. 26: Thanksgiving

Gobble Gobble

Nov. 27: Black Friday and Flossing Day

Of course, the day after we give thanks, we storm the mall in search for on-sale items. Pick up some floss while you’re at it.

Nov. 28: National French Toast Day

Nov. 30: National Meth Awareness Day and National Mousse Day

Can you tell I like food?

Don’t forget to celebrate the month as a whole with these monthly events:

  • Lung Cancer Awareness Month
  • Movemeber
  • No Shave November
  • National Peanut Butter Lovers Month
  • National Vegan Month
  • National Adoption Month
  • National Diabetes Month

So get on out there and make something of your November!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
