25 Things To Be Thankful For This November

tumblr

October has come and gone, Halloween (or Halloweekend) is over and the time to get in the holiday spirit has finally arrived! While many of you will begin to listen to Christmas music now and start drinking peppermint mochas, it's important not to forget about one of the most important holidays of all: Thanksgiving. Even though this is the beginning of November, there is no better time than now to think about what we can be thankful for.

This November, here are 25 things to be thankful for:

1. Starbucks

2. Pumpkin Pie

3. The Thanksgiving feast itself (cause come on, who doesn't appreciate a good ole' American feasting)

4. Fall leaves (if you don't live in Arizona)

5. Lulu Lemons (you're welcome boys)

6. Sweaters, sweatshirts, spirit jerseys, and all things comfy to wear in the fall

7. BOOTS!

8. The fact that you can almost listen to Christmas music (and have it be socially acceptable)

9. College football

10. Blanket scarves...or really any scarf

11. Cuddle weather

12. Netflix (this is a biggie)

13. The fact that you get school off on Thanksgiving (and if you're lucky you actually have a Thanksgiving break)

14. The fact that you have work off for Thanksgiving (and if you don't, I'm truly sorry and thankful for people like you who keep their businesses open for us)

15. The smell of pine cones (especially from craft stores - seriously what's in that stuff?)

16. Kate Spade

17. Nordstrom

18. Black Friday sales (or the fact that you're sleeping through Black Friday while your mom shops for Christmas)

19. Apple cider

20. The fact that it's almost Christmas (AHHHH!)

21. Ugly Christmas Sweaters

22. Fireplaces

23. Your sorority sisters/fraternity brothers

24. Your organization itself (think of all the amazing things that have come from being a part of something that is bigger than yourself)

25. All your amazing friends, family, and loved ones (because this is what Thanksgiving is really about; being thankful for the people who influence you and care about you. If you have any one that is special to you, you are truly a lucky person)

Even though you can be thankful for many silly, material things, we know that material good are not what's really important in life. Take this time of year to see what you've been blessed with and to be thankful for those blessings. Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1208

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
