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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
