November can be a tough month for college students. Somehow midterms are still happening, the weather becomes majorly unpredictable, finals are creeping up, and the time to redeem bad grades is quickly running out. But November can also be a really great month as leaves change colors, new sports begin, seasonal favorites return and plenty of time is spent with the ones we love. Here are 5 things every college student can be thankful for this month.
1. Holiday drinks at Starbucks
Cheers to holiday drinks at Starbucks! The perfect kickoff to November is a whole new seasonal menu at Starbucks. There's no better way to welcome in this new season than with peppermint, eggnog, gingerbread, and my personal fav...chestnut praline. 'Tis the season for more reasons to go to Starbucks!
2. The freedom to vote
No matter how you feel about the end result, this month I'm so very thankful for the freedom to vote. I hope I never forget how privileged I am to have the opportunity to voice my political opinion.
3. The start of college basketball season
It's that time of year! College football season may be cooling down but basketball is just warming up. Get out your oversized basketball jerseys and get ready to jump around!
4. A whole day to be thankFULL
Nothing better than an entire day to count your blessings and fill your belly.
5. 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' release
If you're anything like me, your motivation to power through this month of school has been the anticipation of November 25. More Gilmore Girls on Netflix?? Can you say early Christmas present?!
So don't fear finals and take the time to enjoy the falling leaves, peppermint mochas, 3-pointers, good food, better family, and every last bit of November!
