November usually brings a lot of things into perspective. It gives us the opportunity to consider the things that are important to us, the things we're thankful for. I enjoy so many opportunities and advantages throughout the year and have so much for which to be grateful, so here are a few fun things that have me feeling especially blessed this month.

1. Cool Weather

Finally! An excuse to wear comfy turtlenecks everyday!

2. Turkey

Sure, you can enjoy turkey all year, but it's just never as satisfying as it is when you're stuffing your face with the people you love.

3. Thanksgiving Break

Just don't think about finals.

4. Changing Leaves

Eventually they fall off and you get the satisfaction of crunching them, which is pretty cool.

5. Bonfires

There's nothing quite like sitting around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows on a cool, November night.

6. The FOOD

Look, I know turkey has already mentioned, but the food is just that important!

7. Fall Decor

Blowing the that money you should be saving to buy people Christmas gifts on scented candles is so worth it.

8. Friends

Take a second to remind yourself of how awesome your friends are and plan a Friendsgiving.

9. Family

Without fail, November is always the time of the year that I realize just how much I love and appreciate my amazing family, even if my dad DOES eat all the cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving.
