15 Holidays in November You've Probably Never Heard Of
LifeStyle Blog

As I sit here writing this Thanksgiving Day is currently nine days away. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It also happens to be one of the most overlooked holidays. However, Turkey Day isn't the only overlooked holiday in November. So, here's a list of 15 other days in November that you've probably never heard of.

1. Cooke Monster's Birthday: November 2nd

Who wouldn't want to celebrate Cookie Monster's birthday?

2. Sandwich Day: November 3rd

People who don't celebrate sandwich day can't be trusted!

3. National Candy Day: November 4th

For me, every day is National Candy Day!

4. Doughnut Day: November 5th

Doughnut day is another holiday that should be celebrated on a daily basis.

5. Basketball Day: November 6th

So, this is an unofficial day but in 1861 on November 6th the man who invented basketball was born (it totally counts as a holiday).

6. USA Election Day: November 8th

So, this isn't actually a holiday but it only comes around every four years and it's a pretty big deal!

7. Veterans Day: November 11th

This is probably one of the few official holidays on this list.

8. National Button Day: November 16th

Fun fact about me: I LOVE BUTTONS! (I don't know why). The fact that there's such a fantastic holiday only four days before my birthday is AMAZING!

9. Take a Hike Day: November 17th

Hiking is fun... if you like exercise.

10. My Birthday: November 20th

This should definitely be an official holiday!

11. Stop the Violence Day: November 22nd

Also not an actual holiday, but it's definitely an important day in November.

12. National Cashew Day: November 23rd

My favorite nut has it's own holiday!

13. Turkey Day: November 24th

An entire day devoted to family and food; I don't know what more I could ask for.

14. National Cake Day: November 26th

Cake is delicious and I'll use any excuse I can find to eat cake.

15. Square Dance Day: November 29th

I have no idea how to square dance but maybe I'll figure it out before the 29th!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
