What We're All Looking Forward To This November

Halloween is over, Christmas isn't here yet... so WHY love November?

What We're All Looking Forward To This November
Meet Me On The Balcony

November is FINALLY here and we have multiple reasons to be "thankful" for that!

Football Season:

The one season almost every girlfriend is forced to enjoy and practically every father makes sure their family enjoys!

Daylight Savings:

Not too excited about the dark, but definitely anticipating that extra hour of sleep.

Election Day:

I think we could all agree that this election is the biggest joke of this year. Seriously, this election has been nothing but a game of “would you rather?” and I cannot wait until it’s all over! That being said, we will finally have an answer for the number one question that we continue to ask: who will be the next president of the united states!? Obama, we will miss you dearly. Honestly. This year will be the first time voting for many citizens (including myself)! Make surety exercise your right to vote on November 8th, 2016!

Thanksgiving Break:

I’m just excited to actually have a real break.

The Thanksgiving Day Parade:

Nothing makes Thanksgiving more official than Macy’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. Between the performances, blow up balloons, sales discounts and everything else… it sure does know how to start off someone's Thanksgiving morning!

Thanksgiving:

Thanksgiving is anticipated every year for plenty of reasons. Family gatherings are always the best… but food is obviously way better.

Friends-Giving:

After all the hard work we put into classes, organizations, making new friends etc. going home to finally reunite with all your friends who also went off to school (or stayed home without you) is one of the best feelings ever.

“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”:

This is obviously a classic that cannot be forgotten.

Black Friday:

Such a bittersweet time of the year. This day marks the beginning of the Christmas sprit and the end to a savings account! It's so bittersweet that it deserves not one gif, but two.

Cyber Monday:

Basically another day dedicated specifically for us to spend money we do not have (except this time we do not have to wait in line to do so). Plus, we get to experience the excitement almost nothing else could relate to: coming home to a package you've been dying to receive!

Christmas Slowly Approaching:

As Christmas shopping begins, so does the decorating! I refuse to let everyone who decorated for Christmas right after Halloween suck the fun out of my decorating! Putting a tree up in my dorm is going to make me and my roommate's home away from home that much better! Not to mention this means we finally get to start planning for everything Christmas related.

Fall Semester Coming to an End:

Does this even need an explanation?

Early Gift for Your Sanity:

Here’s a list of all the Original TV shows, sitcoms, and movies Netflix will be releasing this November!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
