November Knowledge

Somehow, it's November. In honor of us all spending the next few weeks in the month , here are ten things you may or may not have known about this delightful 30-day period.

World War I ended Nov. 11, 1918. The 11th is also Veterans' Day.

Elections are held the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Noteworthy on the local ballot: Greg Abbott and Wendy Davis are hashing it out for Texas governor. Looks like we'll be saying adios to Perry.

November is allegedly National Peanut Butter Lover's Month. Which is to say, November recognizes the things that are truly important in life.

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November and is reported as the second happiest day in the United States.

TCU plays Kansas State in football on the eighth.

*TCU defeats Kansas State in football on the eighth.

Fred Armisen comes to talk at TCU on the 7th. (Half of TCU is stoked and the other half says "huh?") 

JFK was assassinated Nov. 22 of 1963 in Dallas.

TCU students partake in advising and enrollment for spring semester this month. TCU students also partake in many sleepless nights and fruitless class searches. 

The flower of the month is the Chrysanthemum. Also, "flower of the month" is a thing.

November is a prevalent month to pack on a few extra pounds. Thanks chunky sweaters and Holiday binge eating.

On that note, make it a great month everyone! Remember to stop and watch the leaves fall.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
