November Is NOT A Lame Month
AY Mag

With everyone still slightly hungover from Halloween, and highly anticipating the Christmas celebration to come, November tends to be overlooked and unappreciated. I must admit, sandwiched right in between Fall and Winter, the timing is slightly awkward. However, this next month is actually packed with a ton of fun things to look forward to, filling November with even more potential than ever before...

8. Election Day.

After months and months of endless political debate, scandal, and just general lunacy, it's finally time to see who will be officially heading into the Oval Office come January #SOS

7. Warm Drinks.

November means a full intro to all of this season's newest, comfiest latte flavors. The consistent cold weather also means you can finally commit to hot coffee again, abandoning iced until Spring.

6. Seasonal Foods.

November's produce simply can't be beat. Here's to an endless amount of perfect apples, brussel sprouts, potatoes, kale, pumpkins, and squash!! Cozy winter meals FTW.

5. Beards, Mustaches, Goatees, and Sideburns.

Both "No Shave November" and "Movember" mean this month signals a general increase in facial hair, everywhere you turn. Who doesn't appreciate some good scruff?

4.The Apparel.

As the temperature keeps dropping, the amount of available accessories actually continues to increase! There's nothing better than being able to complete an outfit with a trendy new scarf/hat/gloves.

3. Holiday Cheer.

When does Christmas season actually start? Who knows. Coming soon: toooons of festive lights, decorations, music, and holiday TV specials.

2. Endless Shopping.

If November means one thing, it's an infinite amount of excuses to shop. Black Friday, Cyber Monday--the sales this month are actually unreal.

1. Stuffing.

Clearly this post wouldn't be complete without mentioning Thanksgiving!!! For us college students, this means finally heading home for some much-needed family time, a good night's sleep, and so. much. fooooood.

No matter what people may say, November can't be beat. Bye, Haters.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
