Wrecking Ball: November

To this day, I am not really sure why November exists. In Kansas at least, November is cold, but not the fun kind of cold that yields a lot of snow and causes school to be canceled. It is the kind of cold that makes existing in November generally unpleasant. Due to the weather, along with several other factors, November is by far the least enjoyable month of the year.

For instance, on some Novembers, such as this one, the general population of this nation cringes as we are forced to watch yet another iteration of the imbroglio that is the American democratic process. This will only be worse in 2020, when America will have to find a politician we trust enough to give executive control of our country.

Probably the most famous event that takes place in November is Thanksgiving. While Thanksgiving is a real plus, and not nearly as terrible as the rest of November, it remains a holiday so boring that many people skip to preparing for Christmas right after Halloween. During October, Halloween season is celebrated throughout the month, and during December Christmas season is celebrated by most throughout the month. Even during April, many people celebrate Easter season. Nobody, however, spends November celebrating Thanksgiving season. People instead spend November being physically uncomfortable and unhappy.

Overall, making it through November is a real test of patience and will for all of us. For the majority of November, all there is to do is wait for November to be over. Stay strong: in a few days, November will finally come to an end, and the world will be good once more.
