Two Reasons Why I Love November

The month of November is a moth filled with sports: the NBA season, NFL, UEFA soccer, and NCAA football and basketball are all on during November. On any day of the month you might find yourself stuck between which game to watch or even which sport with such an ample amount of match-ups.

Sports have taken over my life since middle-school. As an aspiring MLB player, I spent years collecting baseball cards and even practicing my ability to give post-game interviews. Some might say I was obsessed but I was determined. My love of baseball became a love of sports in general and I got hooked on every sport. From soccer to hockey, my Saturday mornings were spent watching English soccer teams and my Friday nights watching the great match-ups between two international hockey teams. The greatest of these watch parties were usually on my birthday where I would join my dad and the rest of the dads in watching the local game.

My birthday is a couple days from Thanksgiving so I am always caught in the awkward mix of giving thanks and getting thanks for being born. My second reason to love November: I have two Christmases. My birthday and Christmas are exactly one month apart so I receive a lot of gifts in that span of one month.
