If you were to ask me what I did in November, I would say, “What didn’t I do in November?” November was my favorite and most busy month of Fellows yet! This month was jam packed with events so I feel like the best way to do this would be with a list.
November Events:
Ashley’s Birthday Party
Touched on this a little bit in my October blog but it needed to be talked about again! This was such a sweet night, a combination of my new Raleigh friends and Fellows + a group of my college buddies coming together to celebrate Ashley was special and shows just how impactful she is in so many peoples lives!
DC Trip to the TFI National Fellows Conference
My favorite part of Fellows so far!
Went to the Holocaust Memorial Museum. This was super heavy but was a really cool experience getting to walk around this museum and take in such a meaningful part of history.
Got to meet up with my App State friends Robin and Jacob (Knoxville Fellow) and get dinner with them.
Went to the Bible museum and got to go through their really cool exhibits of the Old and New Testament (emphasis on Old Testament).
The conference itself was awesome, getting to meet different programs and hear from different speakers through breakout groups and keynote speeches!
Having the coolest shirts at the whole conference.
Big group van rides and watching Ashley parallel park
Rooftop bars and hotel conference room hangs with the Orlando Fellows.
The main event: Scootering around the monuments and the city with all the Fellows. It was like something out of a movie, this shattered every expectation I ever had for it. Seeing Lincoln in person had me in awe.
UNC Basketball Game
Because of my awesome host family, the Warwicks, I was able to go see UNC basketball play against Radford!
UNC basketball is my first love, so getting up to Chapel Hill to see a game is always special to me
Jacob (Raleigh Fellow) also got to come and we had a blast.
Knoxville Trip
I went to Knoxville to visit my best friend from college, Jacob (Knoxville Fellow) with another one of our good buddies, Micah.
We went to a Tennessee game and saw Joey Aguilar dominate New Mexico St
Ate some really good food and visited a really cool little thrift/vintage store
It is always a good time when I am with those guys
Fellows Field Day
Not having Neighbor to Neighbor means Spikeball and Football games in the park!
Thanksgiving
Got to spend a couple days at home celebrating Thanksgiving with my grandparents
Watched a lot of TV and had a wonderful time with my parents and brother
Birthday Celebrations!
Wrapped the month up with some more birthday celebrations!
Went to a soup soiree for my good friend Molly’s birthday
Then we got to have a belated birthday celebration for our king Tyler’s birthday. We spent a splendid night out at our local fine dining experience, Olive Garden
I am so blessed to be able to pack all of these awesome events into a single month and I can’t wait to see what December has in store! I can’t believe that we are 1/3 of the way done with Fellows and only one month from 2026. Thanks for reading, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!
