Why Sookie Needs To Be In The Gilmore Girls Revival

If you're a Gilmore Girls fan like me, chances are you definitely cried tears of joy when you found out that Netflix signed on for a Gilmore Girls revival. This revival will consist of four 90-minute episodes. And all of your favorite actors will be back: Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Scott Patterson, and Kelly Bishop have all signed on to the project...but someone's missing. Melissa McCarthy has revealed in a tweet that she was not invited to participate in the renewal. Not invited!? The Dragonfly Inn and Stars Hollow will not be the same! We're taking this issue to the next town meeting. I say we all petition for Sookie St. James to be included in this project, and here is why:

1. Lorelai needs her best friend by her side (DUH)

Aside from Rory, Sookie is Lorelai's best friend and go-to gal. I mean, they even started the Dragonfly Inn together! They are the Meredith Grey and Christina Yang of Gilmore Girls and, therefore, it is beyond a crime to separate them.

2. She's practically a second mother to Rory

When Lorelai and Rory moved to Stars Hollow when Rory was 10, Lorelai met her soon-to-be best friend. Sookie was always there for Rory, and I can't believe that she won't be in the revival.

3. She's hilarious

Especially in that episode where Lorelai calls the wedding off but it was too late because Sookie had already become attached to the cake.

4. She's awkward in the best way possible

"And then the floor slipped..." Same, Sookie. Same.

5. Her kids are Lorelai and Rory's godchildren

I mean, come on. You're telling me that they're willing to tear apart Rory and Lorelai from their godkids? So unacceptable.

6. She has the same understanding of Shakespeare as most of us

Yup, that's basically how I remember the story going too.

7. She and Jackson make the cutest awkward couple

At first, you were probably like "Why is Sookie the Chef dating her produce guy??" and then you eventually realized that they were actually pretty darn cute together.

8. She makes the most amazing baked goods

And she was so genius that she even brought Lorelai just muffin tops, because obviously that's the best part. I'm pretty sure we've all wanted to try Sookie's delicious recipes at one point.

9. She gets us

Yes, this basically the emotional roller coaster that we all go on during throughout the week (and sometimes during just one day...)

10. It's just not going to be the same without her

You'll truly be missed, Sookie. You were on of our favorite characters and you definitely deserve a spot in the renewal. But you will, no matter what, have a special place in our hearts.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
