10 Life Hacks We All Learned From Watching 'Gilmore Girls'

Whether you have seen every season five times over, or if you are a "Gilmore Girls" newbie, there is no doubt that the series has taught us all a little something about life. In honor of the upcoming "Gilmore Girls" revival taking place this Friday, November 25th, here are some life lessons that the series has taught us over the years.

1. You're never too old to spend time with your mom.

Lorelei Gilmore is like a super mom. She's always there for Rory throughout the show, and is the first one to hand over the pint of ice cream during hard times. Even through the period of time when they don't talk to each other, She's always there when Rory needs her.

2. If binge-eating is wrong, then you don't want to be right.

Everyone who's anyone that has watched even the first episode of the TV series knows how much these girls enjoy their food. While watching the show in your pajamas on a Friday night, you almost feel as if you were there in Stars Hollow on the couch with them while they eat Chinese takeout from Al's pancake world.

3. Being a smart girl is a great thing.

We all fell in love with Rory's hunger for knowledge throughout the series. Because of that knowledge, she was very successful and had a lot of good things going for her. The show really emphasized how important it is to believe in yourself, and love who you are, even when you're in the library on a Saturday night.

4. Coffee is the key to success.

Can you recall an episode of Gilmore Girls where they aren't taking, drinking, or complaining about needing coffee? I'm pretty sure after watching the show, even I appreciated coffee more than I already do. Coffee is their fuel, and also their kryptonite.

5. It may hurt now, but everything works out the way it's supposed to in the end.

The house of Gilmore (Emily included) definitely had their fair share of heartbreak throughout the series, but they always had each other. It really teaches you that life can suck, but it can also be beautiful, and you can still go on.

6. Sometimes all you need is your best friend.

Lane and Rory go through some ups and downs, but they are always a call away when they need each other, proving that best friends can sometimes be the only one their when you really need them.

7. You have to work hard and dream to reach your goals.

Lorelei is the best example of making her dreams happen. She started off as a maid, and worked her way up in the inn business until she owned her own successful one. She had a dream, and even when she went through hard times, never took her eyes off the goal.


8. There's someone out there for everyone.

Yes, even Kirk.

9. You will fail in life at some point. But it doesn't mean that your life is over.

Call her what you may, but Paris Gellar is the prime example of determination. Even after she was declined by Harvard, she still pressed on and became successful.

10. Sometimes you have to take a walk on the wild side.

Whether its stealing yachts or getting hit by deer, the Gilmore girls really know how to tell some crazy stories, and get into some very interesting situations.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
