11 Lessons From Kirk Gleason
Gilmore Girls Wikia

Kirk Gleason has always been an inspiration. He is full of wise words and crazy antics. He may be called the town fool, but he actually has some pretty great advice hidden beneath the surface. This one is for you, Kirk. You've taught us so many things throughout the course of "Gilmore Girls," and the lessons below are just the tip of the iceberg.

1. Expressive dance is creepy.

When Kirk rushed onto the stage to preform this amazing dance, my hopes were sky high. And Kirk totally delivered. However, expressive dance is not in my top ten favorite things. It's probably one of my least favorite things, to be honest...

2. Wait on your Lulu.

Kirk and Lulu showed the world that love at first sight for everyone really does exists. It doesn't matter who you are or how crazy a town thinks you are. Love is possible. #Goals

3. Explore your job interests.

It doesn't matter if you are 15 or 35, it is always okay to explore your job interests. Maybe you want to expand your interest or grow your portfolio. Either way, Kirk never gave up, and neither should you.

4. Don't let the haters get you down.

Everyone in Stars Hallow has put down Kirk at least once, but that has never stopped him from being who he is.

5. It's okay to live with your mom.

No shame. I love my mom. I'd live with her for forever. I probably would have dates at home, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't live there.

6. If you're having nightmares, don't sleep naked.


If you're prone to night terrors, just sleep fully clothed. You wouldn't want your neighbors finding you naked on your rooftop in the morning.

7. We're all naturals at falling.

Gravity does not help my clumsiness. I trip and fall all the time. We're all prone to gravity and its intensity. But the cool thing is, is that it's okay to fall down as long as you get back up.

8. Be careful when you're wearing someone else's pants.

Always be cautious when wearing other people's clothing.

9. Always be precise.

Wording is everything. The words might be synonyms, but word choice still matters.

10. It's okay to not work well under pressure.

Take a deep breath and step back. Reevaluate. Then go tackle the project.

11. You should probs go to the gym.


Instead of a juice diet maybe you should just go to the gym...or just get that gym glow.


Thank you, Kirk, for all of the craziness you brought to one of my favorite shows. You have shown us that you can always be yourself no matter what the circumstance. It's okay to be different, and it's okay to not fit into a certain mold. We're supposed to be our own people. So for that Kirk, we thank you.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
