11 Times You Weren't Rory Gilmore But Wanted To Be

If only I was as dedicated to studying as I was to mac and cheese.

I, like many others, have guiltily (yet also shamelessly) binge-watched all seven seasons of "Gilmore Girls". I vividly remember coming home from school and sitting my middle-school self on the couch with an after school snack of peanut butter and celery and wishing with all my heart I was Rory Gilmore. I mean, whether you like the show or not, we can all agree on one thing: Rory had it all. Brains, looks, guys, cool mom, sassy demeanor, great taste in music, you name it. In tribute to "Gilmore Girls" airing on Netflix and in an attempt to further procrastinate my homework, I’ve created a list of several times I really wished I was Rory Gilmore (but, unfortunately, wasn’t).

1. When you spend more time picking out your outfit than you do studying.

Rory would definitely disapprove. You definitely aren’t like Rory if your morning consists of over an hour trying on different shirt/pants/shoes combinations and only about 10 minutes doing the homework you were supposed to finish last night (oops).

2. When you go to the library solely to socialize.

Also guilty of this. Rory would never waste a single second talking to her friends if she’s in the presence of books.

3. You’ve never seen "Grey’s Anatomy"…

This mostly likely only applies to me.

4. You’re not a hopeless romantic.

I’ve always wanted to be, but if I’m being honest here, I don’t care nearly as much about the male species as Rory...sorry not sorry.

5. When you’re not an avid coffee drinker.

I find myself needing caffeine more and more these days. It’s too bad I’m not like Rory who is obsessed with coffee (I’ll stick to tea, thanks).

6. When you can eat junk food for every meal, never go to the gym and still look cute in everything.

Maybe I’m just a little annoyed with Rory because of this. I mean, I love pizza and tater tots just as much as the next person, but if I ate them three times a day, you’d never see me out in a crop top.

7. You have no idea what you’re doing with your life.

I’m pretty sure Rory has known she wanted to be a journalist since she was an infant. Meanwhile, I don’t even know what I want to eat for breakfast tomorrow.

8. You aren’t as witty as you think you are.

I don’t know about you, but I would never want to get in an argument with Rory Gilmore. The comebacks she comes up with are poetic compared to my usual “I know you are, but what am I?”

9. When you are literally terrible at explaining your feelings.

I don’t know if it’s because of all the books she has read or if "Gilmore Girls" just had a really great staff or writers, but Rory always seems to be able to explain how she is feeling perfectly. Meanwhile I can’t even get out a “Hi” without questioning myself.

10. When you try to be an adult and not call your mom every day.

Big mistake, honestly. Rory knows that moms are basically the answer to every problem you have.

11. You still don’t really know what college is all about.

Wait...it's not?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
