Ah, Paris Geller: The most motivated, hardworking, and straightforward person on Gilmore Girls. She also happened to be one of my favorite characters on the show. While many of the characters in Stars Hallow seem to think she's mean and cruel, I have always admired her ambition and drive. She is a girl who knows what she wants and will do anything to achieve her goals. She is also straightforward, strong, sarcastic, and, at times, vulnerable. It's those traits that make Paris Geller one of the most relatable characters in television. Here are thirteen times I've related to and, have been, Paris Geller in 2017.

1. When I watched Obama welcome Trump into the White House and felt completely helpless:

2. When an old man told me to smile last week on the subway:

3. When I attempted to enjoy the warm abnormally warm weather in Boston but then remembered our current president doesn't believe in climate change:

4. When I got an email from my school's health center telling me there has been an increase in flu cases on campus:

5. When I'm watching TV and Kellyanne Conway suddenly appears:

6. When I hear Mike Pence talk about reproductive rights:

7. When someone asks why I would let my political views get in way of romantic relationships:

8. When the senators who confirmed Devos showed up to work the next day:

9. When Elizabeth Warren was barred from speaking on the Senate Floor by Republicans:

10. When people tried to tell me to 'give Trump a chance':

11. When I read through Facebook after the Women's March, saw all the people complaining about it, and was even more motivated to keep up the resistance:

12. When someone who voted for Trump says, "This wasn't what I voted for":

13. When Trump signs any executive order:

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
