Her constant, rambling babble never bores.

15 Of Lorelai Gilmore's Most Relatable Moments
The Telegram

Up until two months ago, I always had this plan: I would meet someone in college (preferably someone nice), we would date for a period of time (longer than two years, less than seven), get married, and then have two children. I, personally, thought this plan was a very good one. This was until I started watching "Gilmore Girls." If you smiled automatically just now, I like you already. The wildly successful early 2000's hit TV series centers around a hilarious, food-obsessed, quick witted mother daughter duo living with interesting neighbors in a small Connecticut town called Stars Hallow. The show has completely changed my outlook on my plan. I no longer feel the pressure to live with a husband in a busy city; Instead, I want to be Lorelai Gilmore. I want to own my own inn and live in a nice house and become a regular at a diner and love coffee as much as Lorelai does. Why is this? Well, because she is incredible and funny and exactly the type of woman — and mom — I want to be some day. To celebrate my newest Netflix addiction, and my absolute favorite TV mom, here are some of Lorelai Gilmore's most relatable moments:

1. Actually being honest about love:

2. When someone tries to tell you something exciting way too early in the morning:

3. Looking forward to doing something with someone and then they cancel:

4. When someone gives you "constructive" criticism:

5. Every Sunday night, laying in bed:


6. After Christmas is over, but it's still cold and snowy:


7. When you're listening to your best friend rant about a person you've always hated:


8. When you have dinner guests over for the first time:

9. Knowing you should always look on the bright side:

10. Every time you're in an awkward situation and need to make small talk:

11.Having the perfect Sunday plans:

12. Knowing the importance of time management and chocolate during any shopping excursion:


13. Listening to your friend complain about her boyfriend while knowing full well that she really does love him so you settle with:

14. Telling a story and realizing that no one is listening and then realizing that's what happens to you at every family gathering:

15. Trying to explain yourself after attempted (and failed) flirting:

"Gilmore Girls" is the always interesting, real, and hilariously funny coming-of-age story about a single mom doing her best raising her brilliant daughter in the most adorable little town. It's witty and sarcastic and sometimes rude, but is always entertaining — and Lorelai Gilmore never disappoints. For anyone who hasn't watched "Gilmore Girls," I highly recommend it (if you didn't get that hint already).

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
