4 Lessons That "The Gilmore Girls" Taught Me

Gilmore Girls is the show that I think most women in there 20's would say they have seen every episode of and have an argument about weather Rory should of stayed with Dean or moved on to Jess. They love Luke and how much he was always there for Lorlia and how every person was thanking God their grandma was not Emily. It's the reason why they started to quote movies, tv shows and songs in everyday conversation. But what is even better about Gilmore Girls is all of the lessons that they have taught us.

1. A Mother Daughter Relationship


Lorlie and Rory were best friends, they had each other through everything that you could ever imagine. Even when they were angry with each other and were not speaking, they still cared and missed each other. Rory supported her mom just as much as her mom supported her.

2. The Need For A Community


Rory had a whole town who loved and supported her. They watched her grow up from a little girl into the women who was going to travel with the political campaign. For most people, you do not have a whole town but you have your family, teachers, close friends and some people that you meet along the way who just are about seeing you succeed. The people who are there in every storm.

3. You have to live every minute

Logan was always pushing Rory outside her comfort zone. Showing her there is more to life than books, good grades and just getting by with life. He opened her eyes to the idea of accepting things even if they do not go your way and being willing to do new things, to changes to a life with adventures. Not everyone has that person but living a life that makes you feel like living and being ready for anything.

4. Sometimes You Have To Find Yourself

Rory was told she did not have what it took to be a reporter- the dream she had all of her life. When she felt like she had no other choice, like she had all her dreams crushed, she took time off of school. During this time she lived with her grandparents because her mom was furious with her for not going to school and she worked for the Daughters of American Revolution. She had to figure out what she was doing so she kind of had to do a detour with her life. Not knowing what you want in your life at every point of it is okay. When you just can not handle everything going on and just need to take a step back and think is this really for me.

Gilmore Girls is a show that you can watch over and over again and hear lines that you still love, new lines that you love and new reasons to love a character. But Gilmore Girls gave me the idea that life is not perfect and sometimes you need the support system and to fail before you can rise and over come everything.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
