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.

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.

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.

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!
