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.

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?
