5 Life Lessons We Can Learn From Gilmore Girls
E! Online

Gilmore Girls has become a Netflix sensation, especially after the newest four releases of 'A Year in the Life'. Our generation has surely fallen in love with the town of Stars Hollow and enjoyed watching the characters grow over all of the past seasons and the newest revival releases. But after having religiously watched the series and being personally invested in each of the characters there's a few life lessons we can take away...

1. Family is Family.

The series began with Lorelai and Rory not having the greatest of relationships with Richard and Emily Gilmore, the bond of family was unquestionable by the end. I think over the seasons it became pretty clear that no matter what happens in life family can and will always be that constant factor, there when you need it.

2. Chase Your Dreams.

From the very beginning of the series it was clear what path Rory wanted to be in life, a successful journalist and she pursued that ambition at Yale. Rory from day one had always been serious about her education and grades and pushed herself to be the best of the best. If there's one thing we should take from Rory it's that we should never stop working for what we want until we reach our goals.

3. Home is Always Home.

The main characters live in the little Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. Rory goes off to college at Yale but always returns home to see her mom. After she graduates, the series ends with her leaving to join Obama's campaign. We the viewers assume that she took that time to travel all around the country and possibly the world too because that was always one of her dreams. But when the Gilmore Girls revival came out a few months ago, Rory was right back home in the little town that built her. So from Rory's experiences we can learn that no matter where life takes us, there's really no place like home.

4. Things Won't Always Work Out.

Whether it's careers or boys, Rory also shows us that things won't always work out. We find out in the revival episodes that not all of Rory's plans had worked out; she's single and back working for the Stars Hollow Gazette. But even though even the revival doesn't have such a happy ending for our beloved Rory, she does teach us that when things don't go our way, we should make the best out of every situation.

5. Coffee is Everything.

I think everyone can agree that maybe the biggest lesson we learn from Lorelai and Rory is how vital coffee is to our daily lives. You'll never see an episode where they are't fueling their coffee addiction.

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.
