5 Questions I Want Answered by Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

When I first discovered the wonder that was Gilmore Girls, I thought I had found the best show on the entire planet. I loved the witty banter between Mother and Daughter do, Lorelei and Rory, as well as all of the kooky characters portrayed in town of Stars Hollow. There was someone that everyone could relate to, even on a small level.

I found myself pulled towards Rory, a person who was known as a book nerd, and everyone loved her for it. Her boyfriends were attracted to her brain as much as they were attracted to her physical features, she had goals she wanted to accomplish with her life, and she worked hard to make those goals a reality. She was a great role model for someone during those impressionable teenage years.

When Gilmore Girls era ended, I still re-watched the episodes when they were on TV and even had a few marathons with a friend who was just as obsessed with me. However, my love had started to die out, until Netflix announced some of the best news I have heard all year.

Gilmore Girls is getting a revival, four 90 minute episodes will premier on October 25, and I could not be more excited.

While I am anxiously awaiting for the revival to be available to stream, my brain has been swarming with questions that I want answered. Here are the 5 main questions i want answered during the Gilmore Girls revival.

5. What is Going on With Rory's Career?

Season seven ended with Rory being offered a position to follow Barack Obama around the campaign trail. Since the show ended, Obama has served in the oval office for 8 years. Did Rory's career take off with all of the writing she was doing on the winning presidential nominee? Did she ever meet Obama in person? Did she woo him with her journalism skills?

4. What State is Rory's Love Life In?

At the end of season seven, Rory rejected a marriage proposal from her boyfriend Logan and they went their separate ways. But was that the end? Did Rory meet up with her former boyfriends while on the Obama campaign trail? Are any of them still in her life? Will she ultimately choose one of them, or none of them?

3. What State is Lorelei's Life Life In?

Lorelei infamously got back together with Luke after her failed marriage with Rory's father Christopher at the end of season seven. Have Lorelei and Luke continued their relationship? Are they no longer together?

2. What is Rory's Father Christopher Up to Now?

Christopher was always sort of absent in the series until the later season when he began having a better relationship with Rory and Lorelei (they even got married! Important to remember!) But what is he up to now? Has he moved on since he and Lorelei got a divorce? And what about his daughter, Gigi? Where is she now?

1. How Will Edward Herrmann's Death Be Handled?

Sadly, a few months ago, the actor who played Rory's grandfather, Richard Gilmore, passed away. Mr. Gilmore was always a staple in the series, surprising the audience with his kind heart and his incredible business sense. He seemed to inspire Rory and really appreciate to have her around, and the audience could see that he very much loved his wife, Emily, and his daughter, Lorelei. It will be different to not have Mr. Gilmore around during Friday Night Dinners. I want to know how the show will handle Edward Herrmann's passing, and how the absence of Mr. Gilmore will affect the rest of the characters.

November 25th cannot come fast enough! Make sure to check out Gilmore Girls: A Year In A Life when it becomes available on Netflix!

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?
