5 Reasons Gilmore Girls Is Amazing

Everybody knows that me knows that my favourite TV show of all time is Gilmore Girls. It's the only show I own all the seasons of and have seen every episode more times then I think I know. The show was a staple of the mid 2000's, but it's still relevant nowadays... as we can tell by the reboot (yes, I'm beyond excited for that). Here's some reasons Gilmore Girls is still relevant and will always be amazing.

1. They don't have to have a man.

Our beloved Gilmore Girls don't have to have a man in their lives to live and thrive. After Jess, Rory is perfectly fine and enjoys Europe with no strings. Even Emily lives her life without Richard for a short (painful) time. Lorelai, who always seems to have a man, lives without men. Yes, breakups happen in the Gilmore world, and our girls handle it appropriately. They may take some time, but eventually they wallow and get over it.

2. The references.

I read somewhere once that Gilmore Girls scripts are double the pages of a normal drama because of all the fast-talking dialogue. The dialogue that's full of references. Sure, the references are dated (some were back then too), but everybody should appreciate the references.

3. The small town.

Star's Hollow is the definition of a lot of small towns and growing up in a small town, many of the things ring true. Quirky neighbours, odd business owners, and the relationships are all similar to a real small town. Even the whole "town obsessing over things" is true.

4. The relationships.

There's a relationship in the show for everybody. When I was a "misunderstood teenager," I was Lorelai and my mother was Emily and I was just looking for my Luke. Now I may be turning into more of a Rory and I don't know who I'm looking for.

5. The dreams.

The show taught me so much from pop culture references to tips to live my life. But one thing I've always taken away is to dream, but not be afraid if the dream changes. When we first meet our girls, Lorelai dreams of opening and inn and Rory dreams of Harvard. Lorelai opens her inn and Rory's dream changes to Yale then enhances to just being a bad-ass journalist. The girls (and many other people) held onto their dreams through thick and thin and changes until they achieved them.

Gilmore Girls was my life growing up and has obviously influenced who I am now. I'm hoping the revival stands up to my dreams, but no matter what; I love the girls.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will air on Netflix Nov. 25, 2016. All 7 seasons are also currently streaming.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
