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.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
