You would be lying to yourself if you didn’t wish you were Rory or Lorelai Gilmore while bingeing on Gilmore Girls on Netflix. I was so addicted I finished the series in less than 2 months (embarrassed). But I discovered Rory and Lorelai are literally my spirit animals and I NEED to be them. (spoilers ahead for those currently bingeing ...)

1.They’re smart. Lorelai runs an Inn and is an entrepreneur. Of course Rory is a genius and is a girl attending Yale. I love that they make the characters set goals and then achieve them.

2.Their sense of fashion. Lorelai brought Rory to her first day of Chilton in cowboy boots and cut off jean shorts. Most of her fashion choices are questionable (10 years later) but you gotta lover her for it. 

3.Logan, Dean, Christopher, and Luke. Ugh, the internal debate of who they should’ve ended up with. All the guys were always so hot. But I kinda love that Rory denied Logan because she wanted her own life, too. And we really never know what happened with Lorelai and Luke ...

4. They were rebels. Who didn’t love Rory when she went with Logan to the secret society trip? Season One Rory wouldn’t have done that. And Lorelai’s impromptu marriage to Christopher in Paris. The Gilmore's know how to have fun.

5. But they know how to love. OH MY GOD! I cried so much when Lorelai sang “I Will Always Love You” to Luke at karaoke. If you didn’t shed a tear I don’t trust you. And when Rory dressed up in an apron for Dean (way back when) and visited Jess in the city. The Gilmore's have it all — they can have fun, be independent, but know how to love and that’s the most important lesson of all.
