5 Things That Changed In Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life

After the four part miniseries of the Gilmore Girls revival premiered on Netflix, the story has finally come "full circle." The recurring theme seems to apply to many situations throughout the series that mirror back to the pilot and earlier seasons. There's been development and change, however, in many of the characters that haven't gone unnoticed.

1. Where's Sookie?

Most GG fans were aware of Melissa McCarthy's minor absence from A Year In The Life due to scheduling issues, although we were not sure how her character would reappear in the series. Who would've thought she'd leave best friend and coworker Lorelai and The Dragonfly Inn to pursue a career changing the future of agriculture? Luckily, she made a quick cameo in the inn with her infamous wedding cakes for Lorelai's special day. Let's be real, we wouldn't want a Sookie reunion any other way.

2. What happened to Rory's journalism career?

The seventh season ended with a potential, successful career for Rory. She accepted a dream gig with an online magazine, working with then-senator Barack Obama. Things were looking pretty well for her. Ten years later, however, she struggles to maintain even a steady and stable job. Even with a prestigious Yale degree, the only professional piece she has is her New Yorker article. What happened to the ambitious and driven Rory we came to know and love?

3. Emily did what?

Emily Gilmore evidently changed in the aftermath of Richard's death. She crafted an entire new lifestyle. Firstly, Emily's maid lasted for the whole year. She even allowed her family to stay in her home. For those who know the show, this comes as a shock since she is notorious for firing her maids and assistants weekly. Nevertheless, we see her stripped down in jeans and a tee shirt. If that doesn't surprise you, maybe her vulgar use of words to the once-beloved Daughters of the American Revolution group caught you off guard. She finally put her colossal Hartford home on the market and moved to Nantucket, where she puts her speech skills to good use as a tour guide. The widowed, and working Emily has changed, but for the better.

4. Once a Huntzberger, always a Huntzberger.

I guess we can say GG's seventh season was a tease. Logan had the determination to move away from his parent's overbearing pressure and ditched the family business. He left London to pursue a career in California. It seemed he matured and grew out of his playboy ways. However, A Year In The Life reverses the progress he's made. Logan's back in London, working in the family business, and engaged to a French heiress. Simultaneously, his ongoing affair with Rory is the tip of the iceberg. Sadly, we love his strikingly handsome and thrilling tactics anyway.

5. Lane has a father?

That's right. Our questions along the seasons have been answered. Mrs. Kim has always been present in Stars Hollow, but how about Lane's dad? The mysterious revelation has finally been made in the revival. We're introduced to Mr. Kim in the flesh for his five second cameo. It's about damn time!

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.
