6 Ways To Prepare For The Gilmore Girls Revival

You don't have to be from Connecticut to pretend you're in Stars Hollow.

If you are anything like the rest of us, November 25 has some sort of flag in your planner; and no, I'm not talking about Black Friday shopping (it can wait!). If you don't live under a rock, then you should know that November 25, 2016, is the premiere of the long-awaited "Gilmore Girls" revival, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."

I grew up alongside Rory, although I didn't gain my caffeine addiction until college, and wished for a support system like those who lived in Stars Hollow. A Connecticut resident myself, I longed for my own version of Luke's Diner and laughed at all of the Bridgeport and New Haven references.

This revival is one of the only things getting me through these next few months, but that doesn't mean we have to idly wait. Here are some things you can do to get yourself in the Gilmore spirit.

1. Catch up on all seven seasons.

This might sound a little ridiculous, considering we're two weeks out from the release date, but I believe in you! It can be done if you have some faith, trust, and lots of coffee!

2. Up your caffeine intake so you can actually mean it when you say "Lorelei Gilmore is my spirit animal."

Speaking of coffee, this is the time of year when it is acceptable to drink more coffee than you normally would. Because you can't justify calling Lorelei your spirit animal if you don't have coffee practically set up to an IV drip. Do yourself a favor and buy some K-cups, though! Not all coffee shops are as nice or inexpensive as Luke's.

3. Make your house or room smell like Stars Hollow.

Because apparently, Stars Hollow smells like maple leaves. Buy your own, like this from Etsy! If maple leaves aren't your thing, and you really are a Gilmore at heart, a nice coffee-scented candle will do the trick.

4. Buy your own Luke's Diner mugs.

Your kitchen won't be complete this November without a set of mugs. Always on the run? That never stopped Lorelei or Rory! Grab yourself some to-go mugs and pretend your coffee was served by your favorite flannel-wearing cynic.

5. Pick a team.

No, I'm not asking if you are Team Jacob or Team Edward, because those are a thing of the past. But asking if you are Team Jess, Team Dean, or Team Logan is the most important question, because it's highly likely that all of them will be making some sort of guest appearance!

6. Host an "A Year in the Life" Viewing Party.

The last, and possibly most important way to prepare yourself for the greatest day of 2016 is by hosting your very own GG Viewing Party, complete with coffee, pizza, Chinese food, red vines, pop-tarts and lots of flannel. However you do it, make sure to enjoy Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life with all of your favorite people.

Oy, with the poodles already!

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.
