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!

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.

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.
