7 Things I Want To See On "Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life"
Wikipedia

We’re officially less than two months away from the premiere of "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." Hallelujah! Fans have been patiently waiting for this since May 15, 2007.

I was a fan of the show from the beginning. My friends from elementary can attest to this. I quickly became a miniature version of Rory, minus the ambition to attend Harvard. I dreamt of coffee, journalism, and having a handsome guy like Dean. (Although now I cringe at Dean’s controlling personality.)

So, here are 7 things I want to see on Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

1. Luke and Lorelai’s relationship, and how it has developed.

Whether or not Luke will have to deal with “jam hands,” I want to see how their relationship has progressed over the past nine years. Will we see their wedding? Are they already married? How many times has Christopher stepped in, only to almost ruin everything?

2. How Rory’s career developed after the 2008 election.

We already know that Rory’s career started well because Barack Obama made it to the White House, but what happened after that? Did Rory travel the world and write? Did she finally land a job at a prestigious newspaper? Is she a teacher? (Some people have speculated about the last one.)

Also, who will Rory end up with? Alexis Bledel promised that Rory will have proper closure with Dean, Jess, and Logan. (Though, I don’t think she really needs closure with Dean. It’s over, baby.)

(P.S., I’m #TeamJess!)

3. Emily’s life after Richard.

We were all devastated to hear about the passing of Edward Herrmann, the actor who played the austere patriarch of the Gilmore family. During the original series, Richard landed himself in the hospital twice. During both occasions, Emily experienced nothing short of a breakdown. Her life revolved around being Mrs. Richard Gilmore, and she had no idea how to cope with any other version of that life.

Now, Richard is gone. What will Emily’s life look like? Will she carry on with her various social activities, or will she take a step back and spend time with Rory and Lorelai?

4. Lane, as in walk down a...

If you didn’t have a friend like Lane, you probably were the friend like Lane. I want to see Lane as a mother. Will she be over-protective, like her mother? Will she be the cool, drummer mom? Is Hep Alien even a thing anymore?

5. Stars Hollow being… Stars Hollow.

Stars Hollow has it all. Quirky residents, entertaining town meetings, and funky festivals. My hope is that our favorite townies will still possess the traits that made us love them. Yet, these people will still be on top of what’s going on around the world today.

Kirk will have held approximately a thousand odd jobs since we last saw him.

Miss Patty will still be the first to hear the latest town gossip.

Taylor Doose will still be controlling… well, everything.

6. Coffeecoffeecoffee

It wouldn’t be Gilmore Girls without Lorelai and Rory downing vats of coffee, now would it? If they’ve switched to decaf, count me surprised.

7. Those final four words.

Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino knew the final four words of the series back in 2006, but she left the show before she could make them a reality. This revelation has been driving fans mad.

My guess?

“I love you, mom.” - Rory.

I don’t like to get wrapped up in headcanons. I want to know what the masterminds behind my favorite stories envision for their characters. I may have questions. I may speculate. But in my eyes, it’s my responsibility to enjoy and discuss a storyline, not to change it to fit my specifications.

"Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" will premiere on Netflix on November 25, 2016. It will be split into four 90-minute episodes.

“Oy, with the poodles already!”

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
