8 Facts We Know About the Gilmore Girls Revival
www.hercampus.com

The reboot of Gilmore Girls will make die-hard fans and a curious new generation of viewers skip the Black Friday sales when it airs on Netflix this November 25th. Ever so slowly rumors have started circulating about Lorelai's love life, what career path Rory ultimately traveled down, and how Emily is coping with the loss of her beloved husband. Two more months separate the world from the finale episode, Bon Voyage, and the revival four part event, A Year in the Life. Here is what we already know in preparation for your binge-watching session that will without a doubt be packed with coffee and pop-tarts.

1. A majority of the main cast is returning.

Of course the show could not go on without its two female leads, but what about the rest of Stars Hallow? Reportedly, all of your favorite townies will make appearances in the four part revival!

2. ALL of Rory's boyfriends will make appearances.


So whether you are Team Dean (no), Team Jess (sometimes), or Team Logan (always), all three boyfriends will be dropping by Stars Hallow to stir up some romance rumors.

3. The show picks up right where it left off in the finale.

The revival will start up in the present day, roughly eight years after the heartbreaking break-up between Logan and Rory and the town send off.

4. Lorelai and Luke are not married...yet!?

Season 7 left us feeling some type of way when Luke and Lorelai ended. But with new photos of the revival splattering across the Internet with the two smiling on walks together, it seems as if they might be having a reconciliation.

Oh, and one more thing can we all agree that Christopher ought to sit the revival out?? Good.

5. The revival will honor the passing of Edward Herrmann.

As one of the biggest proponents of developing a revival series, Edward Herrmann was always pushing for a special reunion. Unfortunately, the actor lost a battle to brain cancer in 2014. He played patriarch Richard Gilmore and the revival will explore how all three women come to terms with this great loss. Creator and writer Amy Sherman-Palladino reveals that "walking onto set is going to be a different feel because one piece is missing".

6. Rory is single.

According to Sherman-Palladino, Rory is dating like any young woman would be. She could end up with one her old flames, perhaps?

7. Rory might be a teacher AND a journalist.

Back in April this photo from the upcoming revival was released and here is the breakdown: Rory, head of the class, standing in front of students who don an eerily familiar navy plaid skirt. She might be teaching at Chilton! However, Logan's friend Finn from the Life and Death Brigade recently shared a photo on Instagram that includes a copy of the Star's Hallow Gazette featuring a byline written by THE Rory Gilmore. We'll just have to wait and see what comes about this information in November...

8. The first pop culture reference includes Amy Schumer.

Something that defines Gilmore Girls is the abundant and quickly delivered pop culture references. In the first official trailer for the revival, Lorelai and Rory sit in their cozy Stars Hallow abode and Lorelai ponders the question, "Would Amy Schumer like me?" The actress responded a few days later with, "of course she would!"


Whatever the Gilmore Girls revival brings, the fandom will be waiting patiently to see how life pans out for all the Gilmore women.

And yes, Lorelai, we were lost without you!

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
