" Gilmore Girls" is arguably one of the best shows I have ever watched on Netflix. Now, being the seasoned TV watcher that I am, this is seriously saying something. With the snarky comments, creative characters and priceless town drama, the show is a given top 5 pick for anyone who has ever fought with their mom, needed a cup of coffee, struggled in school, or just couldn't manage to hold down a relationship. With young and innocent Rory and her rambunctious yet reserved mother Lorelai, it is clear to me why so many mothers and daughters around the world strive to be like them. However, while their mother daughter bond is awesome, I personally find Lorelai to be probably the best character on the show. While always trying to be there for Rory is great, it doesn't even scratch the surface of what makes Lorelai the awesome person, mom and friend that she is. This being said; the following are the 8 reasons why I strive to be like Lorelai Gilmore.

1. Her life motto:

Coffee, coffee, coffee! You heard the woman!

2. How she deals with handling others.

She shows us to not settle for anything less than what you want in life.

3. Her commitment to always being herself.

Tongues out regarless of the time and place make for a happy life.

4. Her determinism to always speak her truth.

When you're not happy, it's nothing to feel guilty about. Speak your truth.

5. Her ability to see the beauty in the little things.

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the things you take for granted or as a pest.

6. She understands the power of good TV.

You're absolutely right, some shows are a lifestyle ...

7. How she shows us that we all struggle ...

Sometimes, some of us more than others...

8. Her ability to show us how to go about our rough patches

Thank you, Lorelai for showing us how to live our lives better.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
