" 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.

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
