Gilmore News

I have binge-watched my fair share of television series on Netflix. I can openly admit I have spent countless hours on my couch, continuously watching episode after episode without noticing my day has completely passed by.

This summer, I have fallen prey to Amy Sherman-Palladino's Gilmore Girls, and I could not be more satisfied. The show has everything I could ever ask for out of my show-of-the-summer...and more.

Without further ado, here are the 8 reasons why you will be the next victim of the Gilmore Girls addiction.

WARNING: There will be some spoilers, so continue reading at your own risk.

1. You will become addicted to coffee.

Whether you have never had a cup of coffee in your life or you are already a consistent coffee drinker, you will start adding copious amounts of coffee to your daily beverage intake.

2. Your vocabulary will improve greatly.

Example A: I used the word copious to describe my coffee addiction. Whether through the witty banter between Rory and Lorelai or while Rory is at her impressive private school, you will pick up words you have probably never used before besides in your college application essay.

3. Your food cravings will change every other episode.

Between daily visits to Luke's and various food ethnicities, you will go from craving a short stack of pancakes with a side of bacon to half of the chinese take-out menu in forty minutes or less.

4. You become frustrated with some of their life choices and habits.

We all understand that Gilmore Girls is just a television show, and the decisions Lorelai and Rory make are not binding and life altering; however, you cannot help but scream at the TV when Rory decides to take a break from Yale (yes, YALE) just because one person challenged her life dream.

5. You insert yourself into a love triangle with Lorelai and Luke.

It takes an ungodly amount of time, but yes it does finally happen. You root throughout all of your binge-sessions that they will finally get together because it's obvious how perfect they are together, even to the point where you feel as if you're the one waiting for Luke to make the move on you.

6. You change your life because you want to be a Gilmore girl.

As if I didn't already want to be a successful journalist, Rory Gilmore wanting to be a journalist made me aspire to be one even more. It also makes me seriously consider picking up any book I find and start reading it. I cannot tell you the last time that happened before I started watching this show.

7. You have spontaneous moments where you burst out laughing at something a Gilmore girl said.

Lorelai's one-liners have actually made me cry and fall off the couch from laughing so hard. I have even had to pause the show because I couldn't stop myself from laughing because of how great the sarcasm and wit is on this show.

8. You just love the mother-daughter duo that are the Gilmore girls.

The independence, the determination, the sarcasm, the relationship between Lorelai and Rory. What more could you ask for then two best friends taking on the world together?

I'm sure you didn't make it all the way to the bottom of this article because you logged into Netflix and started watching Gilmore Girls right away. But if for some reason you're still reading, close out of this article and get your binge on!

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.

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.
