With Netflix's new Gilmore Girls segment coming out in November, the Gilmore Girls craze has been heating up more than ever.

Various coffee shops have opened as "Luke's Diner" for the morning in honor of the show, and companies have created apparel and action figures galore.

Gilmore girls is a show packed with attractive boys, witty banter, mom/daughter goals, and sometimes juicy drama. I mean, why wouldn't we be excited? What's not to love?

In honor of my excitement for the new Gilmore Girls episodes, I have compiled a short list of some times Rory Gilmore was your role model.

She got into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.

Throughout the show it was Rory's dream to go to Harvard. Her walls were covered with Harvard posters since the get-go. However, typical Rory, did not just stop there. She applied at all of the Ivy league schools, and what happened? Well, she was accepted into all of them.

She consumed large amounts of food, and stayed skinny.

Every girls dream if were being honest. Let's face it, the girl could eat, and we respected her for it.

She managed to find three attractive boys to (at one point) fancy her at the same time.

First it was Dean, then it was Jess/Dean, then Jess, then Dean again, then Jess comes periodically, then Dean/Logan, then Logan/Jess, and then finally Logan. ...Until she dumps him when he proposes. Complicated? Yes. But Rory pulled it off somehow. (PS: Let's be honest, were still rooting for Jess.)

She always had a book in hand.

Were talking about the girl who brought books to her prom. The girl who had "bus books, textbooks, and lunch books" all in her book bag. It was cute. She made being smart cool. We didn't want to play dumb for boys, we wanted to be smart like Rory.

Her relationship with her mom.

Lorelei, and Rory's witty banter is what made the show what it is. They really were mother/daughter goals.

She was an awesome friend.

She had different friends throughout the show, but she was a great friend to all of them. Any girl that could put up with Paris Geller on a daily basis, has good character.

She became the editor in chief at the Yale Daily News.

She didn't even have to run for the position, they just all elected her because they knew she would be good at it.

There are many reasons that make Rory Gilmore a role model for young girls. One of the most is that she is relate-able. She made being smart cool, and she didn't care much about what others thought of her--everyone loved her for it. She always had a book in hand, and something funny to say. Rory Gilmore made mistakes, and had a lot of successes throughout the show.

I can't wait to see who she's become in these new episodes.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
