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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
