How Your Favorite "Gilmore Girls" Characters Have Changed

Oh dear Taylor.

How Your Favorite "Gilmore Girls" Characters Have Changed

In a valiant effort to remember every single detail about "Gilmore Girls" before "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" comes out THIS WEEK (I'm not excited at all), rewatching was a must. What astonished me the most was how different our favorite characters looked from their first episode to the revamp. Here are how a few of your favorites have changed.

The Family

Emily Gilmore

In the first episode, Emily Gilmore is nearly unrecognizable without her signature hair and perfectly done makeup. She's almost as unrecognizable in the previews from the new episode, simply for the fact that she is wearing *GASP* a t-shirt. Old Emily would never have been caught dead in such a horrible fashion, as she reminded Lorelai several times.

Richard Gilmore

RIP Richard Gilmore. He is one of the only people who could put up with Emily Gilmore for (most) of his life. In "Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life," he is memorialized in a gigantic painting that is like "THE WHOLE WALL!"

The Eccentrics

Sookie St. James

Well. Nothing has changed here. Sookie is still in the kitchen causing chaos. Then, it was the fact that she had to go to the doctor to get her finger looked at from where she cut it. Now, it's the pornographic nature of icing tubes.

Michel Gerard

Still helping out at the Dragonfly Inn. I think it speaks volumes about Lorelai's patience that Michel STILL works for her and Sookie.

Taylor Doose

The first we see Taylor, he's harassing Luke to put up Thanksgiving decorations in the diner. In the trailer for "Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life," he's standing where he rightly belongs at the front of the town leading a town meeting where everyone looks like they begrudge the fact that they're at the meeting. Yep, everything is the same in Stars Hollow.

Kirk Gleason

Fun fact, in the first episode, he was referred to as Mick. People are worried that something is between Kirk and Lorelai given that he's at Friday night dinner, but the fact that Emily asks who the heck he is shows that Kirk is just as crazy and random as ever. Can't wait to see how many more jobs he has taken on.

The Friends

Paris Geller

Same stairwell, almost the same look, definitely same Paris. Fortunately this time, she's walking beside Rory instead of glaring at her. Hopefully, in the past eight years, Rory and Paris have only grown closer.

Lane Kim

Slightly more grown-up Lane Kim. With cooler hair and an even better band tee wardrobe. At this point, she has to be the coolest mom on the Stars Hollow Elementary School PTA.

The Guys

Dean Forrester

Always with the looks over the shoulder. It's his aesthetic I guess. His hair has gotten longer. Hopefully, his decision-making skills have gotten better.

Jess Mariano

Gorgeous at any time. Gorgeous with the coif, gorgeous with long hair. Jess Mariano used to be a bad boy, but now, he looks like a great guy who you would love to have a glass of Scotch with. *Ahem* Rory.

Logan Huntzberger

Better fashion sense, still the same smug-ish grin. Good old Logan will never change. Or hopefully he will because I was not one of his fans.

Luke Danes

I feel weird putting him in the guys category because Luke is not just a guy, Luke is *THE* man. If you aren't Team Luke, you can go home now.

The Girls

Lorelai Gilmore

Why does she look like she's on the brink of crying in both of these photos? Both of them involve Luke, and one of them involves coffee. So I guess you have your answer to that one.

Rory Gilmore

Still the classic blue-eyed girl, Rory has some more experience and more troubles behind them, but they're still the same blue eyes.

Tune in on November 25th to see all the ways their personalities have changed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
