Gilmore Girls and Life.
Odyssey

The Gilmore Girls, a television show beloved by most of the female population. A show that portrayed the mother-daughter dynamic through two different generations and provided us with pop culture references to our hearts content. With the revival out on Netflix, the ending not only tied up a few lose ends, but left the audience hanging with one question: what is going to happen next?

The ending focused on the relationship between Rory and Lorelai coming full circle, with Rory revealing that she is pregnant and being in almost the same position Lorelai was. Both got pregnant while living at home, both with men who are wealthy and both are unmarried. The biggest difference is obviously the age, with Rory being 32-years-old. Despite this age difference, she is somewhat in the same position Lorelai was when she got pregnant. Most of the series focused on Rory's struggle to find steady work, she is just as lost in the world as her mother was when she found out she was pregnant.

Rory Gilmore, the girl who everyone thought would have it all figured out, got thrown life's biggest curveball. No one plans to get pregnant when they're single and struggling to find steady work, so what does this show us?

Life happens, and it happens to all of us.

Somehow this ending doesn't really get me mad. As a long time fan of the show it was refreshing to know that was how the series was supposed to end. Of course the timeframe is different, Rory is much older than she was intended to be, but this somehow seems fitting. I feel like I got the closure I needed.

This revival had it all, we saw Lorelai finding herself, Rory becoming who she needs to be and Emily going through the stages of grief.

Overall I was happy with his revival, but I hope we get a spin-off with Rory, Lorelai and Emily being around for Rory's child. This show definetly shows what can happen: Life.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
