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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
