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.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
