Lorelai and Rory Gilmore are undoubtedly the best television mother/daughter duo. For seven seasons, they went through some of the best and worst times together. The show hasn't been on the air since 2007, and with the recent revival, I took it upon myself to binge watch the series. At 14 years-old I didn't fully appreciate the comedic genius or the lessons the show had to offer. Here's a list of 14 things I learned about life from one of the best shows to ever be syndicated.

1. Don't let anyone tell you five cups of coffee is too much


2. Don't say "I love you" unless you absolutely mean it

3. Follow your dream


4. Don't settle for good, go for great

5. If you have something to say, event as an intern, say i

6. Dress like you're going to meet your idol at your mom's inn one summer morning


7. Read

8. Take the leap


9. Your mother is, pretty much, always right

10. Third times a charm, even when it comes to men

11. Pack for the weather, Martha's Vineyard in February is quite chilly

12. Don't relive your past, but don't forget it either

13. Go to Europe, backpack and sleep on a park bench if you have to

14. Don't resent your parent

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
