It's True: A 'Gilmore Girls' Revival Is Actually Happening
MTV

On October 19, Michael Ausiello, a reporter for TVLine, broke that "Gilmore Girls" is set for a limited-time series revival of the wildly famous Warner Bros. series.

Commence freak out...NOW.

The show, known for it's quick wit, family drama, and coffee addiction, ended on a rather sour note, after a seventh season aired without the input of show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, due to contract issues with Warner Bros.

Thus far, it has been reported that Sherman-Palladino will write the episodes, and plans to conclude the show the way that she had always planned it.

When the cast reunited over the summer, Sherman-Palladino kept the door open for the possibility of a revival by saying, "If it ever happened, I promise we'll do it correctly."

Although it's only four 90-minute episodes/mini-movies that are scheduled to be aired, it's better than the entire seventh season that left us confused and hurt with the seemingly quick goodbye to Stars Hollow.

It has been reported that several show favorites are set to return to Stars Hollow. Among them, our favorite mother and daughter pair, Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel. We're sure the coffee will be in their hands moments into the first episode. Scott Patterson will be returning as the lovable grumpy diner owner, Luke Danes, and most importantly, Lorelai's on-and-off love interest. Kelly Bishop will come back as Emily Gilmore, but will sadly be without her husband Richard, as actor Edward Hermann passed away at the end of 2014 from a brain tumor. Fingers crossed that Melissa McCarthy will come back as the clumsy chef, Sookie St. James.

Among things fans hope to have settled:

1. What happened to Luke and Lorelai?

As the seventh season ended, within the last five minutes of the series finale we see Luke and Lorelai kissing once again, after she got divorced from Christopher. We all know that Lorelai has an issue with commitment, after sticking with her through her many relationships throughout the seven seasons. What really happened to the couple who everyone was cheering for?

2. How did Rory do on the campaign trail with Obama?

In the end episode, we see that Rory gets offered her dream job as a reporter on the Obama campaign. When the show finished airing, Obama was still a Senator in Illinois. Now, with his 2008 campaign a success, we are left to wonder: How did Rory do on the campaign? And is she finally working at the New York Times?! Is she the new Christiane Amanpour who she always admired?

3. Did Rory ever cross paths with Logan again?

What happened once Rory turned down Logan's proposal? She asked him if it has to be an ultimatum, and he said yes. Now we wonder, did Logan ever realize his mistake and try to make amends with Rory, or did he stay away and go on fabulously dangerous adventures with Colin and Finn?

4. Did Paris ever marry Doyle?

Paris has always been the firecracker of the show, and fans never got closure on what really happened to the relationship that began in the newsroom of the Yale Daily News. Will we finally have answers to what happened once Paris graduated from Yale?

5. Did Hep Alien ever rock again?

The band with which Lane and Zach's relationship all began. We all remember when Lane was pregnant with her twins, Steve and Kwan, and desperately wanted to rock with the band again, and was disappointed when they were all too baby-crazy to play. Did they ever return to the stage with Steve and Kwan cheering them on from the sidelines?

6. Is Kirk still living with his mother?

He's been the town oddball since the beginning, and his relationship with his mother has always been a point on the show. Even when he is dating Lulu, he constantly speaks of his mother. Now, fans must know, did Kirk ever move out on his mom, or did he stay with her, because he simply can't find it in himself to move out? And did he marry Lulu?

via Tumblr

7. Most importantly...are Friday night dinners still occurring?

This is the most important question. We know they'll never be the same without Richard, but it's a tradition that we have grown to know and love. We're sure Emily would insist that they continue, no matter what, but will we finally see a dinner, and possibly a maid that lasts for more than one episode?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
