Gilmore Girl's Sweet 16: A Tribute to Luke's Diner

October 5, 2016, what a day what a day.

Gilmore Girl's Sweet 16: A Tribute to Luke's Diner

It was a normal day of me laying in my bed when my friend sent me a link with the words "Stars Hollow" in it. Every Gilmore Girl's fan knows these two words well considering we watched Rory grow up in this small town in Connecticut. I clicked the link and it said something along the lines of a Luke's Diner coming to a town near you. In the small town of Geneseo, nothing is ever coming near me. As I searched down the list I saw two locations in Rochester and it was settled. I got my roommate on board and we were going.

Wednesday October 5, 2016

6:00am

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, as did a bunch of Gilmore Girls fans knowing that we had to get to our location early before a line formed. Luke's would be serving free coffee for 5 hours starting at 7am and I had to get my cup before the day ended. Granted I had a test at 11:30 but it didn't matter much to me. We hit the road, and were off on our 40 minute drive to a random coffee shop in Rochester that stood as Luke's for the times being. Flannel and backwards hat on fleek.

6:40am

Sunrise.

7:12am

We made our arrival and the line was already out the door and circling around. Great. On the line we realize that we might be here for hours. We don't have hours until our classes but that's okay. This will be worth it.

8:00am

We are still waiting.

8:30am

Still waiting.

8:42am

I can see into the coffee shop. There is a sign on the door saying that if I don't agree to Netflix's terms and conditions do not enter. Obviously life is too short to read the directions and this was a risk I was willing to take. We entered the door and the oh so familiar "No Cell Phones" sign was there to greet us. One by one we got our cup of black coffee covered in a Luke's coffee sleeve. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. The smell of coffee beans was every where and the cups in our hands was enough to warm us back up because the line outside had made us cold. We took our coffees to go and were en route home. But not without taking 13430743 pictures first.

9:15am

Caffeine high kicks in. Mistakes were made. BUT I got a free snapchat filter.

To say the least, this was every Gilmore Girls lover's dream. The revival is a little over a month away, the updates keep coming, and the excitement just keeps growing. Until we meet again Gilmore Girls.

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!

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.
