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

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.

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.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
