" Gilmore Girls" is a drama-filled TV show that revolves around a mother daughter relationship. Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter, Rory, move to a small town of Stars Hallow and their lives are surrounded by friends and loved ones that bring spectacle and obstacles. The majority of viewers became obsessed with this show and couldn’t help but be envious of the unique bond this duo shared. However, even the most concentrated fans may not have heard some of these facts and bloopers that the writer/actors overlooked when filming:

1. The infamous theme song, “Where You Lead” is sung by Carole King and her daughter Louise Goffin.

If you are a true "Gilmore Girls" fan then you would definitely have already known this, however, did you know that they actually starred Carole King in the TV show? She was the music store owner that sold Lane her drum set, and was her mentor!

2. Kirk before he was “Kirk.”

Before Sean Gunn played the role of Kirk in Gilmore Girls, he played Mick, who was the DSL installer that was hired by Emily to set up faster internet into Lorelai’s house in season one! We never saw Mick again after that episode but Sean Gunn was later casted as Kirk for the rest of the show!

3. Where is Lane’s dad?

For the first two seasons of the show, Lane’s dad was constantly mentioned, but we were never introduced to the character!

4. Michel was the only character in the show to never seem to show interest into finding love.

The only relationship that Michel was paired with was with his mother, well, and Celine Dion. When it came to finding a love interest, he only mentioned he was going to be going on a date in maybe one or two episodes. So other than showing interest in his two puppies, Chin-Chin and Paw-Paw, we never find out if Michel has feelings for anymore.

5. One of the craziest characters in the show was Jackson’s spine-chilling older brother Bo.

What took me forever to realize that he grew up to be Parks and Recreation character, Ron Swanson! I will never look at Ron the same ever again…

6. I never understood why Rory was granted valedictorian of her school.

She was transferred into the school year later, took her weeks to catch up on the school work, and was given a D once. Meanwhile, her friend Paris Geller was straight A student since preschool and never missed a day of school.

7. Rory Gilmore was a Hilary Clinton fan.

Probably not a good thing to bring up in 2016, but hopefully she has seen the world outside of that small town and opened her eyes a bit.

8. Lane Kim actor, Keiko Agena, was actually 27 years old when the first episode aired!

Good God that girl is going to age well.

When you are watching the "Gilmore Girls" revival show that is supposed to air in November, be sure to look out for some new fun and crazy twists that the show may bring!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
