Gilmore Girls: A Love Shattered In Four Syllables

Gilmore Girls: A Love Shattered In Four Syllables
The CW

I was brought to tears by the warmest reminiscent ending of wedding magic that any Gilmore Girls fan had yearned for since the show's debut. Amy Sherman-Palladino sure did know how to bring streams of tears to an urgent and uncomfortable halt.

Rory Gilmore, the mystified, intelligent, and ruthless character we grew up to love and quickly hate, incurred extreme loathe in her final four (three words, four syllables) words.

A scene of magic showcased the happy budding couple in their exchange of vows on a mystical Fall colored eve. Stars Hollow lit up with uniform lights, drapes dangling from trees, everything in sight garnished with flowers, brought to life an Alice and Wonderland-esque themed wedding rehearsal of pure joy.

Emotions heightened through the episode's array of surprises: Gilmore household dances, TV’s favorite iconic mother-daughter duo's fits of rambling, the Luke and Lorelai dynamic we’ve all grown to love since their first coffee banter, Suki’s return to the Dragonfly trio, Palladino’s witty pop culture references that have become more so understandable with age, the run-in with Dean and the corn starch, Jess’s heartbreak moment, Pop Tarts, late night pizza and coffee talks, Paul Anka, and couch snoozes, just to name a few occurrences of extreme nostalgia.

The long hard wave of emotion drifted over as the dynamic that opened up Gilmore Girls to the world of mothers and daughter, lovers, friends, young and old — A love at first ‘cup’ — intertwined all the magic that the show had brought into lives a mere sixteen years ago.

Palladino set viewers up for the perfect tear jerking, stone-cold, heartless, slap of reality, ending. To viewers who yearned to know Palladino's intended last four words ever since Warner Brothers ended her contract a season early in 2007, the reality of this anticipated moment throws you back, mouth agape, breathless, and immobile — an instant tear drying remedy, that’s for certain.

If you weren’t quite sure if Rory Gilmore was a heartless and inept character following her freshman year at Yale, Palladino’s ending is bound to reassure you of her inadequacy. A bit too much reality convoluted the idealistic relationship that is the Gilmore Girls: one we all hoped to gain closure with, not open-endedness.

Now, let’s all take a moment to wipe our brains of the trauma generated by the misshapen revamp of this nostalgic favorite childhood show, and reminisce on the former warmth that the Gilmore Girls brought into so many lives back in 2000.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
