Gilmore Girls: A Year Of More Loose Ends

ASP left me with more questions than answers in the series revival.

Hello Giggles

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life has been a long time coming and highly anticipated by Gilmore fans both old and new. As November rolled around, I was eager to see the revival and hoped it would live up to my expectations. I was also anxious to see just who I could bum a Netflix password from, else I would have to use that free trial month and remember to cancel my subscription before I got charged, but I digress.

As someone who didn't watch Gilmore Girls growing up, I must admit I did not know what all the hype was about coming from my friends who were long-time fans. But then, Gilmore Girls came to Netflix and I was instantly hooked. I binge watched all seven seasons, taking part in the joy and experiencing the grief as the fictional years in Stars Hollow passed by. And when it was over, I felt a sense of loss, and emptiness at not knowing what was going to happen next. I instantly took to Google and read every article I could. While there were mentions of a movie here and there, nothing was concrete and nothing seemed promising.

But then there it was. The first hint of the revival. It was just a thought, and no one knew if it would come to fruition, but after months and months, it finally did. And the countdown began.


So after months and months of waiting, it was finally here. I did not get through all four episodes in one day, which caused many of my friends to feel disdain since they had to wait to discuss it with me. But Saturday rolled around and I finished "Summer" and "Fall." "Winter" and "Spring" definitely left me wanting more and I needed to know what the last four words were, so I watched, almost straight through.

My "Summer" I was concerned. Where was Jess, and Dean, and Sookie? Why weren't these major characters who I loved so much making a bigger appearance? Was Rory going to end up with anyone? And what about Lorelei and Luke? Were they going to part ways, breaking my heartagain? Nothing made sense. Nothing.

Then "Fall" rolled around and some loose ends got tied up. But as is the Gilmore way, even more loose ends were created. I am reeling from the conclusion of the revival, and I am not quite sure how I feel about it. I wanted answers, and I feel as though I only got more questions. And like the conclusion of the original series, I don't think these questions will be answered anytime soon, if ever.

What did you think of the new Gilmore Girls revival? Did it live up to the hype or are we left with the same dissatisfaction the conclusion of season seven left us with?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
