Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
Entertainment Tonight

November can’t come fast enough! Not only do we look forward to Thanksgiving and all the delicious food, but now we can get excited about the return of “Gilmore Girls”! It was announced months ago that Netlfix would launch the return of “Gilmore Girls” and people went nuts. I personally yelped once I heard the news.

“Gilmore Girls” is a wonderful show (I secretly wished that I lived in Stars Hallow, not going to lie) that represents the relationship between a mother and daughter in a quaint town in Connecticut. Not only do we see the bond between a single mother and her brilliant daughter but we also get a look into their quirky, liberal and opinionated neighbors and co-workers, which makes the show all the more realistic. We’ve seen Rory grow up and choose between Dean, Jess (my favorite) and Logan. We’ve seen the heartache that both Lorelai and Rory have dealt with, the gossip of town and disappointments in life.

The show puts me in this cozy, warm and welcoming feeling. I feel like I’m right there with them dealing with these issues and I relate to a famous quote from a scene in the series, “It’s not just a show, it’s a lifestyle."

Which is the exact way I view this series. They deal with typical issues that people of all ages can relate to and it’s refreshing to see that.

“Gilmore Girls: Revival” will focus on all four seasons (summer, fall, winter, and spring) and show where the characters are in their lives. The majority of the original cast is back, which is fantastic! Everyone is anxiously waiting for November to arrive. Here are some reasons to get excited for this premiere.

1.) Luke’s Diner! Not only is Luke wonderful in his own “I hate the world and people” way, but he genuinely is someone most people grew to love and adore on this show. His relationship with Lorelai is just adorable. Plus, who doesn’t want a cup of coffee (or 5, for Lorelai) from Luke’s?

2.) The shenanigans and bickering between Michel and Lorelai. Michel worked the front desk at the inn Lorelai managed. His sassy, yet honest comments were spot on and realistic. Majority of the time Lorelai annoyed Michel, but deep down he truly cherished the friendship.

3.) Kirk! Oh, Kirk. Kirk had many jobs in Stars Hallow. He was a mailman, worked in the local center, worked in grocery stores, etc. He was the most random and dorky character but you couldn’t help but adore his weirdness.

4.) Dean Forester. Good guy Dean, who stole Rory’s heart in the beginning and truly cared for her throughout the show. I’m interested to see what he’s up to.

5.) Jess Mariano. Gosh, there is just something about a bad boy who can read a damn book (I know it sounds ridiculous but it's true). Although now, I realize how much of a jerk he was to Rory. Yet he showed his vulnerable and caring side as well. He was a smart guy, he just didn’t apply himself. Dying to see where he ended up.

6.) Emily Gilmore. Lorelai and Emily never got along, but always tried to maintain some kind of relationship for Rory. Forcing your daughter and granddaughter to have dinner with you every Friday night is totally normal. Right?

7.) Stars Hallow. The cutest and coziest town ever. Too bad it doesn’t actually exist, because I’ve contemplated moving there when I was younger. I’m looking forward to seeing how things have changed in town or if they kept everything the same.

8.) The relationship between Lorelai and Rory: Where are they in life, are they still close, does Rory live in another state, etc.

9.) The theme song: I missed hearing the song oddly enough. It’s perfect for the show.

There are tons of reasons why I’m excited for this show! Sometimes watching one of your favorite shows just puts you in a certain state of mind and brings memories back. It’s a good feeling; it makes you think of simple times where people actually talked at coffee shops and wanted to get involved in local events. But hey, things change and so do people. Let’s see what they’ll have in store for us.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
