With the first trailer for "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" having just come out, we are all hit by yet another wave of Gilmore madness. We're so ready for things to move at Gilmore pace again, but it seems that time will only drag on until November 26th. In an effort to tide everyone over for a bit longer, here's a definitive ranking of the Gilmore Girls' other halves. And we're talking major boyfriends here (sorry Marty).

6. Max Medina

Let's be honest. We all knew this Season 1 love wouldn't last. Max Medina was totally wrong for Lorelai from the beginning, but hey, we all make mistakes.

5. Dean Forester

Kind of the same as Max. We all know that he was right for Rory at the moment, but that it would never last. He also made Rory make some terrible decisions (aka losing her virginity to a married man). He understood her on a surface level, like the fact that she loves books. He didn't get her life at Chilton or her ambition to do something other than live in Stars Hollow forever, so he had to go.

4. Christopher Hayden

Yes, he was Lorelai's first love, her high school sweetheart, Rory's dad, etc., but he abandoned her and Rory when they needed him most. Then, when he decided to come back somewhat full time, he wanted to step into the role of a dad. Not cool, Chris. Then there was that brief time that Lorelai and Christopher were married and Gigi took over Rory's room, and he couldn't tell Lorelai hated the furniture. It was so obvious. He just didn't get her.

3. Logan Huntzberger

I know, people will revolt against this one. The big Jess vs. Logan debate, but in my eyes, there is no debate. Logan tends to be a spoiled rich kid who doesn't understand Rory. His dad is absolutely horrible to her until he thinks he can use her to influence Logan. He continuously screws up, and when confronted about it, it's always "I'll change. I'll change my ways." Does he ever? No. Empty promises, Logan. They don't fly with me. In addition, he looked down on Luke during the episode this screenshot is from, and anyone who looks down on Luke is a bad guy in my book. AND his last name reminds me of Burgermeister Meisterberger from that Christmas claymation movie, and he was a bad guy too. #Sorrynotsorry

2. Luke Danes

Let's be real. We all knew from the first episode that Luke and Lorelai belong together. They have their ups and downs, but honestly, there was never anyone else for either of them. They have had obstacles like both of them being married to different people, exes coming back into the picture, and even a surprise kid appear. Luckily we now know that they are still together (at least for now) thanks to the trailer. Thank goodness. Now if they can just keep it together for one more year in the life of the Gilmores, we may be in the clear.

1. Jess Mariano

Don't even try to argue with me here because he is obviously hands-down the best, and I will argue this point forever. He understands Rory on a level deeper than the other two major boyfriends. He pushed her to be a more adventurous person like Logan does, but with about fifty percent less pouting. She consistently shows how much she cares about Jess (going to New York to say goodbye), and he consistently shows how much he cares about Rory (showing up at Yale to see her). Look at the way he looks at her. He also isn't afraid to call her out when she's being stupid or over-privileged, or too much of a goody-goody. Yes, he can be dark and broody, but his love of books and the way that he and Rory compliment each other lands him at the top of this list just above his uncle.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
