With Netflix's new Gilmore Girls segment coming out in November, the Gilmore Girls craze has been heating up more than ever.

Various coffee shops have opened as "Luke's Diner" for the morning in honor of the show, and companies have created apparel and action figures galore.

Gilmore girls is a show packed with attractive boys, witty banter, mom/daughter goals, and sometimes juicy drama. I mean, why wouldn't we be excited? What's not to love?

In honor of my excitement for the new Gilmore Girls episodes, I have compiled a short list of some times Rory Gilmore was your role model.

She got into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.

Throughout the show it was Rory's dream to go to Harvard. Her walls were covered with Harvard posters since the get-go. However, typical Rory, did not just stop there. She applied at all of the Ivy league schools, and what happened? Well, she was accepted into all of them.

She consumed large amounts of food, and stayed skinny.

Every girls dream if were being honest. Let's face it, the girl could eat, and we respected her for it.

She managed to find three attractive boys to (at one point) fancy her at the same time.

First it was Dean, then it was Jess/Dean, then Jess, then Dean again, then Jess comes periodically, then Dean/Logan, then Logan/Jess, and then finally Logan. ...Until she dumps him when he proposes. Complicated? Yes. But Rory pulled it off somehow. (PS: Let's be honest, were still rooting for Jess.)

She always had a book in hand.

Were talking about the girl who brought books to her prom. The girl who had "bus books, textbooks, and lunch books" all in her book bag. It was cute. She made being smart cool. We didn't want to play dumb for boys, we wanted to be smart like Rory.

Her relationship with her mom.

Lorelei, and Rory's witty banter is what made the show what it is. They really were mother/daughter goals.

She was an awesome friend.

She had different friends throughout the show, but she was a great friend to all of them. Any girl that could put up with Paris Geller on a daily basis, has good character.

She became the editor in chief at the Yale Daily News.

She didn't even have to run for the position, they just all elected her because they knew she would be good at it.

There are many reasons that make Rory Gilmore a role model for young girls. One of the most is that she is relate-able. She made being smart cool, and she didn't care much about what others thought of her--everyone loved her for it. She always had a book in hand, and something funny to say. Rory Gilmore made mistakes, and had a lot of successes throughout the show.

I can't wait to see who she's become in these new episodes.

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?
