The Gilmore Girls revival is upon us. Everyone's favorite mother/daughter duo is back in action and taking Netflix by storm. While I'm sure I don't really have to convince anyone, I wanted to share five reasons to be excited for the reboot, and what better way to do that than with a snappy and quick listicle, fast talking Lorelai would be so proud.

1. Character development for Michel

Michel Gerard provided lots of comedic sass throughout the show, and became well loved because of his loyalty to Lorelai and Sookie. He was always around to provide snappy one liners that were the show's signature. His comically heavy french accent combined with his posh attitude made him a great contrast to the small town of Stars Hollow. We never really got to know Michel on a deeper level, beyond being a snooty concierge for the inn. I can't wait to see what he is up to in the revival, and see where the writers guide his story. I hope we get a lot more background on the frenchman and a more personal at look who he is.

2. A happy ending for Lorelai and Luke

We all know we want Lorelai to end up with Luke. We have all known that since episode one. The writers toyed with us for so long, pairing them with other people and denying their feelings. When they get together (finally), circumstances tear them apart. While it does appear in the finale that things are fixed between them, it's still a little ambiguous and open ended. I would love to see them finally get the solid and definite happy ending that they both deserve.

3. MORE MELISSA MCCARTHY

Sookie St. James is, in my opinion, the most lovable and dependable character on the show. Melissa McCarthy does an amazing job portraying the quirky and lovable chef. She is a loyal friend, wife and mother. Her eccentricities always bring a smile to my face while I am watching the show. Any problems she faces on the show always seem small compared to those of the other characters, which I kind of appreciate. She keeps the show happy and light, providing guidance and support to everyone else in the story.

4. Mother/ daughter bonding

Rory and Lorelai's relationship is the backbone of the show. While they are family, they are also best friends and I think that is what so many people love about the series. While they do have their conflict from time to time, they are always there for one another. Their relationship touched me because it reminds me a lot of my mom and I, and I am grateful to the show for portraying such a beautiful bond. However, Rory and Lorelai aren't the only mother/daughter duo on the show. Lorelai's conflict with her mother Emily drove a lot of the show as well as we watched them try and learn to trust each other again. Their bond improved over the show, but in the revival I would really like to see them be there for one another and finally bury the hatchet.

5. We finally get to see who Rory will end up with

Rory's character found her way through three major relationships while on the show. She started with Dean, the sweet small town high school sweetheart who took care of her. She then moved on to Jess, the smart and sensitive bad boy who pushed her to be the best she could be when she got a little off track. Her last and arguably most serious relationship was with Logan, the dare devil rich boy who pushed her out of her comfort zone and showed her a new perspective of the world. Personally, I think Logan and Rory loved each other very much and would have a beautiful relationship together, but I also think she never really got her shot with Jess and that life with him would make her very happy as well. I think the general consensus from fans is as long as she doesn't end up with Dean we are happy. Dean was a sweet first boyfriend but she outgrew him. It will be exciting to see who Rory chooses, she is such a special character and deserves a special ending.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
