Reasons Why You Should Be #TeamJess

In lieu of the upcoming Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life revival, fans are constantly speculating about who Rory Gilmore would end up with: Logan, Dean or Jess. While there are always argument for each of Rory's beaus, here is some reasons why you should be rooting for Team Jess.

His knowledge of literature.

This is something that you can't compare to Rory's other boyfriend's. Jess matched Rory on an intellectual level (and so did Logan), but he also had a fondness for the same books as Rory; not to mention, they loved the same music and movies, too.

The way he quotes literature the same as Rory.

As an English Major, this is top notch.

That Jess knows Rory, better than anyone else.

Jess called Rory on all of her mistakes and he knew her inside and out. He knew something was wrong and cared about her so deeply.

That he never stopped loving Rory.

He never stopped caring about he and never wanted anybody else.

This.

Jess tells Rory, years after their relationship ended, that he couldn't have written his book without her. Rory helped Jess realize who he was, but even more so Jess helped Rory find herself too.

His sense of humor.

Jess's wit always matched something similar to that of Lorelai Gilmore herself. Rory admired the fact he could always make her laugh, because it set her at ease in any situation.

That you could never catch Jess without a book in hand.

Rory always carried a book with her, just like Jess.

He looked it up.

Enough said.

Fast forward...

In this clip from the revival, Rory and Jess are still in each other's lives. However, this quote says even more. Rory is referencing Marlon Brando's speech from On the Waterfront, which Jess not only catches but responds to. They get each other, even through the little things.

It is what it is.

Rory impulsively went to see Jess to cheat on Logan like he cheated on her, but couldn't because she's Rory. Jess saw her, the way he always does, and accepted her for who she is. While he jumped at the chance to be with her again, he understood her in the end.

Forever team Jess.

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!

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.

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.
