A Review of 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life'

I'm still left with questions

A Review of  'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life'

As an avid Netflix binge watcher, I've fallen in love with many different series and get crushed when they all came to an end, especially the ones that were left unfinished. One of them was 'Gilmore Girls.' The show that followed a young mom and her daughter throughout their life in a small town. We all got to watch as Rori Gilmore grew up from high school to her college graduation. Netflix decided to revive the series and created 'A Year In The Life' and it was the best news I have gotten since the show ended.

I had high expectations for the series. I thought that all of my questions would be answered when I watched the new series. Who would Rori choose and what happened to Lorelai and Luke? The series made me both laugh and cry. It was emotional and it tugged at your heart strings. If you watched the series from beginning to end like I did, the story of what happened to the mother and daughter duo was told perfectly. Rori wasn't the perfect girl and she was having problems on her own, but she found what she was supposed to do in the end. Lorelai and Luke were meant to be and we didn't get much time to see them grow as the couple in the original series, but thankfully in the year we saw the ups and downs the couple faced. In the end, everything worked out. While the series was fantastic with appearances from even the smallest characters in the show, it still didn't answer the forever question. What happened to Rori? We saw all of her potential forever-afters moved on but in the end, Rori announces that she is pregnant. We never get the closure about who she chooses.

After doing some research online there is no telling whether the author set it up for an addition to the series or if this is truly the end of the 'Gilmore Girls'. We can only hope that we'll get to see what happens next with Rori and if she follows in her mother's footsteps and raises the child on her own or goes and tells Logan that she is having his baby before he gets married. Even then, the series still ended with an open door with Jess. While we may never know what happens to our girl Rori, I am forever thankful that we got to see our favorite characters one more time. The series showed that no matter what winter, spring, summer, or fall all they had to do was call.

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.
