Surviving The Second-Semester Slumpies, As Told By The Girls Of 'Gilmore Girls'

Surviving The Second-Semester Slumpies, As Told By The Girls Of 'Gilmore Girls'
Warner Bros. Television

I'm currently obsessed with the show "Gilmore Girls," starring Lorelai and Rory Gilmore mother and daughter dynamic duo. Going into the series, I had no idea what I was getting myself into but now I'm so glad I did. Everything about the Gilmore girls is hilarious, witty and heartwarming. They're so easy to relate to and they feel like they could genuinely be your next-door neighbors in Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

I haven't finished the entire series, but currently, I am on season 3 and Rory is choosing which college she will attend in the fall of her freshman year. This big life-changing event for her made me think about how funny these two would be on campus and how well they could actually describe many of the feelings and emotions I have been feeling all throughout my first-year college experience.

Surviving second semester is a task that is a little harder than it seems, surprisingly, but using Lorelei and Rory's wit and humor I felt I could explain some of the things I'm feeling during my first few weeks of second semester.

So, kicking off a brand new semester isn't the easiest thing in the world but I guarantee you'll be able to relate to the Gilmore girls' responses to some of second semester's hiccups.

1. When the first week of classes rolls around

2. When you're walking to your 8 a.m. you're not sure why you thought was a good idea looking like the spitting image of death

3. You finally get to go out with your BFFs after spending a month at home and another week in classes

4. Homework starts piling up, quizzes are coming up in the near future, and you're starting to question if you even have a brain anymore

5. You're still not completely used to dining hall food again after being able to eat whatever you wanted at home all break

6. It's Sunday night and you're trying not to spiral into a deep, dark depression about the upcoming week

7. It's Thursday night and all your friends are getting ready to go out and you have an exam at 8 a.m.

8. When you come back to your dorm after a long day of classes and bond with your friends about your equally sucky days

9. Your friend met the "guy of her dreams" at the frat party last weekend and you're trying to explain how bad he is for her but she won't listen

10. It snowed and you're more excited for your friends from California who have never seen snow than they are to see it

11. On your way to class, you completely eat it on the ice and are mad at the world

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.
