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

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
