The Road to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

All the details you need to know

The Road to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Way back in 2010, Lauren Graham had an interview with Vanity Fair where she let out that "people with power" just MIGHT make a Gilmore Girls movie, but as of yet, only the fans were talking about this. It wasn't until 2013 that we heard any more talk about the movie, again from Lauren Graham. She explains in Twitter, however, that it's up to Amy Sherman-Palladino to make that happen.

Our next round of information wouldn't come for another two years. In May 2015, E! News reported that Scott Patterson appeared on a Gilmore Guys podcast and explained that "there are talks going on...but [he] can't really go into any detail, but there is some activity. But, come to find out, that was merely false hope because Patterson felt it was long overdue that the fans get SOMETHING. Just a month afterwards, Sherman-Palladinosaid, however, that there was currently nothing in the making, but that if something were to happen, it would need to be perfect.

Flash-forward four months and it is announced that Netflix has made a contract with Warner Bros. Netflix will make four 90 minute episodes and we may finally learn what those FOUR FINAL WORDS ARE. By this point, many of the original cast was on board. And in January 2016 it was confirmed by Netflix and Warner Bros. and we were given a tentative title: Gilmore Girls: Seasons. Four more months later, we were given it's official title along with a teaser poster.


Overthe course of the past 11 months we have found out just who will be reviving their old roles in the new four episodes/mini-movies. Of course Lorelai, Rory, Emily, and Luke would be returning, but many others, too, like Jess, Logan, and Dean, Babette, Taylor, and Miss Patty, and even Jackson and Sookie. There are so many others who are coming back to their roles one last time.

The original show first aired when I was only five, so my love for Gilmore Girls didn't come until much later. By the time I hit middle school this mother and daughter duo was my favorite way to unwind after school. I watched re-runs all the time. It wasn't until my sophomore year of college (just two years ago) that I finally watched it beginning to end on Netflix. I cried and laughed and got angry with the characters and they became part of the family. When it was officially announced that the revival was truly happening, I was on cloud 9. I'm sure there were others, those who followed the show when it first aired, that were happier than I, but honestly as long as they do this right, we'll all be this happy:

Just under two weeks to go...

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.
