All the details you need to know

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...

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
