Thoughts On 'Gilmore Girls' Revival

WARNING: Major Spoilers Ahead. Don't read if you didn't watch.

The Gilmore Girls Revival was a highly anticipated worldwide event, and let me just say, it was worth it (mostly). Of course, there were some parts that I wish didn’t waste valuable screen time like the Stars Hollow musical preview… what was that and why did it waste twenty precious minutes?!


Regardless, I’m thankful the revival exists; still, I was hoping all questions would be answered, but instead, we’re left with another cliff hanger and the great debate of 2016: Who is the father of Rory’s child?

Honestly, I assumed it was Logan’s—much to my dismay because I’m team Jess—but after talking with a friend, she brought up how the ‘Wookiee’ could be the father.

It makes sense. It’s so random and out of character that Rory would sleep with a random guy, so for it to be written in the script leads me to wonder that perhaps the Wookiee is the father.

Though I was completely shocked to find out Rory was pregnant, I’ll admit it was a nice ‘full-circle’ moment. I imagine Rory with a blue eyed daughter, perhaps named Lorelai, and obviously her mother, and Emily helping her out. While it’s a comforting thought, I wish we had gotten the scene where Rory is in the hospital, baby girl in arms, next to a beaming Lorelai. Perhaps my overactive imagination is running amok, but wouldn’t it be nice?

While we’re on the subject of Rory Gilmore, I have mixed emotions about her as far as character development goes. I get her existential crisis—believe me, it’s highly relatable— but it just felt highly unlike her. I hated how she was with Paul and how no one seemed to remember him… again, highly unlike Rory. And the fact that she cheated on him with Logan perturbed me a bit. I’ve also had mixed emotions about Logan since the original Gilmore Girls, but I liked him in the Revival—I just didn’t like how he was cheating on his fiancee, even if it was with our beloved Rory.

If one good thing came from Rory’s upheaval, it was the book. I nearly bawled my eyes out when Lorelai told her to make the title ‘Gilmore Girls’—drop the word ‘the.’ (Nice touch, Amy Sherman-Palladino.)

The best part, in my opinion, is obviously Luke and Lorelai’s wedding. I mean, FINALLY. I’ve been waiting for that moment since season 1, episode 1. Luke’s little freak-out about thinking Lorelai was going to leave him was kind of adorable, as I adore a vulnerable Luke considering it’s a rare occurrence. I secretly had hoped they’d have a kid, but I’ve accepted that ship has long sailed.

Also as far as character development goes, I think it was great (and somewhat heartbreaking) to watch Emily deal with Richard’s death. She seemed to have evolved the most, and while it was definitely surprising she ended up working at a museum, I was oddly satisfied with it.

Finally, I can’t finish this piece without professing my total adoration of Paris Geller. I loathed her in the first few seasons of the show, but it was refreshing to see how she and Rory developed such a unique and close bond. I love her feistiness and I love how she ended up doing exactly what she wanted to do. Her job was perfect for her. The scene at Chilton where she and Rory were in the bathroom together, freaking out about Tristan (by the way, where was Chad Michael Murray?!) was hysterical. I won’t lie, though, I wish she and Doyle didn’t get divorced, but hey, at least their kids were adorable.

I could go on and on about the Gilmore Girl Revival but these were my incessant thoughts and opinions that I just had to share with fellow GG fans.

I’ll continue to bite my nails, hoping we’ll get another season; I’m just not ready to say goodbye.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
