Three Things I Missed From 'A Year In The Life'

It was practically perfect, but a 'Gilmore Girls' lover has to nag about something

Three Things I Missed From 'A Year In The Life'
The Hollywood Reporter

A Year in the Life was exactly what I needed to find love in Gilmore Girls once again. After all, that was my favorite show to come home and watch reruns after middle and high school on ABC Family way back when. Yet, there were a few things I missed from this epic reunion. Most of these are not Netflix's fault, I understand that have to deal with what cards they are dealt from Netflix turning this into their version of it. Yet, this is a Gilmore-lover finding things to nag about.

1. The Theme Song

WHERE YOU LEAD I WILL FOLLOW... Literally used to belt along to the theme song or run in the room if I was not already glued to the couch watching it. I freaking missed it. The cute little mother-daughter moments shown in it. I just felt like the theme song was perfect for the show and it being taken away just was not cool with me. Although I am sure it came down to copyright bull, c'mon Netflix fight the fight for it.

2. Grandpa aka Richard

Rest in peace Edward Hermann. Ugh, I just missed his character. He added a whole new element to the show. He was not only Emily's rock, but he would always straighten out Rory and Lorelei when necessary. His character was just impeccable and exactly what the show needed. I felt like a piece of it was lost without him, especially dinners with just Emily. What a great actor that is truly missed from this show.

3. Rory being the mother of the relationship

Does anyone else miss Rory keeping Lorelei in check? I do. Lorelei was almost too motherly. It kind of freaked me out a little. Did Lorelei somehow get her life together as Rory's is slowly falling apart? How does her character just all of a sudden become the almost typical, imperfect motherly figure? I'm not too sold on this idea, but hey I get it's for a plot twist.

Gilmore Girls is perfect. A Year in the Life is practically perfect, besides the bits and pieces I like to nag about. I am excited to see where Netflix takes this show, especially with how it ended.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
