From Coffee to Troubadours

Twelve Ways Gilmore Girls Changed My Life

The first time I watched Gilmore Girls, I was curled up in my dorm room with autumn misty rain falling outside. It was my first semester of college, and my room was decorated with twinkling string lights and autumn leaves I had pressed and collected. Life was bright and new and at the same time, homey. After a few episodes of Gilmore Girls, my sense of homey-ness had extended to Stars Hollow. When I think of Gilmore Girls, I think of that fall - but Gilmore Girls has left its own mark on my life. Since that first fall day of meeting the Gilmores, everyday life has never been the same, and from it I have found...

1.Several new ways to order coffee


2. The addition of "danish day" to my life

"Danish day, the happiest of all days."

3. A revolution in the celebration of Thanksgiving

4. Alternate purposes for deviled eggs

5. A deep seated, if misplaced, belief in the power of dessert to alleviate all awkwardness

7. A mistrust of deer...

8. ...and swans.

9. Faith in the romance of snow

10. New appreciation for the romance of gnomes

11. Rory Gilmore's "polite-yet-confrontational" skills

12. A new awareness of the deficiency of troubadours in my life

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is.
