What In The Gilmore?

I have so many emotions after finally returning to Stars Hollow and I never want to leave.

What In The Gilmore?
Telegraph
This is an article full of spoilers so if you haven't made it through all four episodes of the Gilmore Girls revival series -- just stop reading. If you have finished, or you're weird like me and want to spoil it (yes, I did that), then proceed my friend.

This Netflix revival actually felt like I was seeing old friends for the first time in forever, and even though I didn't get to see nearly enough Sookie, it was a pretty magical experience. So much happened in these four episodes, like I swear this is such a timeless show and I feel like we've missed out so much on the last 9 years of the Gilmore Girls' lives. The three generations of Gilmore women have so much going on and after binge watching the new episodes, I have a lot of thoughts about where each of them are at in their crazy lives.

First of all, I don't think I have ever felt such hatred toward Rory. How did she forget about how boyfriend every time he left? It was funny at first, but it quickly turned sour when you realized she was also cheating on him with her very engaged ex-boyfriend Logan Huntzberger. That girl has no remorse and I seriously was so over her teenage behavior; like please act 32 and not 15, dude. I just can't condone her stupid choices after she already slept with Dean when he was married, doesn't she remember how terrible that situation turned out to be? Also, why is she so stuck in the past? She needs to find a new man, preferably not a Paul, and move on. I think she's a little too slutty and a little too much like her mother for her own good at this point.

On to Lorelai- how are her and Luke just now tying the knot? Why is she so afraid of commitment? I am so glad they finally decided to get married but like damn why did they wait nearly a decade- we all know they are meant to be and always have been. Even with all of that being said, I probably loved her character even more (is that even a possibility?) in this mini-series than I did in the original 7 seasons. I seriously felt like after the death of Richard, something just clicked in her and this 48-year-old woman finally started to let go of her past. It took her long enough, but watching her grow and change and just accept life was actually something I was waiting for throughout the entirety of the original show. The mending of her relationship with Emily is finally really happening and I think that was really evident as well as important character growth on both of their parts.

Speaking of Emily, I know we all felt an array of emotions seeing that woman in jeans and a t-shirt. At first, it was shocking and then it just turned sad, she was in so much pain the majority of this season and I think we all felt at least a little bit of that pain. I think Richard's passing was the planting of a milestone to come in her life. Of course, she'll never forget her late husband and her home in Hartford, but moving to a new place and starting a life she never imagined would be her's is really amazing. She just seemed so free and so in her element at the end of these four episodes. That was definitely my favorite part of this entire series.

Now that we're talking about endings, this is the part you've all been waiting for...the last four words:

"Mom,"
"Yeah."
"I'm pregnant."

What in the hell was that? Why did they leave us with so many unanswered questions? They obviously want us to think this baby is Logan's and leave it at that. But we all saw the old flame sparking up between her and Jess,and who knows what they did in their off screen time...I have no actual guesses as to who the father is but I seriously hope they don't try to end our Gilmore Girls journey with those four words and nothing more. We need more -- our favorite Stars Hollow fam can't go back into hiding for another decade.

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.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

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.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
