Where The Gilmore Girls Would Eat If They Lived In Athens, OH

And more importantly where they would get their coffee.

As the "Gilmore Girls" revival is just days away from coming to Netflix, all true fans of the show have been arguing over which “team” they’re on (#TeamJess, #TeamDean, #TeamLogan). The small segments of videos, photos posted by the cast and endless articles about the revival have left much up to debate, and we’re all in suspense. But there are tidbits of information that we all know to be true: They both still need their coffee with their oxygen, and their diets still call for ample amounts of junk food that would cause any normal person to gain a hundred pounds. So if Rory and Lorelei lived in Athens, this is a navigation guide as to where we could find them dining and drinking coffee on a regular basis:

1. USD

Although nothing can compare to Luke’s, the dynamic duo would have to find a replacement for their favorite diner. And what better way than to replace it with the best diner in Athens? They serve coffee and all of the brunch essentials.

2. Donkey Coffee

Donkey has the absolute best coffee known to Athens. Unfortunately, there’s no diner effect that offers endless fries and pancakes, but both Gilmore girls have a special appreciation for an exceptional cup of joe. It’s almost as if their lives depend on it.

3. Bagel Street

Bagel Street has a lot to offer the Gilmores. They have everything from plain bagels to dessert bagels to bagels loaded up with meat and everything in between. Obviously Bagel Street wouldn't suffice as a full meal in the Gilmore household, but it could be a nice snack to pick up on the way to the Dragonfly Inn.

4. O’Betty’s

We can’t forget hotdogs, and no one has better Athens hotdogs than O’Betty’s. While both women could go for a plain jane hot dog, something says they’d both be down for some chili and even coleslaw smothered on top.

5. Court Street Coffee

This is the perfect stop for a cup of coffee before a long day of dreaded shopping. It's uptown and can be easily on the way.

6. China King

Chinese food is not a good enough meal by itself for either Gilmore, but it's a vital dish for ordering out. While there are other Chinese food restaurants in Athens, China King provides the most variety.

7. Courtside Pizza

Grease. Chinese can not stand alone. Thus, some "slice night" pizza will go well with China King carry out.

8. Nelson and Shively dining halls

While Nelson offers more variety, which is clearly a Gilmore essential, Shively has more greasy food. Boyd is clearly too healthy and there's no pizza or fries, so what's the point?

9. The Cider House

This isn’t the typical Rory, Lorelei duo hotspot. It’s a little too expensive and sophisticated but would be a good alternative to the diner life if Emily were to drop by for a surprise visit. Younger adults living in Athens don’t frequent the Cider House, but it’s nice to take parents to when they’re in town. Emily would most likely find something wrong with the upscale restaurant but she’ll get over it.

We're all ready for the revival and can't get enough of these 30 second Facebook teasers. So make sure to grab some Gilmore girls essentials — pizza, Chinese, hot dogs and throw in some tater tots (they're organic) — and get ready to celebrate, or cry, depending on which #boyfriendteam you belong to. Happy Gilmore Girls watching!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
