11 Lessons From Kirk Gleason
Gilmore Girls Wikia

Kirk Gleason has always been an inspiration. He is full of wise words and crazy antics. He may be called the town fool, but he actually has some pretty great advice hidden beneath the surface. This one is for you, Kirk. You've taught us so many things throughout the course of "Gilmore Girls," and the lessons below are just the tip of the iceberg.

1. Expressive dance is creepy.

When Kirk rushed onto the stage to preform this amazing dance, my hopes were sky high. And Kirk totally delivered. However, expressive dance is not in my top ten favorite things. It's probably one of my least favorite things, to be honest...

2. Wait on your Lulu.

Kirk and Lulu showed the world that love at first sight for everyone really does exists. It doesn't matter who you are or how crazy a town thinks you are. Love is possible. #Goals

3. Explore your job interests.

It doesn't matter if you are 15 or 35, it is always okay to explore your job interests. Maybe you want to expand your interest or grow your portfolio. Either way, Kirk never gave up, and neither should you.

4. Don't let the haters get you down.

Everyone in Stars Hallow has put down Kirk at least once, but that has never stopped him from being who he is.

5. It's okay to live with your mom.

No shame. I love my mom. I'd live with her for forever. I probably would have dates at home, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't live there.

6. If you're having nightmares, don't sleep naked.


If you're prone to night terrors, just sleep fully clothed. You wouldn't want your neighbors finding you naked on your rooftop in the morning.

7. We're all naturals at falling.

Gravity does not help my clumsiness. I trip and fall all the time. We're all prone to gravity and its intensity. But the cool thing is, is that it's okay to fall down as long as you get back up.

8. Be careful when you're wearing someone else's pants.

Always be cautious when wearing other people's clothing.

9. Always be precise.

Wording is everything. The words might be synonyms, but word choice still matters.

10. It's okay to not work well under pressure.

Take a deep breath and step back. Reevaluate. Then go tackle the project.

11. You should probs go to the gym.


Instead of a juice diet maybe you should just go to the gym...or just get that gym glow.


Thank you, Kirk, for all of the craziness you brought to one of my favorite shows. You have shown us that you can always be yourself no matter what the circumstance. It's okay to be different, and it's okay to not fit into a certain mold. We're supposed to be our own people. So for that Kirk, we thank you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
