11 Life Lessons From 'Gilmore Girls'

From quick witted remarks to loving family moments, "Gilmore Girls" is relatable, and a perfect reminder for life lessons even as an adult. Lately I have been watching the show, (thank you Netflix), and have identified with so many of the stories and characters featured in the seven seasons. So here is a list of 11 life lessons, I have recently been reminded of while watching the hilarious lives of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.

1. Food fixes everything.

Yes, that's right food fixes everything. From boy problems, to family movie nights, the Gilmore women know how to eat junk food right and use this "lifestyle" to solve any issue.


2. Take chances!

Logan taught Rory this valuable lesson about getting out of your head and just letting loose once in a while.


3. A loyal friend is all you need.

Once enemies and then later best friends, Paris and Rory were the epitome of a loyal friendship. Paris' bulldog personality proved her to be a valuable friend as she often stood up for Rory when necessary.


4. You can't always get what you want.

A sad, but true lesson shown throughout the series. However, the show always proved that getting what you want isn't always necessary the best for you.


5. Be yourself.

From silly dances, to Lorelai's extreme coffee addiction, the characters of Stars Hallow always remained true to themselves and proved that this is the best way to live life.


6. PMS can happen to anyone…even men.

Michel's hilarious comebacks and quips due to his emotional mood swings were always a great addition to the show and confirmed that men too can be quite sassy.


7. How to flirt…and how not to flirt.

The Gilmore women had their fare share of relationships throughout the series, and showed viewers the best and worst ways to make an impression.


8. It's okay to sing your feelings.

Yes, this was an emotional moment in the series, and proved that sometimes you just need to belt out those honest feelings if you are having trouble saying them in person.


9. Know your skills and appreciate them.

Lorelai was always a very honest character and was open about her faults very comically throughout the show.


10. Everyone has their own personal path.

The main characters of the series had a variety of life paths throughout the series and demonstrated that even the best laid life plans often change for the better.


11. COFFEE = EVERYTHING.

One of the most relatable aspects, especially for any college students, was Lorelai's coffee addiction. She remained open and honest for her love of coffee, and verified that coffee is a must at every meal!

So that was a quick list of the many life lessons featured on "Gilmore Girls." As the Fall weather moves in and the air gets a little too chilly to head outside, curl up on the couch, with Netflix, junk food, and plenty of coffee and relive some these many iconic moments from Stars Hallow.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
