15 Under Appreciated Babette Moments From Gilmore Girls
Anna Rankin

While most might know her from All in the Family or Nine to Five, I love Sally Struthers for her role on Gilmore girls. Portrayed as the crazy neighbor lady and town gossip, Sally Struthers plays Babette Dell on Gilmore Girls. A lot of her best moments were small moments, thrown in there for some color but were always hysterical nonetheless. Enjoy some of my favorite moments from her. Whether giving advice about men, tormenting her poor husband, or being the crazy neighbor next door, Babette is the best!

1. Eastside Tilly; I kind of liked how they always referred to her as one of the top town gossips, but we never actually saw her. Their descriptions of her were really all you needed.


2. I believer I can recall a few different times Babette felt the need to run through the street after Luke, but lets be real...each time is as entertaining as the last. Note how she's running...



3. Then there was that time that she admitted how one becomes a town gossip. Now all you have to do is get on Facebook to creep on peoples conversations, oh how things change. Definitely one of my top Babette lines "location! location! location!"



4. Then there was the time that she hung Morey from homemade gallows to scare the kids on Halloween. The things we do for love.


5. And then made him drink 30 bottles of coke so she could use the bottles. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.



6. But let's not forget the time she wanted to make him a jungle....


7. She always had great advice on love. Never afraid to tell it like it is.



8. It probably came from all of her own weird experiences...like being in a cult.



9. The time she truly set the bar for nightmares of boyfriends in the past. Only she could have this story in her past...



10. Then finally, the time she described Spring perfectly. "Pow-color coming out of your yin yang!"


11. Her love for her gnomes is about as standard as it gets for a crazy neighbor lady. Pierpont was the one with the pipe, remember?


12. Without Morey, she easily would have been the cat lady. But it's nice of her to keep Kirk in such high regard.


13. And we can't forget the time that she deemed squash 'sexy' in a town meeting.


14. The time she admitted she has a thing for weather men. Never would have crossed my mind to compare them with fortune tellers, but that's priceless.



15. And finally, the time she conveniently neglected to mention that she was describing a game of Twister.



She may have been a side character, but she had some hysterically creative moments thanks to Amy Sherman Palladino. All that to say, Stars Hollow wouldn't have been the same without the colorful Babette Dell.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
