In honor of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life coming to Netflix in just a few weeks *squeals with delight* I thought it would be fitting to show why I love the show so much: Rory. So, here are some things people have told me over the past couple of months and how I've responded.

1. Caroline does/says something stupid "At least you're pretty"

2. Getting my first textbook for college and buying Plato's Republic

3. "You should act your age"

4. "Caroline why did you do that?"

5. "Caroline, you need to make your own appointments now."

6. "The test is in two days"

7. 8 AM professor asks why we aren't responding in class

8. "Oh, you're engaged and going to grad school?"

9. "You feeling okay?"

10. Getting ready for my interview

11. Talking with my mom after having a meltdown

12. College

13. Also college

14. "How are you so active in class?"

15. "Yeah, I totally approve of that choice you made..."

16. At the final required Freshman CEP

17. Bra Sizes

18. Watching High School Musical 3 with my friends

19. Advising friends like

20. "Why do you want to be a teacher?"

The best part of being like Rory is that my mom is my best friend; Mama, you are the Loralei to my Rory.
