4 Lessons That "The Gilmore Girls" Taught Me

Gilmore Girls is the show that I think most women in there 20's would say they have seen every episode of and have an argument about weather Rory should of stayed with Dean or moved on to Jess. They love Luke and how much he was always there for Lorlia and how every person was thanking God their grandma was not Emily. It's the reason why they started to quote movies, tv shows and songs in everyday conversation. But what is even better about Gilmore Girls is all of the lessons that they have taught us.

1. A Mother Daughter Relationship


Lorlie and Rory were best friends, they had each other through everything that you could ever imagine. Even when they were angry with each other and were not speaking, they still cared and missed each other. Rory supported her mom just as much as her mom supported her.

2. The Need For A Community


Rory had a whole town who loved and supported her. They watched her grow up from a little girl into the women who was going to travel with the political campaign. For most people, you do not have a whole town but you have your family, teachers, close friends and some people that you meet along the way who just are about seeing you succeed. The people who are there in every storm.

3. You have to live every minute

Logan was always pushing Rory outside her comfort zone. Showing her there is more to life than books, good grades and just getting by with life. He opened her eyes to the idea of accepting things even if they do not go your way and being willing to do new things, to changes to a life with adventures. Not everyone has that person but living a life that makes you feel like living and being ready for anything.

4. Sometimes You Have To Find Yourself

Rory was told she did not have what it took to be a reporter- the dream she had all of her life. When she felt like she had no other choice, like she had all her dreams crushed, she took time off of school. During this time she lived with her grandparents because her mom was furious with her for not going to school and she worked for the Daughters of American Revolution. She had to figure out what she was doing so she kind of had to do a detour with her life. Not knowing what you want in your life at every point of it is okay. When you just can not handle everything going on and just need to take a step back and think is this really for me.

Gilmore Girls is a show that you can watch over and over again and hear lines that you still love, new lines that you love and new reasons to love a character. But Gilmore Girls gave me the idea that life is not perfect and sometimes you need the support system and to fail before you can rise and over come everything.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
