5 Life Lessons We Can Learn From Gilmore Girls
E! Online

Gilmore Girls has become a Netflix sensation, especially after the newest four releases of 'A Year in the Life'. Our generation has surely fallen in love with the town of Stars Hollow and enjoyed watching the characters grow over all of the past seasons and the newest revival releases. But after having religiously watched the series and being personally invested in each of the characters there's a few life lessons we can take away...

1. Family is Family.

The series began with Lorelai and Rory not having the greatest of relationships with Richard and Emily Gilmore, the bond of family was unquestionable by the end. I think over the seasons it became pretty clear that no matter what happens in life family can and will always be that constant factor, there when you need it.

2. Chase Your Dreams.

From the very beginning of the series it was clear what path Rory wanted to be in life, a successful journalist and she pursued that ambition at Yale. Rory from day one had always been serious about her education and grades and pushed herself to be the best of the best. If there's one thing we should take from Rory it's that we should never stop working for what we want until we reach our goals.

3. Home is Always Home.

The main characters live in the little Connecticut town of Stars Hollow. Rory goes off to college at Yale but always returns home to see her mom. After she graduates, the series ends with her leaving to join Obama's campaign. We the viewers assume that she took that time to travel all around the country and possibly the world too because that was always one of her dreams. But when the Gilmore Girls revival came out a few months ago, Rory was right back home in the little town that built her. So from Rory's experiences we can learn that no matter where life takes us, there's really no place like home.

4. Things Won't Always Work Out.

Whether it's careers or boys, Rory also shows us that things won't always work out. We find out in the revival episodes that not all of Rory's plans had worked out; she's single and back working for the Stars Hollow Gazette. But even though even the revival doesn't have such a happy ending for our beloved Rory, she does teach us that when things don't go our way, we should make the best out of every situation.

5. Coffee is Everything.

I think everyone can agree that maybe the biggest lesson we learn from Lorelai and Rory is how vital coffee is to our daily lives. You'll never see an episode where they are't fueling their coffee addiction.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
