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.

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.
