Most people spend at least 4-8 years of their life studying for school in some way, so it's not surprising that we all lose inspiration here and there. If you find yourself loosing the inspiration to study, may I recommend that you find inspiration in these characters. Also, this post contains spoilers, so you have been warned.

1. Rory Gilmore - "Gilmore Girls"

The OG study inspiration is none other than Rory Gilmore. Throughout the show, Rory studies her way through a highly competitive private school, graduating with top grades and going off to an ivy league college. Rory is seen actually studying quite a few times, which is rare for tv shows. And let's be honest here, who doesn't want to be as diligent as Rory Gilmore?

2. Lip Gallagher - "Shameless (U.S.)"

The eldest brother of the Gallagher family shows us what it means to make something out of nothing. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago could hold a lot of people back, but Lip used it as fuel to push himself forward. With almost perfect SAT scores and a fiery attitude, Lip was able to make it out of the slums and into a top college while also helping his sister raise his younger siblings.

3. Hermione Granger - Harry Potter

Another iconic study inspiration, Hermione Granger, has single-handily pushed me to be the best student I can be. Being a muggle-born and having not been exposed to magic as a child made Hermione's thirst for knowledge grow almost as big as Hogwarts itself.

4. Rachel Berry - "Glee"

Rachel Berry is introduced to the audience as a feisty high school freshmen with a full schedule: dance lessons, singing lessons, school and glee club. In college, Rachel pushes herself even further, working full time as a waitress, attending classes at the prestigious NYADA, being the lead in Funny Girl on Broadway, being in a band and still having time to go back to her high school to support the glee club. She fought tooth and nail for everything she does and everything she has and that is what makes someone a study inspiration.

5. Finn Hudson - "Glee"

While we are talking about "Glee," Finn Hudson was another study inspiration spawned by the show. At the beginning of the show he is introduced as a member of a losing football team with sub-pare grades, but as the show progresses and Finn joins the glee club he changes a little.

He helps lead the football game to a win to break their years-long losing streak, helps recruit kids to join the glee club and manages to study his butt off to bring his grades up. After graduation, he goes into the army, quickly realizing that's not for him, and goes home to coach his old glee club and work towards getting his teaching degree to change other kid's lives.

6. Elle Woods - "Legally Blonde"

Who doesn't love a headstrong women? After being told that she doesn't have what it takes to get her law degree from Harvard, Elle takes it upon herself to prove everyone wrong. Getting a 179 (an almost perfect score since the highest possible is 180) Elle proves that it is possible to break stereotypes.
