6 Ways To Prepare For The Gilmore Girls Revival

You don't have to be from Connecticut to pretend you're in Stars Hollow.

If you are anything like the rest of us, November 25 has some sort of flag in your planner; and no, I'm not talking about Black Friday shopping (it can wait!). If you don't live under a rock, then you should know that November 25, 2016, is the premiere of the long-awaited "Gilmore Girls" revival, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life."

I grew up alongside Rory, although I didn't gain my caffeine addiction until college, and wished for a support system like those who lived in Stars Hollow. A Connecticut resident myself, I longed for my own version of Luke's Diner and laughed at all of the Bridgeport and New Haven references.

This revival is one of the only things getting me through these next few months, but that doesn't mean we have to idly wait. Here are some things you can do to get yourself in the Gilmore spirit.

1. Catch up on all seven seasons.

This might sound a little ridiculous, considering we're two weeks out from the release date, but I believe in you! It can be done if you have some faith, trust, and lots of coffee!

2. Up your caffeine intake so you can actually mean it when you say "Lorelei Gilmore is my spirit animal."

Speaking of coffee, this is the time of year when it is acceptable to drink more coffee than you normally would. Because you can't justify calling Lorelei your spirit animal if you don't have coffee practically set up to an IV drip. Do yourself a favor and buy some K-cups, though! Not all coffee shops are as nice or inexpensive as Luke's.

3. Make your house or room smell like Stars Hollow.

Because apparently, Stars Hollow smells like maple leaves. Buy your own, like this from Etsy! If maple leaves aren't your thing, and you really are a Gilmore at heart, a nice coffee-scented candle will do the trick.

4. Buy your own Luke's Diner mugs.

Your kitchen won't be complete this November without a set of mugs. Always on the run? That never stopped Lorelei or Rory! Grab yourself some to-go mugs and pretend your coffee was served by your favorite flannel-wearing cynic.

5. Pick a team.

No, I'm not asking if you are Team Jacob or Team Edward, because those are a thing of the past. But asking if you are Team Jess, Team Dean, or Team Logan is the most important question, because it's highly likely that all of them will be making some sort of guest appearance!

6. Host an "A Year in the Life" Viewing Party.

The last, and possibly most important way to prepare yourself for the greatest day of 2016 is by hosting your very own GG Viewing Party, complete with coffee, pizza, Chinese food, red vines, pop-tarts and lots of flannel. However you do it, make sure to enjoy Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life with all of your favorite people.

Oy, with the poodles already!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
