7 Lessons Gilmore Girls Taught Me
The Hollywood Reporter

This family favorite, heart warming show, is chocked full of life lessons. Here are 7 things that really hit home with me when I rewatched Gilmore Girls!

1. Your worst enemies can be your best friend


Like Rory and Paris, sometimes your worst enemy can end up being your best friend. Just because you don't get along at first, doesn't mean you won't grow to love each other. Rory and Paris were constantly at each others throats, but they also always there for each other when they needed it most.


2. It's okay to not have a plan

Rory didn't have every second of her life planned out, and even the things she did have planned out didn't stick. It's okay to not have a your every moment planned, things work out the way they're suppose to. Even the things you do have planned, might change. If that happens, just go with the flow. Everything works out the way it's suppose to in the end.


3. Don't be afraid to say no

Rory didn't say yes when Logan asked her to marry him, despite everyone expecting her to. Rory did what was right for at the time. She loved being with him, but knew she had a lot of life left to live, lessons to learn, and options to explore. Don't say yes to every opportunity that's given to you, take time to think it over, and always remember there are other options out there. Do what's right for you.


4. Everyone has bad days

Even the ever so "perfect" Mrs.Gilmore has bad days. It's okay to go a little insane sometimes, and it's okay to need help on those days, don't be afraid to ask for it! Even if you have to give a little extra push, and threaten them with a passenger side trip to crazy town.

5. It's okay to need your parents

The ever so independent and strong Rory, needed Lorelai after going away to college. There's nothing wrong with needing your parents every once in awhile, as a matter of fact I'm sure they'll appreciate it. It's also okay to be a mama's/dad's girl/boy, even when you're an adult.

6. Don't let others get you down

People aren't always going to approve of your choices, similar to Emily not always approving of Lorelai's choices. Don't let that get you down! Keep going, and follow through with your dreams.

7. Take chances

Don't be afraid of taking risks! Live a little. Rory was afraid of the Life and Death Brigade's adventure and wasn't so sure about participating in jumping off the wall with Logan, but she did. You never know how one little adventure, can change your whole life. Take a chance!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
