7 Signs That You're Actually Lorelai Gilmore
Vulture

Let's be honest: the prospect of a "Gilmore Girls" revival has got a lot of people excited -- including me. The more I got to thinking about it, the more I realized how much I had in common with the show's beloved "matriarch," Lorelai Gilmore. So now, for all the other Gilmore fans of the world, here are 7 signs that Miss Lorelai Gilmore just might be your spirit animal.


1. You have an unhealthy obsession with coffee.

Coffee is your lifeblood. You love it, you can't live without it, and if you do have to live without it, you think you're dying. Plus, going to your favorite coffee shop lets you taunt that guy friend of yours and snoop on the kooky locals.


2. Your sarcasm game is strong.

You use it when you're feeling snarky, as a form of affection, when you haven't had enough coffee (see above), or with pretty much any other emotion under the sun. Fear not, we love you for it. It adds to your charming charisma and witticism.


3. You know all the latest gossip on your wacky neighbors.

Living in a small town means everybody is bound to know everybody -- and everybody's business. However, you know things about your neighbors that even they may not know. It's a talent; it's a gift.


4. You're extremely loyal to your friends and family.

Your friends are like your family and your family is, well, like your family. Maybe your closest relative is even your BFF. Though you won't get along with EVERYONE, you do your best by those closest to you.


5. You're considered the cool one or the rebel in your family.

Maybe you didn't go as drastic as, say, getting pregnant at 16 and cutting all ties with your parents for a while, but if you're a bit of a wild card in your family deck or your maybe just cooler than your future child, you have found a kindred spirit in Lorelai Gilmore.


6. You have an interesting on-again, off-again thing with that longtime friend of yours.

You've been friends forever, maybe because that certain someone has served you coffee and fed your addiction every day for years, but maybe you find yourself questioning if there's something more between you. As always, life gets in the way, but you know you always have someone you can depend on.


7. You know how to take care of yourself, and you know what matters most at the end of the day.

When life throws you a punch, do you lie down and take it? No! You step up to the plate, do what needs to be done, and take care of business. Added bonus: you put your family first, you know where your priorities lie, and nothing gets in the way of that. You go, Gilmore, er, Gilmore-esque person.


And, now that you know who your spirit animal, or in this case person, is, go forth, grab some coffee, and wait for that "Gilmore Girls" revival.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
