7 Times Lorelai And Rory Reminded Me Of My Mom And I

I binge-watched all six seasons of Gilmore Girls and A Year in the Life in six weeks. It didn't take long for me to realize how blessed I was to have a relationship with my mom, similar to the one that Rory had with Lorelai.

1. Rory's First Day at Chilton.

I laughed at this episode when Lorelai came running down the stairs, late to take Rory to school for her first day at Chilton. My mom is the kind who tries to keep us moving to get ready, but it is always my brothers and I who are all finished and waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs.

2. When Lorelai and Rory Committed to Attending Four Thanksgiving Dinners.

Lorelai is a lot like my mom, never wanting to let anyone down. I cannot count how many times my mom has overbooked her schedule in order to make sure that everyone feels loved and important to her.

3. The Time They Backpacked Through Europe Together.

Just like the Gilmore girls, my mom and I LOVE taking trips together. We haven't made it as far as Europe yet, but there is still time!

4. Having Code Words.

My mom and I don't always talk in code, but we do have our own distinct set of code words... especially when we're talking about boys.

5. Zero Secrets.

Similar to the zero secert policy between this mother-daughter duo, my mom knows everything about my life. There isn't a single thing I have been too ashamed to tell her... even if it took a little bit of time to do so.

6. All The Coffee.

It doesn't matter what language it's in... it's still COFFEE. My mom and I love getting coffee together, no matter what cup of the day we're on. It's when we talk best.

7. Rory's Graduation Speech.

I didn't speak at my graduation, nor was I the valedictorian, but I can easily say that my mom did an incredible job raising me for the last 18+ years and I can agree with Rory when she says that all she ever wanted was to be just like her.

I love you Mom!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
