I'm Angry At Amy Sherman-Palladino

A great show does not deserve a terrible ending.

I'm Angry At Amy Sherman-Palladino
ACTU Mag

Over Thanksgiving break, instead of spending time with my family watching football and eating turkey, I cocooned in my bed with multiple blankets and bowls of popcorn, my laptop screen inches from my face, and "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" constantly streaming.

I had been waiting for this since I finished the OG "Gilmore Girls" a few years ago. I binge watched the revival with intense urgency. Not only was I excited about watching it, but I wanted to finish before all the basic witches on Twitter, Facebook, and Odyssey spoiled it for me. Most of the time when I watch a show, I already know a lot about what's going to happen: "Gossip Girl," "Glee," even the OG "Gilmore Girls" were all spoiled for me. But not "A Year in the Life." I refused to let that happen.

So, after closing myself off from the rest of the world and refusing to look at ANYTHING "Gilmore Girls" related on the Internet until I finished it myself, I finally reached the final four words without a single spoiler. And I was so mad.

I don't know how else to explain my emotions after that final moment other than mad. I was mad at Amy Sherman Palladino for throwing this at us with no promise of a follow-up. I was mad at the cast and crew for agreeing to such a cliffhanger. I was even mad at Rory, a fictional character, for Pete's sake!

Now that it's been a few days and my initial rage has cooled slightly, I still feel pretty upset and disappointed. I mean, I waited years for this revival, desperate to know what became of my favorite characters even after a perfectly conclusive and satisfying ending to the original show, and now I probably will never get to know what happens to them after THIS?

Amy Sherman Palladino, if you're out there somewhere, don't waste your time coming up with new shows. Instead, give us an actual ENDING to the masterpiece you already created. Because right now, you've left a lot of fans like me seething. Absolutely seething. A great show does not deserve a terrible ending.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
