The First Week Back At College As Told By 'Gilmore Girls'
Entertainment Weekly

We wait all summer to return back to our home away from home, but when the first week of classes start, we suddenly remember that class is the actual reason why we are attending. The first week is full of many emotions; from excitement, laughter, hugs, nervousness, worries, to tears, and attitude, we experience it all. Some may be used to what is coming, but most of the time, we don't know what our professors expect of us that very first class. So, whether it be your very first week of college or you're a returning student, here is the first week of classes as told by Gilmore Girls.

Hearing the alarm for an 8 a.m.

No parking spots, washing machines, or seats in the back of class.


Telling yourself you will healthy this year, but you've already ruined that trend.

Running into your ex on campus.

When your prof keeps you in class for the entire class time.

The high expectations you have for the celebration of being back.

Already looking up that tutor schedule...

You rediscover your reliance on coffee.

When you meet someone in your class who has potential for becoming your best friend…

Waking up late for class.

Spotting a potential boyfriend while walking to class with your friends.

When you spot your friends after being apart all summer long.

Being filled in by your friends about last night since you don't remember a thing...

Trying to actually be a good student and focus during class.

“You have homework.”

When you see how much your books will cost.

It rains on your walk to class.

The first week gets a little stressful, so naturally you resort to retail therapy.

"Any questions?"

Finding out your friend saved all the assignments and tests for the same class you're in.

Seniors year feels...

Discovering the fact that your neighbors or the people above you are similar to living near elephants.

Well, you made it through week one, but there is still a full semester ahead of you...


Keep on dreaming, and being Gilmored, y'all. Hope this added a little bit of shine to your first week back. Loans and degree changes are what we see in the now, but I promise graduation is in your reach. You've got this.

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.
