It's been over 15 years since viewers' hearts were first captured by the quirky Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. Last week, nearly nine years after the finale of the series, it was confirmed that a revival season of "Gilmore Girls" is in the works.
Sure, maybe we were only three years old when "Gilmore Girls" first aired. But here are 10 signs that "Gilmore Girls" perfectly captures your current life as a college student.
1. You are not a morning person.
Well, 11 a.m. in college is the equivalent of 7 a.m. in high school.
2. You "wing it" on a regular basis.
Schoolwork, athletics, clubs, social life...does anyone really have time to stay up until 4 a.m. practicing a presentation due by 9:00? You have become a pro at making stuff up and sounding convincing.
3. Puppies and babies have quickly become your new favorite things.
Being surrounded by 18 to 22-year-olds has gotten a bit boring. You have considered creating a rent-a-baby program and each time that you see a dog, your day is made.
4. You know that finals week is not the time to make a fashion statement.
Forget the Bean Boots and Patagonia jackets. During finals week, you ditch your regular style for sweat pants and slippers (or if that's your regular style you just keep doing you).
5. The library has become your second home.
And that drives you absolutely crazy.
6. Late Night is your best friend and worst enemy.
Mozzarella sticks and french fries have become a staple in your (very poor) diet. You love it. And are also quite disgusted.
7. You consistently promise to go to the gym "tomorrow."
Who cares if the Freshmen 15 is real? When the gym is a 10-minute walk from your dorm and down 300 stairs (which you will eventually have to walk back up), motivation can be hard to come by.
8. Friday nights in the dorms are simultaneously the best and worst of times.
Before arriving at college, "FOMO" wasn't even a part of your vocabulary. Now, it is something you know all too well.
FOMO (n.): anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on a social media website.
9. Nothing beats watching Netflix and eating junk food with your friends.
You would do anything to watch a movie and eat Ben & Jerry's. Even if it means tackling the 93 stairs that separate you and the mini-mart in your pajamas.
10. You have a mental breakdown about your future at least once each week.
You don't even know what you are going to do tomorrow. How are you supposed to know what you want to do with your life?
