College Life, As Told By Lorelai Gilmore
Christina Amato

Lorelai Gilmore is one of the funniest moms of all time. Through all 7 seasons of "Gilmore Girls," the fiercely independent mother of Rory has managed to crack us up with her babbling, her encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture, and relatability to college students, even as a 35-year-old.

1. When you feel like there isn't enough coffee to keep you awake for classes

Believe me, we have all had this thought at some point!

2. When you have no idea what to write for your paper, have $67 in your bank account, and are wondering if you should keep your major

Maybe not entirely helpless.

3. When you're confident with your studies

I carry the intelligence.

4. Waking up early, especially on a weekend is not on your calendar

Who needs to get up early on a weekend when we have already dealt with club meetings, memorizations, and 203 pages of reading a week?

5. When your schedule is so stinking full

Is the jungle green?

6. When you feel like dieting doesn't exist

The dining hall should earn an award for the freshman 15 and senior 16.

7. Packing to go home or back to school like . . .

Come on, this is has happened to you every time you pack to go home or go back to campus.

8. Trying to convince your friends that you don't need to date someone from your class like . . .

Same, Lorelai, same.

9. When the weekend has gone too fast

Every . . . single . . . Sunday!

10. When you don't want to deal with your problems

Can I just not let problems bring me down and think about unicorns and rainbows?

11. When you're just out of it

The tickets to Escape-From-Reality Land.

12. Trying to get through a bad date like . . .

Sounds like a plan.

13. When you're sick of hearing the same story over and over

Looks like it's going to be one of my Gilmore Girls catchphrases.

14. When you pass all of your classes

Every single end of the semester.

15. Trying to prove you're capable of staying in college

Not a little kid anymore. I just gotta study, slip my Uggs on, and show everyone what kind of person I am.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
