Gilmore Girls and Life.
Odyssey

The Gilmore Girls, a television show beloved by most of the female population. A show that portrayed the mother-daughter dynamic through two different generations and provided us with pop culture references to our hearts content. With the revival out on Netflix, the ending not only tied up a few lose ends, but left the audience hanging with one question: what is going to happen next?

The ending focused on the relationship between Rory and Lorelai coming full circle, with Rory revealing that she is pregnant and being in almost the same position Lorelai was. Both got pregnant while living at home, both with men who are wealthy and both are unmarried. The biggest difference is obviously the age, with Rory being 32-years-old. Despite this age difference, she is somewhat in the same position Lorelai was when she got pregnant. Most of the series focused on Rory's struggle to find steady work, she is just as lost in the world as her mother was when she found out she was pregnant.

Rory Gilmore, the girl who everyone thought would have it all figured out, got thrown life's biggest curveball. No one plans to get pregnant when they're single and struggling to find steady work, so what does this show us?

Life happens, and it happens to all of us.

Somehow this ending doesn't really get me mad. As a long time fan of the show it was refreshing to know that was how the series was supposed to end. Of course the timeframe is different, Rory is much older than she was intended to be, but this somehow seems fitting. I feel like I got the closure I needed.

This revival had it all, we saw Lorelai finding herself, Rory becoming who she needs to be and Emily going through the stages of grief.

Overall I was happy with his revival, but I hope we get a spin-off with Rory, Lorelai and Emily being around for Rory's child. This show definetly shows what can happen: Life.

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.
