It could have been better.

Netflix is probably 80% of college students best friend. There are just so many great tv shows and movies to choose from. Every so often Netflix will release a set of new shows, movies, or new episodes to shows that they already provide. In this last batch of shows released, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was one of the shows to be added.

I grew up watching Gilmore Girls. It came on every evening on ABC Family at 5 pm. I watched it religiously. Every day I was there to watch the episodes and every fall when it started back up I’d watch the reruns. When I found out that new episodes were being made to show “where they are now”, I was so excited.

Season one of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life has four episodes; one for every season. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the new season and seeing where they all ended up. I just have some beef with some of the things that happened. Here is a list of things that I (as a avid Gilmore Girls fan) think could have been done better:

1. Rory is all kinds of messed up.

She was always so focused and put together and now she doesn’t have a job, or a home, or even a steady plan for what she’s going to do from now on. When Taylor talks about closing the Gazette, Rory doesn't even offer to do it. She just sits there while they talk about it. Excuse me?! Rory Gilmore was a go getter, she would have spoken up... she would have been dying to run her own newspaper.

2. Sookie and Lorelai

They could have made it seem like they saw each other every once in awhile. Instead, they made it out to be like she up and left and was a horrible person. Yet then she shows up for the wedding? What?

3. Luke and Lorelai

Do they really need a baby? They both have kids and Luke practically raised Rory. Why add this whole thing in?

4. Logan...

What?! Logan is getting married yet he's having an affair with Rory. I know that there was always a thing between Rory and Logan but this seems like they took it too far.

5. The Musical Committee

Why is Mrs. Patty not on this? She was always the one in control of all the plays and anything musical. If there was a committee she would be the first person to volunteer.


Here are a few things that I actually liked:

1. Richard's death

With actor Edward Herrmann passing away on 2014, they tastefully had Richard "die" instead of finding a new actor because I just would not have been the same.

2. Emily Gilmore

I loved the way they made her grieving realistic. She kind of went off the deep end but that was okay because she was upset that she lost her husband.

3. Chilton

The return to Chilton was great. The way Paris was so intense and scared the students was so her. But why did Rory talk about composition class? Why not the paper?

4. I liked that each of the four episodes were based on a season. It really added to the "year in the life" concept.

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.
