Gilmore Girl's Sweet 16: A Tribute to Luke's Diner

October 5, 2016, what a day what a day.

Gilmore Girl's Sweet 16: A Tribute to Luke's Diner

It was a normal day of me laying in my bed when my friend sent me a link with the words "Stars Hollow" in it. Every Gilmore Girl's fan knows these two words well considering we watched Rory grow up in this small town in Connecticut. I clicked the link and it said something along the lines of a Luke's Diner coming to a town near you. In the small town of Geneseo, nothing is ever coming near me. As I searched down the list I saw two locations in Rochester and it was settled. I got my roommate on board and we were going.

6:00am

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, as did a bunch of Gilmore Girls fans knowing that we had to get to our location early before a line formed. Luke's would be serving free coffee for 5 hours starting at 7am and I had to get my cup before the day ended. Granted I had a test at 11:30 but it didn't matter much to me. We hit the road, and were off on our 40 minute drive to a random coffee shop in Rochester that stood as Luke's for the times being. Flannel and backwards hat on fleek.

6:40am

Sunrise.

7:12am

We made our arrival and the line was already out the door and circling around. Great. On the line we realize that we might be here for hours. We don't have hours until our classes but that's okay. This will be worth it.

8:00am

We are still waiting.

8:30am

Still waiting.

8:42am

I can see into the coffee shop. There is a sign on the door saying that if I don't agree to Netflix's terms and conditions do not enter. Obviously life is too short to read the directions and this was a risk I was willing to take. We entered the door and the oh so familiar "No Cell Phones" sign was there to greet us. One by one we got our cup of black coffee covered in a Luke's coffee sleeve. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. The smell of coffee beans was every where and the cups in our hands was enough to warm us back up because the line outside had made us cold. We took our coffees to go and were en route home. But not without taking 13430743 pictures first.

9:15am

Caffeine high kicks in. Mistakes were made. BUT I got a free snapchat filter.

To say the least, this was every Gilmore Girls lover's dream. The revival is a little over a month away, the updates keep coming, and the excitement just keeps growing. Until we meet again Gilmore Girls.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
