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

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.

Wednesday October 5, 2016

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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
