Gilmore Girls: The Parallels Between The Men And The Boys

Everyone knows that Rory parallels her mother Lorelai. If you didn't know that then maybe you should watch it again. I recently finished watching Gilmore Girls for the umpteenth time and caught many parallels between the boyfriends that each of the women have throughout the series.

The obvious one that I'll start with is Christopher and Logan.

Christopher comes from a wealthy family which he rejects. Logan's family is also wealthy. Logan is more reliable than Christopher and less absent minded but he still has his moments. Both men deeply love their Gilmore Girl, respectively, but neither relationship ever pans out. Christopher cheats on Sherry with Lorelai and Logan cheats on Odette with Rory. They're both reckless, but mature as they age, and are now (presumably) both baby daddies.

Aside from being uncle and nephew, Luke and Jess have a lot in common. When it comes to talking to Lorelai or Rory, respectively, they both tell it like it is. They say what needs to be said, not what the girls want to hear. Luke helps Lorelai keep her life on track whether it be running the kitchen at the inn or fixing her house or just being Luke doing Luke things. Jess keeps Rory's life on track by getting her to go back to Yale and write a book. Their love for their respective Gilmore Girl lasts for years-- even with others getting in the way. They're tolerant of the shenanigans that come with being with a Gilmore and they care deeply about them.


ASP may say that she created Logan to be exactly like Christopher but we cannot deny that he also has some similarities to Luke. No matter what, Luke will drop everything to help Lorelai when she calls. This is very similar to how Logan does the same for Rory. When Lorelai is upset, her first instinct is to call Luke. When Rory is upset, her first instinct is to call Logan. There is a ring but no wedding, well at least not until the reboot. And just to be silly, their names both start with L.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
