Ranking Lorelai's Men On "Gilmore Girls"

Throughout the busy seven seasons of "Gilmore Girls," Lorelai had a few love interests - some better than others. They all had their good points...and their bad. Let's take a moment to discuss those.

1. Max Medina

He was sweet, he was smart, and he proposed with a thousand yellow daisies. Let's also not forget that he was Italian and could cook. Was it awkward that he was Rory's teacher? Yes. Was he wrong when he thought that marriage would solve all of their problems? YES. Was his jealousy of Luke called for? Double YES. Lorelai could have broken up with him in a nicer way, but when it's not the right person...you just know.

2. Alex

Their meet-cute was adorable, and the fact that their first date was a coffee tasting was perfect. However, that seemed to be the only common interest they had, and after just a few episodes his character just kind of disappeared. He was sweet and funny, but there was no magic spark.

3. Paul

Most people probably don't remember Paul. Lorelai met him at her business class in Hartford (they had a "burrito bit" at the vending machine). He was pretty unmemorable until he showed up at the diner one morning looking all of 20 years old. Rory mocked her endlessly, and Luke...well, Luke was less than amused.

4. Jason (aka Digger) Styles

If you liked his character, I'm judging you. Their relationship was based on nothing. She only initially went out with him to piss off her parents, then hid it from them for way too long. He was a manipulative person who eventually tried to screw over her family. She made the right decision when she left him.

5. Christopher Hayden

He may be Rory's father, but he's still my least favorite character on the show. His character is somewhat okay in the beginning, but if you still like him after Sookie's wedding episode, we can't be friends. And Rory yelling at him at the Gilmore mansion was totally justified, as well as her telling him to stay away in the later seasons because all he did was hurt them. He redeemed himself slightly in season six when he came into some money and genuinely tried to help them, but his and Lorelai's whirlwind marriage and inevitable breakup was painful to watch. (Which is one reason we're all so grateful that Amy is back and doing the revival so she can fix all of this mess.)

6. Luke Danes

He is probably the most perfect character in television history. He's gruff, sarcastic, and a completely self-less human being. Not once did he hesitate to help someone in need, whether it be Lorelai, Rory, Jess, and sometimes even Kirk. He may have seemed like he hated the world, but he loved that town and most of all Lorelai. He (and everyone else) waited five season for Lorelai to realize that what she needed most was right in front of her, pouring her coffee day after day, building her a chuppah, and constantly taking care of her and her daughter without questioning it once. The season finale left us all confused and hopeful, and if the revival doesn't have them married or on their way to it, I'm starting a riot.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
