If you haven't seen "Gilmore Girls," I recommend logging in to Netflix and start a binge - watching sesh immediately. This show hits home for every kind of person: the mother/daughter duo, the daughter who can't stand her mother, and any girl who has been in any kind of relationship. The perfect boyfriend, the bad boy, the rebel-- whatever it is, "Gilmore Girls" has you covered.

And when it comes down to how to live, few can do it better than the Gilmore Girls. Barney Stinson says he has it down, and even goes so far as to teach his fellow bros Ted and Marshall. But may I go so far as to say that he could use some lessons from the reigning Lorelais?

Now, cue in winter break. A little over a month of time basically designed for television, eating and shopping (three of the Gilmore Girls' best and most mastered traits.) Take some cues from the famous mother daughter duo and do this break right:

1. Take some time to relax.

If you're a perfectionist like Rory, then this is extra important for you. Winter break (emphasis on the break) is a time for all of us to slow down and chill out after a long and exhausting semester. Take at least one day to give your body the proper number of hours of sleep it deserves.

2. Eat as much as you possibly can- you deserve it.

Yeah, ok, not everybody can quite handle the Gilmore diet. But #treatyoself still applies. It's the end of the semester, and you're on a break. Go for that third slice of pizza and order that extra piece of cake!

3. Remember when those final grades do come out, it's not the end of the world.

4. Take some time to do something fun and crazy.

Take a road trip-- go inside the store you've been making mental notes to visit down the street. Be a tourist in your own city.

5. Do not start your day before 11:00

Unless you have a job, there is no reason I can possibly think of that you should start your day before 11:00. Take the time to sleep. Or if you're restless, take the time to know that you don't have to be anywhere. It's a great feeling.

6. When it comes time for the holiday parties where all your family friends do is ask you why you're single, take a hint from Lorelai and find the emergency exits:

7. Have as much holiday spirt as you possibly can.

A Gilmore Girl knows Christmas spirt. Though a holiday cup of peppermint coffee at Westons may not be possible, a holiday drink at Starbucks is. It is difficult to have a bad day with a goofy holiday sweater on and a peppermint hot chocolate in your hand.
