An Open Letter To Rory And Her Ex Boyfriends
Netflix

Dear Rory,

I simply do not understand. You have always had so much going for you. You got into Harvard and decided on Yale. Your journalism career was always supposed to be a hit. I guess when I was 10, first finishing this series, I felt like you were the perfect example. We all thought, well hey, even though majoring in journalism doesn't always have the most impressive return on investment, Rory Gilmore proves that there can be success. I guess now you also prove that there is room for failure and room for lapses... as long as there are people around you to help pick you up. The thirty something club is a very real reality for some and I appreciate the lack of sugar coated bull sh*t in this Netflix series that ABC Family (yes, ABC Family not that FreeForm crap) has been feeding to us from a very young age. Oh, and about Logan... while again, very real reality for some... remember you deserve better.. better than Logan and better than the Wooky. Since I so truly think you deserve better.. the following is what I would say if I had the chance to speak to your ex-boyfriends from the past.

Dear Logan,

Damn you, Logan Huntzberger. I wish that could sum it all up but I guess it hasn't. I have spent the past few months fighting with my sister about how you and Rory would find a way to work it out in these four episodes. She was team Jess and she was so certain they would find their way. On the other hand, I was absolutely positively certain that you were going to do all your Prince Charming swooning and find your way back into her life. Unfortunately, I am a little upset you only found your way back into her pants. Rory is a catch and it is so terrifying to see that even when you are as perfect as she is, sometimes you don't get the guy and Prince Charming isn't yours anymore. Even if you are the father of her child, you're out. I no longer am team Logan. Get back to your fiancé even though I am sure she deserves better too. #PISSED

Dear Paul,

Recently I just finished Gilmore Girls, A Year in The Life. I have to say, it was a long time coming... I have waited exactly nine years for this and I have to say that for me, it fell a little short. Part of the reason it fell short is because of you, Paul. You remembered the wrench that you and Luke had talked about when you first met, and all the details of your girlfriend's mother's laptop. You are the definition of the nice guy, the safe guy, the good guy. While I guess the fact that you weren't a very memorable character was entirely for comic relief, it made me feel bad for you. When your girlfriends mom says: “He’s like a superhero, but his power is that you can’t remember him no matter how much time you spend with him. " get out. Get out right then. For some reason this short four episode series decided to show the audience that the nice guy indeed does finish last. Logan, while wonderful the first 4 times I watched the regular series, was charming per usual... he was engaged and cheating on his wife to be. Are we still supposed to be swooned by his charming endeavors for Rory even though she can't even stay at his house? He has to rent a room to sneak away to her. All you ever wanted, Paul, was to do everything you could for her.

Dear Jess,

You're still attractive. You have those bad boy qualities and damn you won me over by giving her the idea about the book. You have always been a good friend and frankly I don't think you should be much more than that. While yes you are awesome and great you guys fell apart... and that's okay. Thanks for the idea for the book... and stop staring through windows thinking about what could have been.. it's creepy.

Dear Dean,

When you asked Rory what she would say about you in her book she said this: "That you were the greatest boyfriend alive.. that you were, um, generous and protective and kind and strong. That as much as I wish we'd met when I was older and more mature I know that if I hadn't had you with me when I did that I wouldn't be the person I was today. That you taught me what safe feels like." if that isn't the biggest complement you have ever recieved then I don't know what is. Honestly, your role in developing Rory's character early on truly allowed the show to blossom. This show is not only a show but a child hood memory for me and you played a massive role in both that and teaching me what a first love can look lie. So thank you, Dean, for not totally sucking like some of the others.

Rory,

I know I didn't cover all of the bases and as ridiculous as it is writing letters to characters from a TV series it's been nine years in the making. There's my take on things and remember both your worth and your baby's worth.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
