Lorelai Gilmore Is One Of Us

She's actually my spirit animal.

In preparation for "Gilmore Girls" to come back on Netflix, I've been re-watching the show. My studies have shown that my mom and I are actually Lorelai and Rory. Then again, Mom and I are the same person anyways, just like them. They are two of the most relatable characters ever. Here are a few of the times that Lorelai understood us on a deeper level.

When you're trying to reason yourself out of the bad boy:


Repeat this like a mantra a few hundred times any time you see him ride by on a motorcycle, rock a leather jacket, have the perfect hair, see his jawline from across the room... Where was I going with this? Oh yeah! Don't do it.

When you see your crush with a girl:

Any female seen within a 50-foot radius automatically has at least twenty flaws. Her name is dumb, her hair doesn't match her eyebrows, she has fat fingers, she breathes too loud, she doesn't like tacos, and she corrects people's grammar.

When you HAVE to have that junk food:

The Pop-Tarts and the chips and queso and Lucky Charms and every other bit of junk food that you buy right after you get paid. She understands and she accepts that sometimes you must allow yourself to eat like a teenager whose parents left them $50 for food the weekend they went out of town.

When you binge-watched a whole season in one day:

Yes, I'm still in my pajamas. Yes, it's 4 p.m. Yes, I have Pop-Tart crumbs on my shirt. Yes, the blinds are closed because I haven't seen the light of day. It's a lifestyle, okay? Don't judge, Dean.

When you try to be smooth while flirting:

This is why texting was invented. So I can send the three drafts in my best friend group text to get an affirmative that draft two is the best and so I can use the winky face emoji, therefore avoiding the awkwardness of actually winking at someone and having them wonder if you just have a twitch.

When you're feeling extra sassy:

Have mercy on the people who come in contact with you the day that you have your brand new Sassy Pants on. There are days when you are so on top of it, you don't know which witty insult to hurl at the unexpecting victim first.

When you find someone who hates people as much as you do:

If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit in the corner with me and we'll talk about everyone together and make everyone wonder why we're whispering and trying to contain our peels of laughter at how hilarious we are.

When someone tries to wake you up:

If you must wake me up on a weekend, it must be at least double digits first. Preferably it ends in PM, though.

When there is too much blood in your caffeine system

I like my blood to be about an even mix of blood and caffeine. It keeps the mind sharp. Or if you ask Luke, it just keeps you short. Considering my height, there might be something to this whole thing.

At the end of the day, or maybe the beginning, considering her need for caffeine, Lorelai is just like us.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
