Sometimes, you just prefer diving into a book then hanging out with people you don't know.

As much as we all want to be the lively, optimistic and deeply intense Lorelai Gilmore, not all of us can wear those energetic pants. But who said being a Rory is a bad thing?

1. You always have to be right and supported by another source.

Yeah, you're an intellectual. You enjoy being well-rounded and having the ability to jump into a conversation that consists of more than small talk. And so what you might talk too much about a topic no one else might care about? You like knowing things.

2. You have a strong moral compass.

You're the type of person who sticks to the rules instead of pushing the boundaries. If you believe something works, you like to do what you know, even if it can be on the boring side to other people. As the old saying goes, you don't like to fix things that aren't broken.

3. You deeply support the people you love.

Although you might not be the most vocal around people you don't know, there is no shutting you up around your loved ones, and this bleeds into your support of the people you adore most too.

4. You wear your emotions on your sleeve.

Someone can always tell how you're feeling based on what your face says. You might not speak a word, but your eyebrows can explain the whole story.

5. Family is everything to you.

Through the good and the bad, you're always there for the people you love most. Times may get rocky and you might have to break up a fight or two with other family members, but at the end of the day, you are the glue to your family tree.

6. Learning is everything to you.

Boyfriends? You won't look for them but if one comes along you won't say no. Friends? Yeah, they're great but a line has to be drawn. Homework? This comes first and foremost because you're future means everything to you.

7. You're a Type A Perfectionist.

You put your all into everything, and when one thing starts to be less than par for you, you begin to feel like everything's falling apart. But don't worry! It's just you and your perfectionism. Take a step back, take a deep breath and realize that it's not World War III, things just didn't go as planned.

8. You are an introvert.

You're kind of awkward... it's just in your bones. Although can it be challenging to come out of the shadows of the Lorelai in your life, there's no need to feel outshined. You bring your own light to the table.

9. You're more like a mom than your actual mom.

You like things clean, tidy and organized in the way you like it. If someone has a problem, they can deal with it.

10. You're not afraid to say things as they are.

If someone is being annoying, they need to know. If you find someone or something to be overbearing, you take the bull by the horns and own it. It's one of your many talents.

11. You're a bookworm.

You're kind of a bibliophile. From collecting books, knowing all the best authors and having your favorite excerpts from your favorite books, you're known for being the best type of nerd.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
