Back To School As Told By 'Gilmore Girls'

Back To School As Told By 'Gilmore Girls'
Hollywood Reporter

Christmas is over, the new year is here, and now it's time to go back to school! Between best friend reunions and stressful preparation, move in weekend alone is full of ups and downs that are best explained by everyone's favorite coffee obsessed mother-daughter duo, the Gilmore Girls.

1. Leaving your family

No matter how excited you are to go back to school, it's sad to leave your family after being with them again for a whole month and spending the holidays together.

2. Seeing your roommates again

Reunited and it feels so good!!! If you're lucky like me and love your roommates, lots of hugging ensues!

3. Having to unpack everything...

"Hey, I'm here come help me bring my stuff up!"

"How far away did you have to park?"

"Okay, how much can we possibly carry and still be able to unlock all the doors and go up 3 floors?"

"Is it bad if I don't put everything away tonight?"

4. And then a late night "we're back!" celebration

Let's just pretend that all the unpacking justifies the unjustifiable amount of food we get to eat tonight. After all, we're celebrating our reunion!

5. Unfortunately, even getting up early is oversleeping on the day before classes start.

I mean, of all of the relatable things Rory Gilmore has said, this one is pretty high up on the list of the most relatable... Sometimes in college, you have so much to do that any sleep at all is just too much sleep.

6. Because, of course, there's an endless list of things that need to be done before then.

I guess a couple of days is supposed to be enough to prepare for an entire semester? Caffeine is such a blessing.

7. Grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, schedule organization...

There's no time for sleep, but you also need sleep so you're ready for classes. Honestly, there's no way to win in this situation...

8. And then you start getting emails from your teachers...

This is when you remember that coming back to college means more than coming back to fun and friends. Hooray for rude awakenings?

9. Everything does finally get settled, but classes are still in the back of your mind the rest of the night...

At least college kids are good at pretending real life isn't real...

10. Oh well, nothing left to do but eat your feelings!

Night two of binge eating whoops... You'll start your diet once classes start, right?

11. And kick butt on your first day of class!

Waking up in the morning is hard, but the first classes are never as bad as you think they will be. Thank goodness for syllabus week!

Have a wonderful semester everybody! May you all have time for a "Gilmore Girls" binge session!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
