Surviving The Second-Semester Slumpies, As Told By The Girls Of 'Gilmore Girls'

Surviving The Second-Semester Slumpies, As Told By The Girls Of 'Gilmore Girls'
Warner Bros. Television

I'm currently obsessed with the show "Gilmore Girls," starring Lorelai and Rory Gilmore mother and daughter dynamic duo. Going into the series, I had no idea what I was getting myself into but now I'm so glad I did. Everything about the Gilmore girls is hilarious, witty and heartwarming. They're so easy to relate to and they feel like they could genuinely be your next-door neighbors in Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

I haven't finished the entire series, but currently, I am on season 3 and Rory is choosing which college she will attend in the fall of her freshman year. This big life-changing event for her made me think about how funny these two would be on campus and how well they could actually describe many of the feelings and emotions I have been feeling all throughout my first-year college experience.

Surviving second semester is a task that is a little harder than it seems, surprisingly, but using Lorelei and Rory's wit and humor I felt I could explain some of the things I'm feeling during my first few weeks of second semester.

So, kicking off a brand new semester isn't the easiest thing in the world but I guarantee you'll be able to relate to the Gilmore girls' responses to some of second semester's hiccups.

1. When the first week of classes rolls around

2. When you're walking to your 8 a.m. you're not sure why you thought was a good idea looking like the spitting image of death

3. You finally get to go out with your BFFs after spending a month at home and another week in classes

4. Homework starts piling up, quizzes are coming up in the near future, and you're starting to question if you even have a brain anymore

5. You're still not completely used to dining hall food again after being able to eat whatever you wanted at home all break

6. It's Sunday night and you're trying not to spiral into a deep, dark depression about the upcoming week

7. It's Thursday night and all your friends are getting ready to go out and you have an exam at 8 a.m.

8. When you come back to your dorm after a long day of classes and bond with your friends about your equally sucky days

9. Your friend met the "guy of her dreams" at the frat party last weekend and you're trying to explain how bad he is for her but she won't listen

10. It snowed and you're more excited for your friends from California who have never seen snow than they are to see it

11. On your way to class, you completely eat it on the ice and are mad at the world

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
