She's talking as fast as she can.

Lauren Graham Releases Her First Non-Fiction Book
US Magazine

Whether you're an old fan, or new to the "Gilmore Girls" sensation, the name Lauren Graham should bring many things to mind (mainly a quick wit and an unsurpassed coffee addiction). For seven brilliant years, she portrayed the character of Lorelai Gilmore, mother to Rory Gilmore, in the hit television series Gilmore Girls. Devoted fans have followed her through several movies, another hit television show ("Parenthood"), and a fiction novel ("Someday, Someday, Maybe"). Now, almost a decade, later she's back reprising her role as the beloved Lorelai in a four-part Netflix series entitled "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." But that's not all! She has also re-entered the book world with her first non-fiction work "Talking as Fast as I Can" set to release in November just a few days after the premiere of the revival episodes.

*pause for internal screams of joy*

Here's what Lauren has to say about the book:

“This book contains some stories from my life: the awkward growing up years, the confusing dating years, the fulfilling working years, and what it was like to be asked to play one of my favorite characters again. You probably think I’m talking about my incredible achievement as Dolly in Hello, Dolly! as a Langley High School junior, a performance my dad called “you’re so much taller than the other kids.” But no! I’m talking about Lorelai Gilmore, who, back in 2008, I wasn’t sure I’d ever see again. Also included: tales of living on a houseboat, meeting guys at awards shows, and that time I was asked to be a butt model. A hint: all three made me seasick.”

If you haven't read her first book "Someday, Someday, Maybe," you're missing out. It has everything we know and loves about the actress and the roles she has undertaken - snappy dialogue, incredibly relatable characters, humor galore, and a story that keeps you enraptured the whole time, constantly wondering just what is going to happen to Franny next?

While this new book is nonfiction, it promises to hold all of the same elements of Lorelai Gilmore... I mean Lauren Graham... that her first book did, mainly because it's a collection of autobiographical essays about the star herself. It recounts tales of her life from the sets of both Gilmore Girls runs (we've all been dying for those behind-the-scenes secrets, am I right?) not to mention some surely incredible stories from the rest of her life that she has managed to keep untarnished from the harsh glare of the Hollywood spotlight. All of these things make the promise of an A++ book. Why would you not preorder it right now?

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
