The "Future" Rory Gilmore Is Me

It's okay to be in a standstill.

The "Future" Rory Gilmore Is Me
E! News

Four episodes, Four seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall)

And yet people are still not happy.

After so many years without Gilmore Girls,

Gilmore Girls comes back for about 1 1/2 hour episodes for each type of season describing what the Gilmore Girls future are.

Although some have ridiculed howRory’s life plays out in her future because they thought more of her, I actually understood it.

I actually could feel the way Rory felt. I could understand her life and it honestly made me a little happy.

Is that bad that her “homeless” life made me a little happy inside?

Rory was the “All around girl,” however she wasn’t the “All around woman”

Although Rory succeeded in private school and Yale University, after college, at 32 years old, her life was in a standstill and it made me happy.

It made me happy because I could actually have an understanding of how she was feeling.

It felt like she was actually a real-life human, a human facing problems that people go through in the after-life.

Sure, I thought Rory would have this enriching life, but she didn’t.

Rory didn’t know what she wanted to do in her life, she was lost and was trying to figure out what she wanted to do.

I finally feel like I can relate to Rory.

I feel like I am in the same position as Rory and I think some people believe they are too.

What happens after all this?

What happens after school, after college?

For once, I don’t have a plan.

I have no idea where I actually am going after I gradate College.

I am hopeful.

I am in a limbo right now and I still have time to figure it out what I want out of life. I have time to know what I want.

If Rory was 32 in a standstill and I am only 21 feeling the way she is, then I have a lot of time to figure it out.

Rory, a writer, finally found something passionate that she wanted to do and started writing a book about her family.

If Rory found her “niche” then surely I will.

Maybe, like Rory, I will be passionate and ready to do something within the next “four seasons.”

Maybe I will finally find something that I love and will be able to pursue it.

If there isn’t one thing I learned from "future" Rory

It was that it is okay if you don’t know what you’re doing.

It is okay to be in a limbo after college.

It is okay to not be what everyone wanted you to be

You don’t have to already have a career path after college.

The after-life of college is about finding yourself

Find different things you love and pursue them.

Its okay to not be comfortable, that’s what life is all about

And

If "future" Rory is what I become, I'm okay with that.

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.

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.
