The Road to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

All the details you need to know

The Road to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life
TVLine.com

Way back in 2010, Lauren Graham had an interview with Vanity Fair where she let out that "people with power" just MIGHT make a Gilmore Girls movie, but as of yet, only the fans were talking about this. It wasn't until 2013 that we heard any more talk about the movie, again from Lauren Graham. She explains in Twitter, however, that it's up to Amy Sherman-Palladino to make that happen.

Our next round of information wouldn't come for another two years. In May 2015, E! News reported that Scott Patterson appeared on a Gilmore Guys podcast and explained that "there are talks going on...but [he] can't really go into any detail, but there is some activity. But, come to find out, that was merely false hope because Patterson felt it was long overdue that the fans get SOMETHING. Just a month afterwards, Sherman-Palladino said, however, that there was currently nothing in the making, but that if something were to happen, it would need to be perfect.

Flash-forward four months and it is announced that Netflix has made a contract with Warner Bros. Netflix will make four 90 minute episodes and we may finally learn what those FOUR FINAL WORDS ARE. By this point, many of the original cast was on board. And in January 2016 it was confirmed by Netflix and Warner Bros. and we were given a tentative title: Gilmore Girls: Seasons. Four more months later, we were given it's official title along with a teaser poster.


Overthe course of the past 11 months we have found out just who will be reviving their old roles in the new four episodes/mini-movies. Of course Lorelai, Rory, Emily, and Luke would be returning, but many others, too, like Jess, Logan, and Dean, Babette, Taylor, and Miss Patty, and even Jackson and Sookie. There are so many others who are coming back to their roles one last time.

The original show first aired when I was only five, so my love for Gilmore Girls didn't come until much later. By the time I hit middle school this mother and daughter duo was my favorite way to unwind after school. I watched re-runs all the time. It wasn't until my sophomore year of college (just two years ago) that I finally watched it beginning to end on Netflix. I cried and laughed and got angry with the characters and they became part of the family. When it was officially announced that the revival was truly happening, I was on cloud 9. I'm sure there were others, those who followed the show when it first aired, that were happier than I, but honestly as long as they do this right, we'll all be this happy:

Just under two weeks to go...

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.
