The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge: Episode One

The beginning.

The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge: Episode One
Original Image

I've always been told I read too much. Even when I was younger, nose shoved in a book, boys told me that I was awkward. Finally getting around to "Gilmore Girls" is definitely a feat for me. Not only do Lorelei and Rory have a relationship similar to my mother and I, but Rory's high hopes and love of books is something we also share. So naturally, like any list making overachiever would do, I meticulously searched the Internet for the Rory Gilmore reading challenge.

Over 7 seasons, Rory reads 339 books. And I am prepared to take on the challenge. I found a copy of the list that I found most organized, cut, stapled and mentally prepared myself for this endeavor. I'll be slowly drifting through the list, as I currently have about 100 books stacked in my nightstand, waiting to be read. But as I went through the list, I found that I already own more than a few of the books listed. (Thank god). So once a month, I'll be reviewing the books off the list, along with the difficulties I find while reading them. So stay tuned.

(I also did the math. In order to get through all the books in the same time frame as Rory, I would have to read 48+ books directly from the list a year. So wish me luck.)

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.
