You have all heard of the show "Gilmore Girls." Every Friday night in high school, my mom, my sister and I watched our favorite show over and over. We just loved Lorelei’s sass, Rory’s complicated love life, Lane’s complicated everything from her crazy mom, Mrs. Kim, to her love for rock music. (This article has many, many spoilers relating to the entire series. If you have not seen the entire seven seasons, I suggest you watch them before reading my article.)
1. Coffee is Your Best Friend.
Rory and Lorelei’s obsession with coffee is crazy. However, once I entered my junior year, I understood why they love coffee so much. The taste, the energy and the smell; coffee became part of my daily routine.
2. Some friends will always be there for you when you need them.
Lane is always there for Rory, and the other way around. In addition, Lorelei and Sooki are always there for each other too. They are the dream teams of friendships.
3. It’s ok to make mistakes.
Lorelei choosing Christopher over Luke, Jess leaving Rory, Rory declining Logan’s proposal, Rory going to Philadelphia to cheat with Jess on Logan, and the countless other mistakes. Even thought there were consequences, the happy end results eventually came.
4. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out where you are going in life.
It took Rory a long time to figure out that it was a bad idea to drop out of Yale, begin an estranged relationship with her mother, and live with her grandparents. It took a lot of thought and a lecture from the one and only newly matured Jess to switch her life around.
5. It’s OK to take risks.
Yes, I am taking about Rory and Jess’s relationship. I rooted for him in the start. It was a little disappointing how Rory handled her little love triangle, but Dean got over it and then came crawling back to her. But she risked her reputation, her relationship with Dean’s family, and her trust regarding herself. It was a difficult choice, but I was glad we got to see more of Jess.
As you can tell, there are many lessons from this hit TV show. If you haven’t witnessed this drama-filled, witty and romantic show, watch it now! If you are like me and you can’t wait for the revival at the end of this year, good luck with waiting.
