Why I Aspire To Be Lorelai Gilmore

She is a phenomenal mother. 

She gave Rory her ability to speak at inhuman speeds and the ability to process obscene amounts of junk food. She's always supportive and there to share her wisdom.

She's the best friend you could ask for. 

Whether you need someone to tell it to you straight, or someone to help you get the kid they were babysitting un-stuck from under the bed, she's got your back.

Her train of thought is fascinating. 

Don't bother trying to connect the dots when she speaks. Just try your best to follow along or you might miss a gem like this.  

She will never cease to make you laugh. 

She has a wide variety of faces to pull, comebacks and jokes to tell, and can hold her own with slapstick physical humor too. 

She really thinks about the important things.

She's always up on all the hot-button topics, and isn't afraid to have a deep, meaningful conversation with you. 

She makes a caffeine addiction look cool. 

Lorelai is accepting of the fact that without her daily vat of coffee she would not be a functioning part of society.

She knows what she wants in life.

And she's not afraid to go after it. 

She's a wonderful listener.

She can usually find something to relate to, and if not, she's good at pretending. 

She's a fabulous entrepreneur/business woman.

After raising Rory, taking business classes, and getting the applicable experience, she and her best friend successfully started their own Inn. 

Her taste in film and television is on point. 

This is a woman with all of Cop Rock on tape, and has seen the Sophia Dying Scene in The Godfather Part 3 more times than any other human being, ever, except maybe Rory. 

Her music tastes are incredible as well. 

She's always ready to drop her favorite lyrics, or pick up and go see The Bangles in New York. 

She always has the best advice.

Be it on matters of the heart or whether or not you should eat Poptarts for dinner, her advice is always solid. 

She knows how to handle anything life throws at her. 

Being a Gilmore has prepared Lorelai for just about any curve ball life could throw her. 

Her pop culture references are always perfect. 

Pop culture references are one of Lorelei's specialties, so don't be embarrassed if you can't catch every single one of them.

She always has the perfect comeback. 

When it comes to comebacks, Lorelai has the timing down perfectly, and always gets the last word. Her ability to spit out comebacks exceeds the hopes of anyone who has ever walked away and then realized the perfect thing to say. 

Her vocabulary is excellent. 

She is able to use her vocabulary to spice up her every day conversations.

She gives the best compliments.

If you're ever having a down day, don't doubt that Lorelai will cheer you up by giving you a well thought out, creative compliment. 

She knows her strengths.

And she is not afraid to use them to her advantage. 

And she knows her faults.

Though it may be difficult for her to admit from time to time, she is aware of her faults and tries her best to overcome them.

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.
