Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life transported many viewers back to the small Connecticut town of Stars Hollow with its four 90-minute episodes recently released on Netflix. Although, many of us had been visiting frequently throughout the past few months in preparation, binge watching our favorite episodes from the original series. There was always something unusual about this show. It had a sweetness and pace that seemed unmatched by any other, and while the characters were often lovable and quick-witted, they were also flawed, often caffeinated, and sometimes selfish. As beloved as these characters were, we didn’t always agree with their choices—let’s just pretend that Dean never went to the Gilmore house at the end of season four.
So, while I was a little surprised to see where the characters were in the revival, I was also pleased that they still didn’t have everything together, far from it actually. I grew up watching this show, relating to situations that Rory and Lorelai found themselves in and learning many life lessons through the show’s quick and pop-culture riddled dialogue.
25. Always show appreciation for the people who inspired you and helped you to become the person you are today
24. Have high standards whether you’re shooting for an ivy league school or deciding if a guy is worth a second date. Also, dessert is always a good idea.
23. It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. During airplane safety demonstrations, they always tell you that if the oxygen masks drop you should secure your own mask before helping anyone else with theirs. Sometimes in order to help others, you need to help yourself first.
22. Set goals for the future and live a life you’ll be proud of in the future. There will certainly be bumps along the way but those goals are what will help you to stay focused on what’s ahead.
21. Don’t place your self-worth or happiness on the approval of others. There will always be someone who disapproves of your choices and that’s okay. Their opinions really don’t matter.
20. Find happiness outside of relationships. Miss Patty may have been married multiple times, but we never actually saw her married on the show. We did, however, see her fulfilled with her dance studio and around fresh produce a few times.
19. Finding the right person isn’t easy, and if Lorelai is any indication, sometimes the right person is standing right in front of you and you’re just too distracted to notice.
18. No one emits rays of sunshine all of the time. Sometimes, nothing seems to be going your way and you take your anger out on the people you love. The people who stick around during those times are worth holding onto.
17. We all have bad habits that we need to break. Keep trying!
16. When you’re in university, people always want to know what your plans for the future are. The truth is, you just want someone to hire you after graduation but every entry level job requires two-years experience.
15. It’s perfectly normal to think about your own death.
14. Never skip laundry day. If you skip once, it will take you forever to get back on track.
13. Sometimes are there no words that perfectly articulate how you’re feeling.
12. There are some things in life that are unavoidable like Monday mornings, fights with your mother, and harsh ultimatums.
11. Sometimes it’s best to get straight to the point.
10. Not everyone can be a morning person.
9. Everyone should work in customer service at least once in their lives. The experience will make you a better, more tolerable person
8. Never lower your expectations for standards for anyone. More than likely, the person you’re seeing now won’t be in your life in five years.
7. You don’t choose who you fall in love with. Wouldn’t it be easier if you did?
6. There will be a time in your life when you feel completely alone and unlovable, but if Kirk can find his person, there’s hope for us all.
5. The benefits of working out are undeniable, but if watching Netflix presented the same results, gyms would become obsolete.
4. Breakups are real losses and require their own grieving period. That’s why it’s important to wallow.
3. Life won’t always take the path you expect, and you’ll be forced to put on a brave face.
2. Not everyone will understand your sense of humor.
1. One day, if you’re lucky, you’ll find a show that perfectly represents your life and provides with an abundance of pop-culture knowledge.
Having a BFF can be a rare thing nowadays. People just don’t tend to stick around as much as they used to and relationships fail and begin all too quickly. So when you meet “the one” it’s pretty special.

For example, I am very lucky, I met my BFF back in my teens and we hit it off so well we have managed to stay together all these years. It’s been nearly a decade and we are still going strong.

In the world of all-female music groups, not many are as empowered as Girls’ Generation. Girls’ Generation is a South Korean girl group formed in 2007 by a company called S.M. entertainment. In the years since their formation, GG has gained acclaim in both Asia and around the world for its upbeat sound and playful lyricism.
Soompi
The group is comprised of Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun. While North American readers might not know who any of these people are, each has a solid solo career in her own right. Like any music conglomerate, some members of GG are more popular than others; usually people first recognize Taeyeon when they see pictures of the group.

Kim Tae-Yon has seen success in recording a variety of songs for various television dramas and mmovies. She peaked at number two on the South Korean Gaon Album Chart with her first EP, entitled I. One single from the album- the title track- has sold over a million copies digitally. She then went on to release Why in 2016. She’s also won awards including Best Female Artist at the Mnet Asian Music Awards and was ranked as the most popular idol of 2016 by Gallup Korea.

While K-Pop is a huge genre, Taeyeon has managed to carve out her own success with her immensely powerful voice, earning her the title of best K-pop vocalist by officials in Korea’s music industry back in October of 2015. She released her first studio album My Voice in February of 2017 and hopes to find success as she tours Asia in her tour called “Persona”.

But before all that, back in 2007, GG was tearing up Asia’s popular music charts with their self-titled debut. They really came into their own league of popularity when the single “Gee” was released. This song held the elusive top spot on the Korean Broadcasting System’s Music Bank charts for nine weeks in a row.
