15 Times Lorelai Gilmore Explained the College Experience

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

Every day, I wake up and thank the world – and Amy Sherman-Palladino – for giving me the masterpiece that is Gilmore Girls. This month, I’m adding Netflix to that list of thanks for finally approving a GG revival and HOPEFULLY giving me the closure I need on all things Stars Hollow. This month, the cast and crew finally rejoined and began shooting for the 4-episode series. We’re getting the main cast back (RIP Edward Herrmann) and so many more of the best characters like Babette and Paul Anka! I’m even all right with them bringing back April Nardini… okay, maybe I’m a little bitter about that one. I’m celebrating it all by adding more coffee and pizza into my diet and finishing my last semester of college living the Lorelai Gilmore way because, as you can see from this list, she just gets it.  

1. When you go grocery shopping for the first time freshman year

2. When you wake up exhausted literally every morning

3. When your mom asks how that exam you took last week turned out 

4. And then when she asks if you called the landlord yet about your dripping faucet

5. When you finally meet the right group of friends

6. When your friends can’t decide what to order from GrubHub

7. When the Uber arrives but you haven’t finish your drink yet

8. When you go to Sunday Brunch still drunk

9. When you see someone you don’t like at the bar 

10. When it’s been five minutes and that dude you met on Tinder still hasn’t texted you back

11. When someone tries to change your part of the group project 

12. When your BFF from home asks if your weekend was fun

13. When you have to make your own dentist appointment

14. When you don’t like your friend’s new crush  

15. When it’s supposed to be -5 degrees Saturday night
