Everything I need to know, I learned from watching Gilmore Girls

1. The best way to make friends in university is to have a dorm party and order all the food available in a 2-kilometer radius..

Because who doesn’t like to bond over Chinese food and rating the cuteness of the Ben & Jerry’s delivery guy.

2. The best way to make decisions is by writing a pro-con list..

Choosing between Harvard, Yale and Princeton is tough, and there is no better way to make a decision that by using a pro-con list. Do NOT mock the sciencificity of the process.

3. Too much coffee will never kill you..

We get to, you know, do stupid things faster with more energy.

4. Keep a safe distance from your parents..

Lorelai has a theory. It’s the how much time you can spend with your parents before you might kill them theory. Please follow it, for the love of all things good.

5. “I’m currently one of the women sitting at home, thinking ‘if only I could find a man like Aragorn” and it’s OK..

Lorelai showed that women indeed do run the world.

6. Direct democracy is the best form of government..

Town meetings managed to solve issues from “whether Lorelai should be dating Luke” to “whether the street names should be changed”. Take that, Parliament.
