7 Important Lessons Gilmore Girls Taught Me About Friendship

Finally, the way Lorelai and Rory push each other into going after their dreams is one of my favorite parts of the entire series. Lorelai supports Rory's dream of going to a private school to get into Harvard, then keeps supporting her when she changes her mind and goes to Yale instead. She never gives up on her in college, or when she gets her first job, or when she turns down a proposal from Logan. Also, Rory encourages Lorelai in going back to school, starting her own inn, and finally getting together with Luke. Women supporting each other is my favorite thing to see — on TV and in real life — which is why I try to model their example by encouraging my friends to go after their dreams as well. It's what a Gilmore Girl would do.
