be like rory gilmore

I have been remiss in writing entries for this particular goal! The truth is, I went through a non GG phase where I did not care for them so much. But I’m back and still pursuing this goal, only I’m adding a tad bit of Lorelai into the mix; because I realize that I am much closer to being like Lorelai than of Rory. Rory is much more organized and focused on her goals. Lorelai seems much more fun… So I need to find an in between them. Lorelai is also crafty which I like. Rory is quiet which I also like. Must work towards this goal… which in the end is really, finding myself!

I never thought that i would be posting this but someone else mentioned guidelines and since i seem to be the most fanatic about this… why dont i give this a shot!

1. Be self confident
2. Dont care about what others think of you
3. find out who your friends are and stick to them. you dont need a million friends, you just need a few that you are close to
4. love learning- read books and expand your mind.
5. make up daily plans. breakup goals into manageable tasks and stick to the lists.
6. find a role model that embodies all the things that you admire

More to come…

So, I’m thinking that I’m in a similar situation as her when she dropped out of school. I didnt drop out of school but I did something that I’m not super proud of and I have to pick up my boot straps and move on making sure to learn from my mistakes and making up for lost time. When she realized what she had done and how bad it was, she woke up one morning and started to put her life back together and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’m going to take back my life and start being positive!
I have to keep making things happen…

In season 6, she goes through a very tough time where she doesnt know where she is going and she feels that she cannot accomplish anything. And she turns around one day and gets back on the horse.

I admire that and hope that I can do that with my own life. Wake up one day and think, OK, this is it- I’ve wasted enough time and I cannot do it anymore. I want to give things everything i’ve got and see how they turn out. I want to persevere when things get a little tough and I want to jump back on the horse. My law school days have been long and I feel as though I’ve been unhappy- well that ends here because if I dont pull up my socks, I will get to such an unhappy place that I might never be able to get out of.

Have writen up very realistic checklists to be done today and it’s insane how helpful they are. There is such a huge sense of accomplishment with each check. my organizational envy is coming to an end.

When one puts one’s mind to doing something, it’s increadible what one can accomplish. this is probably the best Rory character trait and if i can get to that point, i will be so pleased.
Obviously, will require constant work and effort but there is such an amazing sense of accomplishment at the end of the day that I cant help but look forward to tomorrow and i have not said that in a LONG time.
I LOOK FORWARD TO TOMORROW

New goal-no more dreaming more acting. 90 days of serious change. if nothing happens in 90 days, i can give up but for the next 90 days, will give EVERYTHING my all! 150% to everything…

Live life to the fullest and keep in mind the things that need changing. Concentrate on myself and the things that are important- school, work and my self esteem!

Oh, and DOWN WITH LOVE. i have the man so I have to work on myself.

• organizational skills
• intellect
• sense of style: what I appreciate the most is that she does not look trampy like most women on television. It’s classy!
• the fact that she does not care what other think about her: part of my problem is that I try to be friends with too many people just because I’m afraid people wont like me. I have to find a few people whose friendships I really care about and manage those. And then I just have to be nice to everyone else but without trying to be someone I am not.

It’s true that she isn’t a real person and that she has people around her to make her beautiful and she reads a script. but i dont see anything wrong with self improvement and finding people (whether real or not) who inspire us. If i can change in some way, who cares why i did it.

Where are all the smart girls? I look around and I dont see intelligent, well spoken girls. Instead, I see girls trying to impress their male counterparts by acting “stupid”. I think we have lost our strong female role models, women that we can look up to, to inspire us in our lives.

I just finished watching the newest episode of gilmore girls. why am i so freaking fascinated with her? If i could just follow through with my goals, I think i could be somewhat like Rory Gilmore (the character). Perhaps the biggest difference between her and I is that she DOES follow through with things. how is it that a grown adult such as myself, could identify so much with a television character. I ask this of everyone who might one day read this… AM I CRAZY?
