Hey, welcome to GilmoreGirls101 with me, Tatum Drake. If you're interested in my opinion on Gilmore Girls characters, you've come to the right place. These blogs will be about ten of the characters in the show and why I like them so much. For my first-ever blog, we are starting off with the best character in the show, the one and only ish, Lorelai Gilmore.

You may disagree with that, but it's very unlikely. Lorelai Gilmore is the best character on the show for many reasons. I believe Lorelai Gilmore is the best character because of her independence. She not only raised Rory at 16 all by herself, but she managed to be a great mom and send her kid to Yale. Lorelai also managed an Inn by herself and did a wonderful job. When she finally wanted to take the next step, she bought her own Inn. She transformed it and built something out of nothing. I find it so inspiring for a single mother in a small town to be brave and go back to school in order to be qualified to run her own Inn. Especially with going against her parents and starting from the bottom. I think, so many people would be overly impressed with her accomplishments, because I surely am. I also find it very inspiring that Lorelai is independent with or without a man. She's had a few different relationships, and the ONLY thing I'd say that isn't perfect about Lorelai, is sometimes the breakups really were her fault, even though they tried to make it seem like it wasn't. But, it doesn't bother me because as long as she stays a good mom and good friend, then I don't care. Lorelai is an amazing woman, and that's why so many guys are in love with her. Team Chris or Team Luke? Personally, I'm team Lorelai. Although I love the little romantic scenes she has, I love her by herself. She doesn't need a man, she doesn't need anyone but her daughter Rory. And I love that about her, because I want to be like her, an independent woman, who doesn't NEED a man. But, every character does have their flaws, and that's what makes them more relatable. Lorelai just may be one of the most relatable characters to exist of all time. She's a caffeine-loving, shopaholic with an addiction to movies, music, and food. Lorelai Gilmore isn't Lorelai Gilmore without 6 cups of coffee, a buffet to feed 8, and a movie she's already seen 10 times before this. She is HER.

Kirk's quote of the day, "Oh, man. I think I've got a cavity, I got to stop partying like this."

Clearly, Kirk can't keep up to the Gilmore's eating habits, and that's okay!
