Adventure begins... in like 8 hours.

    A whimsical mother/daughter journey in search of a real-life equivalent to the small town in Connecticut from the beloved TV show, Gilmore Girls. Though Stars Hollow only exists in the show, we are dedicated to creating our own Gilmore-esque adventure!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  First post, yay!! Welcome to the blog (if anyone's reading)!! It's currently 3:00 in the morning, and I can barely contain my excitement. I'm sure you're thinking, "Ellie, why would you be so excited to drive 3 hours away to some random towns in Connecticut?" I'M GLAD YOU ASKED, IMAGINARY OTHER HALF OF THIS CONVERSATION! Gilmore Girls has helped me get through some stressful things in the past year. Things like becoming a high school senior, mourning my breakup with a guy who I thought was the love of my life, turning 18, and then eventually graduating high school. Thinking about (and possibly rewatching) Rory's journey to Yale can probably really help me when September rolls around and my college classes start. I used to always want to get into journalism, and when that's what Rory chose, I felt so unbelievably connected to her. Though it didn't work out too well for her, I still want to give it a try. I mean, she didn't write her first book until she was 32 (whoops, slight A Year in the Life spoiler). I wrote mine when I was 7. So I got her beat in the book-writing sense. In the college sense? Yeah, she totally has me beat.
     I hope this trip to Connecticut really opens my eyes and gets me thinking more about life and actually existing in the world. I don't like to leave my room too much, and just the thought of going outside gives me severe heebie-jeebies, but I'm really excited to see what new memories I can create on this trip. Of course, in true Rory fashion, I'm going to be writing and documenting the whole trip. My mother, on the other hand, will probably forget to log in to the account and record her side of the trip (in true Lorelai fashion).
     This blog may not interest everyone, but me being the nerd I am, I want to document every second of my Stars Hollow search. I will find a Stars Hollow equivalent, and I will stop for Mystic Pizza on the way. First entry done! Woohoo!! Here's to maybe like four many more!
