I am Rory and she is me. (Okay, that's just a joke!)

Unfortunately, I am a Gilmore Girls fan. I have drawn many parallels between myself and Rory. Okay, no, I didn’t attend Yale, major in journalism or was the editor of the student newspaper. But I did start school when she did, and without getting too personal, I am also close to my mom. In Tuesday’s episode, Rory received several rejection letters from various newspapers and a journalism fellowship. During her breakdown she said that she had been trying to be modest, but she knew she had the fellowship. She also questioned what made her different and why she wasn't considered qualified enough for the fellowship or jobs.

Although my hardships are completely real and hers are imaginary, I understand exactly what she meant. For the past four years, I just knew that when I graduated I would have my choice of PR jobs. It never occurred to me that after years of being in one of the best public relations programs in the country I would be jobless.

I'm a Gilmore Girls fan as well. But my comment to you is get a life, let Gilmore Girls go and prepare yourself for the real world. Even if you do get a PR job right away, the job that you get may lead to what you really want in a round-about-way. Best of Luck with the job search.
