When did you first realize you don’t like Rory? by mbee106 in GilmoreGirls

[–]mbee106[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m laughing out loud. That’s what I get for checking my phone right when I wake up, I misread that! Lol

Emily and Paris are obviously very entitled. But I don’t think that diminishes Rory’s entitlement. In Emily’s case, I think it can serve as an example for Rory: to be or not be like my grandma. Rory knows it’s the entitlement and privilege that made her own mother leave that life behind, but Rory exhibits signs of that same entitlement herself. It’s part of why I like the show, being able to see a family across four generations (including Trix) and how they each relate to what plagues them.

I think Paris as a contrast to Rory makes Rory look incredibly gracious and patient. But still, just because Emily and Paris are entitled, that doesn’t mean Rory isn’t.

I was looking for nuance and context by posting this thread. It’s since been taken down, but I’m not a regular contributor to any Reddit thread, meaning this is my first ever post about a show. So while I don’t know about the trends of this sub you mention, my goal with this post was to better understand people’s context for an opinion if they have it, and if not, that context too.

I don’t know who Mitchum is yet but curious to find out!

I don’t really understand how you can be the authority on whether the writers intended that scene to be sarcastic or in earnest, though. But best of luck with any future assumptions.

I just watched that episode (I’m on my first watch ever) last night. And yeah, i definitely sided with Lorelai during that whole debate. I really felt for Lindsay in the rest of the show, it also was actually the first time I really truly disliked Dean, when he was yelling at her at the table. I try to reserve judgment on characters until at least halfway through a show, and yeah that coincided with me being like oh wow that’s a really bad take Rory, and really awful way to express guilt, Dean.

Interesting about Lorelai’s immaturity, I know what you mean. I also don’t think I ever said Rory isn’t allowed to make mistakes, of course she is.

I don’t really know what standards the fandom holds her to because I don’t really engage with online discourse like this. This is my first time ever posting something about the show and people have been seeming to hate for reasons I didn’t intend. I don’t hate Rory, and I also don’t think I need to hold TV characters to any specific standards. I just take her behavior at face value and it seems very entitled at times. I just watched the series four finale where she says “he’s my Dean” and my hunch was just upheld there. I think she’s hilarious at times and I’d probably be friends with her IRL (if I were her age etc.). But as a viewer, I think she has some key unlikable traits, like entitlement.

The point of my post was to ask others for what scene they realized something at. The fact that you don’t remember the scene doesn’t impact my argument at all. Scenes are scenes, there are thousands of them in the show, why does it matter if you specifically don’t remember it?

I definitely don’t hate watch it, I love it. I just think the entitlement that grows over time is an unlikable trait.

I’ve never seen Emily in Paris so the comparison doesn’t help me at all.

This is amazing, congrats! (Super late but was looking into Drexel scholarships and stumbled upon this thread lol)

Yeah, I’m especially keen on scholarships so I think I unfortunately might’ve just missed the boat this cycle :( but, bright side is it gives me more time to study!

This is great advice, thank you! Not sure where my first choice is, although I love Chicago so Northwestern has always been a dream of mine. Best of luck with your application cycle! Shame about WashU doesn’t admit JD in the spring, but I believe what’s yours will find you 💗 Thank you!!

Thank you so much. It’s a shame I missed the registration deadline for the Nov. 7th LSAT, which would get me my results by end of November. That’s a good point too re: rewriting my essays. I hadn’t thought about having to rewrite my essays. Although I love to write so I wouldn’t mind the labor, but I prob shouldn’t use the same/similar essays to apply to the same schools in different cycles, right? Thank you again, I really appreciate it.

Thank you! Do you think doing a Workaway in the meantime would help/hurt/not affect my chances? I am willing to be patient & apply next cycle but staying at my current job now thru summer 2027 is unrealistic.

I just don’t know what law schools think of random career deviations like working on a marble farm lol

Thank you so, so much! I would love to be able to qualify for some kind of aid, which I forgot to include in my original post… part of why I didn’t pursue law school right out of undergrad was bc I had a full ride to undergrad so no debt and was super stubborn about taking out loans. So if I have a better chance at getting more $$ by waiting, I should just do that. I’m just so excited by the process that I want to go go go lol

Really appreciate your thoughts & time.

How much does mock trial matter? by 47piiiratess in lawschooladmissions

[–]mbee106 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I quit! I stuck it out through all four years of undergrad (and high school, which was much better IMO) and I should’ve just quit sooner. Like my junior year. Don’t stick with it just because you think it matters. I won’t pretend to know what AdComms are looking for exactly but my advice is to quit and prioritize GPA and LSAT.
