    1. Speak fast.

    Speaking fast and being witty is priority #1 for being a Gilmore girl. Practice makes perfect! Better get talking.

    2. Find a reliable bestie.

    Every Gilmore girl needs their Lane or Sookie. If you're lucky, you might just get a Paris or Michel, too! Beware: besties may be wilder than expected.

    3. Date the wrong men.

    Choosing the wrong man is a Gilmore girl's right of passage. You have to fall for a couple of frogs before you find your prince charming (maybe avoid the married ex-boyfriend, though, just a thought)!

    4. (THEN) Date the right men.

    Well done! You made it to your prince charming era. Find a man who understands your quirks and loves you more for it!

    5. Drink coffee. Lots of it.

    Coffee = water for Gilmore girls, so make sure to get your coffee fix each and every day. A day without coffee is just a sad, sad day.

    6. Devour food like your life depends on it.

    Don't worry; this one might take some time. Eating your body weight in sweets daily isn't for the faint of heart. You have to build your way there. Try starting with a danish from Luke's Diner or cereal from the Yale dining hall.

    7. Know your pop culture references.

    Time to start studying! If you can't keep up during a conversation with Lane about the who's who of the music industry, are you really even a Gilmore girl? The less people who understand the remark, the better.

    8. Have weekly family dinners.

    Family: you can't live with them, you can't live without them β€” might as well dine with them!

    9. Live in a quirky town full of quirky people.

    Every small town has its fair share of oddball people. Stars Hollow happens to be filled with them. Find yourself in a small town with people as charismatic and quirky as Kirk and Ms. Patty!

    10. And drink MORE coffee!

    Seriously. Drink. More. Coffee.
