    3. Lorelai and Rory were constantly worried about spending money, yet they ordered takeout and went out to eat all the time.

    4. Also, Rory and Lorelai must've had massive closets because they rarely repeated outfits.

    8. When Rory took an entire year off from Yale but still managed to graduate on time like it was no big deal.

    9. The layout of Lorelai and Rory's house made no sense. Like, why was there only one bedroom on the second floor?

    10. Rory seemingly never learned from her mistakes. Namely, she was constantly cheating with her ex-boyfriends.

    11. You're telling me that Jess was the only bad boy in Stars Hollow? Not once did someone else cause trouble?!

    19. Rory was basically failing out of Chilton when she first started, so how did she end up beating Paris to be valedictorian?!

    20. I'm still confused about how Jess managed to completely demolish Rory's car when he swerved to avoid a small animal.

    21. Even though Stars Hollow was in Connecticut, every time it snowed was a really big deal.

    22. When Rory went to visit Jess in NYC the same day as Lorelai's graduation and didn't realize that she might not make it back in time.

    23. Rory's commute to Chilton was at least an hour, but she still managed to enjoy breakfast at Luke’s Diner almost every morning.
