October 1st, 2014, was a historic day: it was the day that all seven seasons of ‘Gilmore Girls’ were made available for streaming on Netflix. It was the day I remembered just how much the beloved Rory Gilmore informed my own fast-talking, book-reading, bad-relationship-having adolescence. Here are a few of her most relatable moments, many of which feature cardigans.
