｡･ﾟﾟ･ Socstudies: Sociology 102 ･ﾟﾟ･｡

102: How did sociology originate?

.⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆..⋆｡⋆☂˚｡

Welcome back to the second lesson! Now what we have established what sociology is, it's important to have an understanding of where it came from. The founding of sociology has important context that we need to think critically about!

｡･ﾟﾟ･Who was the first sociologist?･ﾟﾟ･｡

This is difficult to say for sure, since there are many people across history who can be ascribed to have been doing sociology since before it had been clearly defined as a discipline.

The first person to use the term 'sociology' was Auguste Comte in 1838, however before him there have been activities similar to what we now define as sociology in societies such as Ancient Greece, Medieaval England, and China.

｡･ﾟﾟ･Why are the origins of sociology problematic?･ﾟﾟ･｡

Like almost everything, the origins of sociology are rooted in racism. One of the most popular early theories was Social Darwinism which compared societies to Darwin's theory of evolution. In this, they would rank societies from 'primitive' to 'civilised' ... unsurprisingly ranking their own white Euro-American societies as the most civilised... What a coincidence.... In contrast to this, today many sociologists study structural racism and work towards reversing the effects of it. Still, it is important to recognise this, and to think critically when exploring many of the early 'classic' sociological texts.

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

｡･ﾟﾟ･How has sociology changed since its conception?･ﾟﾟ･｡

When it first originated, early sociologists were preoccupied with it becoming a recognised and respected science. Because of this, they wanted to study society in a way that as comparable to maths or physics - as in a study that would result in data that could be tested and as repeatable by other researchers. Now, there is more of a focus on the qualitative, on the things that aren't as easily turned into statistics, such as interviews, participant observation, and ultimately ethnography. Early sociology was positivist, whereas now it is more antinaturalist.

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for making it this far!

｡･ﾟﾟ･What will the sociology of the future look like?･ﾟﾟ･｡

Like many other fields, the future of sociology looks very exciting! New technology has created both new things to study, and new ways to study them. My area of interest - the internet and social media - didn't even exist until relatively recently, and there are many other things that we will study in the future that don't exist yet. As long as there are people, there will always be things for sociologists to study. :)

｡･ﾟﾟ･Review Questions!･ﾟﾟ･｡

1x Luke's coffee cup earnt for each correct answer! (and half a cup for attempting!)

Who is the first named sociologist? (Bonus: what year did he first use the term sociology?

Why are sociology's origins considered problematic?

Early sociology took a positivist approach, what approach is generally taken now?

ways to romanticize school

🎀 listen to non-lyrical music (jazz, lofi, classical, etc.)

🧁 drink something you like out of your favorite mug - tea, coffee, chai, matcha, etc.

🎀 set your preferred ambiance. light a candle, turn off overhead lights, spray some of your favorite body mist, etc.

🧁 if you’re having trouble pushing through, watch “study with me” videos on youtube

🎀 cute stationary

🧁 use your breaks to do something you really enjoy. workout or stretch, take a bubble bath, bake or cook, go for a walk, etc.

🎀 have study icons to look up to and watch them when you feel discouraged - elle woods (legally blonde), rory gilmore or paris geller (gilmore girls), spencer hastings (pretty little liars), etc.

🧁 do your makeup, outfit, and hair with what makes you feel happy and productive. wear comfy, but cute clothes, maybe tie up your hair in a different way, and do makeup that makes you feel confident.

🎀 keep your work area clean and organized

🧁 create a vision board and look at it frequently

Rafe x bimbo!reader yes but what about Rafe x scholar!reader who’s literally an academic weapon. And not Rory Gilmore type of academic weapon; Paris Geller type of academic weapon. She has it all decided. She knows where she wants to go. She knows how she’s going to do it. And she is already two steps ahead of her plans. And not only is she book smart, she’s street smart. Rafe doesn't know how he bagged her, but he did and he’s damn proud of that. He’s her biggest supporter, always being so proud of her when she tells him her insane test results. He drops and picks her up from the library, and always awaits her with her favorite pastries. And you best know he is cheering for her the loudest when she gets the title of ‘valedictorian’. It isn’t “oh my god babe you did it!”, but it’s “of course you did it, if not you, then who? I always knew you could do it.” He’s always showing her off to his friends. “Oh my girlfriend? Yeah she’s in town on semester break. Which college you ask? Harvard, where else?” If she’s staying up late at night to study, he’s staying up with her too. “Babe, you need a break?” “Just ten more minutes…” “Alright bub I’m waiting for you yeah? Don’t overwork yourself please.” He always helps her test herself, hiding his face behind her flashcard as she tells him her answer confidently, and then peering at her with the biggest grin as he kisses her cheek. “Yes, that's absolutely correct babe!” And you best know he’s holding her tight when she feels like she can’t do it anymore, and it’s all too tough. “Oh baby don’t cry yeah? You are so strong and so intelligent, you just need a break. And when you’ll get back, you’ll get back stronger. And you’ll do it. There’s no one I have more faith in than you.”

Bonus: if she’s doing a course which has more male students than female, she’ll come back home grinning telling him she scored better than all the guys in her class. “Of course you did! They’re all little dumb boys, but you, you’re my smart, intelligent girl.”

(wrote this mostly to motivate me 🥲 I am not an academic weapon but unfortunately an academic victim) moodboard inspired by this post!

send me any of your drew/rafe/zach thoughts! (sfw only!)

girl's guide to academic success: part 2 ⊹˚. ♡

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ using media to ur advantage

i think i mentioned this in my romanticism post but pinterest is ur best friend. if i know anything about it u can trust i have a pinterest board for it; thats the same for school. gather motivating pictures & and pretty images that align with ur personal goals and style and make u wanna get up and work! i also use tumblr for this too. i'll link a couple blogs i love for this later on <3

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ surroundings

if ur studying, make sure u actually enjoy the place you're studying in, or try to to the best of your extent. whenever i study im 9 times out of 10 always at my desk and ive decorated my desk specifically so that it motivates me to get up and do whatever i need to do + its super pretty and makes me smile every time i see it <3 decorate ur area with little trinkets and both things u love and things that motivate you, and switch it up when you can! don't stay in the same place all the time. spontaneity is fun!!!

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ personalisation

make it pleasing to look at so ur more motivated to go back and revise over them if needed, and so you have something to do as well that is still related to your work if ur someone who gets distracted easily like myself. some inspo i use for my work:

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ hydration!

make sure ur drinking lots of water !! i drink lots of water and lots of tea whenever im studying or doing any kind of schoolwork and it helps me a lot, + its just those little bits of comfort yk

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ music and concentration

i work way better with any music in the background but if you're someone who gets distracted easily i'd recommend making a specific playlist for studying and listening to non-lyrical music like lofi, video game soundtracks, classical music, instrumentals of songs u like, etc. (i'm not telling you to go against the rules of ur school but i put a headphone in in class sometimes and cover it with my hair just because i know i work way better with it and it helps me a lot bc most of the people in my classes are so freaking loud. so if ur allowed 100% go for it but i don't recommend what i do if you have a strict school)

🧸𓂃 ࣪˖ prioritising ur health & compromising

like i said in my other post, prioritise your health over anything else. if you didn't get a good nights sleep last night and you have a test tomorrow and need to study, then compromise; if you already know a lot about it or its not fate changing or life altering in some way or you can go over it quickly in the morning or something, go to sleep. your health is always more important in the long run and will help you to do even better in the future in every area of ur life

Hi!! I hope I'm not disturbing you but I wanted to ask how do I work hard. Because when I was younger I got really good marks without trying and now the subjects are hard and social media is distracting but I can't seem to delete it. This is also why my grades are even low then before and I'm really afraid to disappoint my parents (being the eldest daughter doesn't help). So can you please just give me some pointers on how can I actually study and not just cry because I don't know how to. Have a great day!! <3

literally omg. is this past me asking me a question?? like actually u have no idea how much i relate and understand this. the "gifted child" who always got good grades without needing to study now finds things more difficult. i know many people have said this, but i actually have been through this not too long ago. i hope these tips help <3

how to work hard + actually study (realistic)

forget hard work. at least do the work! (its so funny because i literally had a post about this all ready in my drafts about to get posted, so i'll keep this short and link the post.) stop focussing on doing hard work like studying 24/7. just put in the basic necessities you need to get a better grade. hard work post link

use the disappointment and embarrassment as fuel. (basically find a very strong why) (mini story-ish thing coming up, skip to the blue text for the actual advice) i still remember the day i got such a bad score on my math and science test, i was FURIOUS at myself and i cried about it! telling it to my parents was one of the hardest things i had to do and feeling their disappointment was even worse. but that became my turning point. i was so ashamed of myself and i resented me so much that i basically just told myself "i dont freaking care what you feel *with distaste*. you brought this on yourself you failure" (a bit very harsh, yes i know) but the way i studied that week- i studied more than i every had before! also doing this doesnt really lower my self esteem a whole lot, but if it does with you, please be gentle with yourself. : so what i'm trying to say it; use that feeling of shame and disapointment as a fuel, a motivation. The big “why”.

ALTER EGOOOSSSS. this helps SOOOO MUCH its so underrated. embody the energy of your fav people who are the academic inspiration you wanna be! example: rory gilmore, paris geller, elle woods, blair waldorf, etc etc! not only is this so helpful but it also makes it so much more fun and easier!!

parent yourself. i used to tell myself to do stuff like "go study now!" or "get up lazy-butt" but in my mind. but what if you tried to say those stuff out loud to yourself? it just creates a whole new level of real. So start telling yourself to do stuff out loud.

honestly just start. stop letting yourself think about how "uncomfortable" and how "annoying" it will be. All you need to know is that you need to get it done. Right? Ok. So now what’s the next smallest step you can take to getting to do the unwanted task? It may be taking out your material, opening your book, etc.

( !! tough love, but very important rant coming up)

You privileged brat. Your parents gave up EVERYTHING so you could have the education that you are having. They worked so so hard for YOU. So YOU can have the life you want. And all for what? Just for you to throw it all away and say “oh im lazy”. HELL NAH.

And also, do you realise how fortunate you are to be even living in such a time/ era where you have access to basically EVERYTHING? You’re stuck on something? You could easily search it up!! And whats more is that you can further learn. You can search up and find out more about the thing that you’re studying, become the smartest person in your class, get so ahead in life. I hope you realise that if you do use all the resources and materials and help that’s been given to you, just imagine how far you could go! Further than Albert Einstine, Elon Musk, etc. you may be like “what! No that’s gonna be too hard!” But did they have the tools that you have right at your hand? No! They made it all the way with just simple stuff and having to work super hard. But you live in a time where you can do TWICE as much without working as hard!!

And one more thing, QUIT WHINING. “Oh school is so hard!” “Oh school is so boring!” Like whattt???? You are so FORTUNATE and LUCKY to be even getting access to such education! MILLIONS of kids out there would kill to be able to learn what you are so easily dismissing right now. So TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT YOU HAVE. Put your ALL, your very BEST into studying and getting good grades because THAT is whats gonna take you so SO far in life.

Thank you very much, *mic drop*. (i still ly pookie)

dealing with social media:

put the screen time widget on your phone home screen. i did this, and i became so embarrassed by the amount of screen time i had in one day (*cough* 12 hours *cough*) that i made certain to stop using it as much.

screen time limits. this may or may not help you, bc i know that when i knew the screen time password, it didn't do a lot of help but when someone else did (like parents or someone you trust), then it definitely worked. this is probably only best if you're a child around under 14 ish bc thats around the age when most parents put screen time limits + after that age you're gonna be a lot more independent.

How to study like Paris Geller

Paris is motivated and disciplined. She knows what she wants and she knows how to get it. She's not afraid of hard work and trusts that through ambition and effort she will achieve her goals.

Define your academic ambitions and work out what you need to do to achieve them. Paris knew exactly how to get into an Ivy league school and followed through her plans exactly. Whether your goal is big or small, breaking it down into steps will help you visualise and get even closer to your goal.

Create a study schedule. Paris was always organised and prepared. Having a study schedule will help you be the same! By working out how best to utilise your time and what areas need improvement you can ensure that you are using your time in a effective way.

Be organised. Paris colour codes her notes and keeps her space tidy. Invest in different notebooks, coloured gel pens and pencils and any other 'extra' study material/equipment which will help you stay on top of your work.

Take good notes! Try out new note-taking styles and ways of note-taking (digital, physical etc). Taking notes will help you be more aware of the subjects and material, as well as giving you a great revision resource.

Use healthy competition to better yourself. While Paris and Rory's competition was definitely unhealthy at points, a little competition can definitely help you. Whether you're competing with yourself or a classmate, it can help you push yourself to be better and try harder. Consider joining an academic group or study group if you struggle to find some form of competition within class.

Be collaborative. Paris isn't afraid to work in a group or with others (despite often getting frustrated when others put less effort in) and always tries her best. Learning with others can help you find new ideas or interpretations, new study methods and even make friends!

Practice self discipline and minimise distractions. Paris was always single-minded in her focus when it came to studying. While it can be difficult to be as disciplined as her, you can still practice discipline (it's definitely something that you can improve at) by getting rid of distractions, setting small achievable goals and building your way up, turning your phone off and dedicating time to study.

Try doing practice tests. Paris frequently tested herself, whether it be through past papers, mini quizzes or practice essays. Testing yourself will help to highlight the areas you need to work on and get you ready and prepared for the actual exam. Familiarising yourself with the nature of the actual exam as opposed to just the exam content will help you feel more confident and prepared for the actual exam.

Believe in yourself. Paris always had confidence in herself. Even if she didn't know something or couldn't do it quite yet she knew that she'd get there because she believed in her own intelligence and knew that through belief and hard work she would achieve everything she wanted. Replicating this attitude will help you to feel more confident in your studies and motivate you to work harder.

Learn from your mistakes! Paris wasn't perfect and sometimes she (like everyone else) got things wrong. Look at your work feedback, look for areas in which you can do better and start thinking about how you can improve. Talk to your teachers and look at exemplar essays. The important thing is that you can learn from the things you do wrong and improve.

All my love, mj.

thinking how absolutely ridiculous is that harvard rejected paris geller and alex dunphy….. and like i know that eventually they got into school that fits them better but i’m also thinking of how much time they spent on studying without dating, without going out or having a lot of friends, missing out of a lot of normal teenagers things just to get up a rejection letter saying you’re not good enough for us and i am mad :/

#am i just binged modern family and finished s6? yes #am i see parallels of gilmore girls EVERYWHERE? hell yeah #just thinking of how much effort and time paris and alex had put into get into harvard and yet they ended up not being good enough #and how both of them had a kind of a mental breakdown over it #thinking about my girls who everything that defines them is getting into a good school to get rejected……..#alex dunphy #paris geller #gilmore girls #modern family #or speaks now

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls- Season 2, Episode 16, "There's The Rub", aka a Masterpiece of Gilmore-dom, AKA Lorelai Gilmore Is Safely Contained In Another Location, AKA Jess Rory And Paris Eat Together And All Is Right With The World-Part 1

Let's just jump right into this absolute masterpiece. This 45 minutes of bliss. This triumph of GilmoreDom that even Dean Forrester can't ruin. (PS-Don't forget to check all of the previous episodes I've recapped! You can find them in my pinned post).

Yeah okay. The point of this construction was supposed to be for Jess to have a seperate space for himself, right? But this never happens. So why are we doing this again? This poor kid had to sleep on the floor next to Luke and Lorelai when she stayed over. Lorelai told Rory "your boyfriend snores." Tragically Lorelai was closer to sleeping with Jess than Rory ever was.

I hope one of them was Forrester. Perhaps God was trying to smite him and he failed, but hey, try try again right?

1:11 into the episode and I'm already grinning like an idiot. Emily calls Lorelai. "Would you like a gift certificate for a weekend at the spa?" TAKE IT TAKE IT TAKE IT TAKE IT TAKE IT Emily uses advanced manipulation techniques on Lorelai to trick her into accepting a mother daughter weekend at the spa and I couldn't be more proud of Emily.

Me too, Emily. Me too.

I'm not saying Lorelai deserves an injurous chunk of concrete falling on her head (I reserve most of my grave injury/ death wishes for Dean), but a small DOINK or KABONK would have been satisfying to watch.

A shirt that just repeats "yoga kills" over and over is one of Lorelai's more interesting fashion choices. Per the post-opening credits, this s also a Madelyn & Louise episode? How can it get any better? Lorelai is carefully organizing her spa itninerary while Rory declares her plans to stay in for the night, order take out, watch movies and go to bed early. Lorelai is insistent that Rory throws a rager in her absence. With who, exactly? I mean this in the kindest, gentlest way possible: Rory has no friends ( besides Lane, who I suppose has demonstrated her ability to slip out of her room un-noticed and attend wild parties on multiple occasions, should I give her partial credit here?) When you think about it, these are the only true, solid, non-frenemy, non-annoying hangers on (like Logan's "friends"), non-sexually tense friend pairs on Gilmore Girls: Lane and Rory Lorelai and Sookie Miss Patty & Babette. Welp that's it. GIlmore Girls teaches us an important lesson: If you have a penis, you're not allowed to have any friends (who you aren't trying to fuck).

17 years old, but already speaking like a true geriatric Millennial from the later 2000's. I heartily salute your low key lifestyle, Rory Gilmore. You do you, and don't listen to your mother.

"Haven't you ever seen the movie Risky Business? I don't mean you have to start a prostitution ring, but maybe an illegal casino or something." Well, if Rory wanted to start a prostitution ring, I know a teenage gigolo who can call some people and make it happen. L: Why is (Emily) honking? She hates honking.

Rory's Inner Monologue: "I know,I was there."

The chariot that will whisk Lorelai away to a secondary location so Rory can have a night of freedom from her insane mother. Maybe not freedom from three other people imposing their time on her against her wishes, but hey, no Lorelai!

One of my favorite parts of Gilly Girls is the 36 year old Chilton extras who have wives and 3 kids to get home to after chemistry class. Paris Geller's world crumbles when she discovers she recieved an A-Minus on her chemistry test. Since Madelyn and Louise won't give up their Friday Night Fuck Dates to help her study, Paris turns to her wife for help. After much badgering, Rory gives in and agrees to spend the entirety of the following week helping Paris study but declines for that evening, because Rory really needs to be alone, and just BE.

"A whole week of studying with Rory Gilmore. Ugh. I GUESS that's okay. I GUESS that doesn't make my nether regions flutter in anticipation or anything."

On top of the caffiene withdrawls, Emily re-arranged Lorelai's careful planning which was supposed to ensure she was seperated from Emily for the majority of the trip, so now all of their spa treatments are going to be in tandem! Lorelai's disappointments and caffiene withdrawls are like chicken soup for my soul. Ahhh! Okay, fine, Lorelai is pretty tolerable, even enjoyable to watch in this episode, but she's built up so much of whatever the opposite of goodwill is (badwill?) that it's hard for me to let go for one episode and not just snark on her constantly. A girl's gotta snark.

Emily and Taylor Doose were the OG Karens. Did anyone just feel a sudden chill?

AHH! You idiots, you have GOT to stop scaring me like that. Having to see Rory and Dean make out and then having to hear Rory pretend that it actually turned her on is another form of unthinkkable torture outlawed by the Geneva Convention. Rory's sexual experiences really went Dean Forrester, Logan, ????? (mystery 10 years), then Logan again. I hope there was something in between Logan and Logan, for I fear this poor thing has never had an orgasm in her life. Maybe Jess snuck in there somewhere after their initial breakup. Paris maybe? Ditch em all and buy a nice vibrator is what I say. Anything that would unbleach my eyes.

*to the tune of Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton* Unbleaach my eyeeesss....don't ever do it AGAAIIIN... Un-do this shit that caused me to claw at my brain and want to rip out my eyes...

If I had a nickel for every time AmyShermanPalladino flip-flopped between making Dean a Nerd or a Jock, I would have many nickels. Frankly, my dear Amy, we know he doesn't know how to read, play sports, or kiss a girl, so just knock it off already. The makeout session lasts an ungodly long amount of time (about another 10 seconds) because he insists on stopping to talk to her 3 words at a time between each torturous application of his lips to hers. I swear I'm going to make a Gilmore Girls Bingo Card and here's a space I'd add to the card: "Dean makes a suggestion for something HE wants to do, not taking Rory's time, feelings, or interest in said thing into consideration, Rory is not able to express just how deeply she does not want to be involved in the Thing, and then Dean goes "WHAT" when she hesitates and then manipulates her into doing the Thing against her wishes, or he offers her a terrible compromise that benefits her in no way whatsoever" This is the second episode in a row where this exact thing happened and probably like, the fourth time total. Dean trying to seduce/ interest Rory in a couple of minutes of awkward groping: "So tonight (SLORP) I was thinking (SLORP) since your mother's gonna be gone (SLORP) I could come over."

We have Oh. What? I repeat, Oh. What? has achieved liftoff. Your shitty manipulation tactics and slorping on Rory's face cannot bring me down, Forrester. Not in There's The Rub. Not gonna happen. Bring on Jess and Paris.

I await Dean Forrester's reasonable and measured response.

"You're right Dean Forrester, silly me, I dont know why I would ever consider spending a single minute of my time with anyone but you. Thus far you have given me no reason to avoid you like Covid-19, even though I don't know what that is."

The Butthead was too stunned to speak. Poor Rory has to EXPLAIN to Dean why she would ever entertain the idea of spending one night by herself. They should show Gilmore Girls in high school sex ed classes as an example of unhealthy dating relationships. I swear. I'm going to publish this Part 1 a little prematurely as I'm leaving for the afternoon and I may as well throw it up, much like the lunch Rory will throw up after making out with Dean. Part 2 soon.

study like paris geller

start early

to get as much done as possible, you may need to start waking up earlier. this can be hard, but once you start, it will get easier and easier until it is part of your routine. wake up earlier, start earlier, get it done.

try not to see others as competition, but use them as motivation

while paris saw rory as competition at first, she finished knowing that no one could compare to her and just because rory was also very intelligent, it doesn’t mean that she wasn’t. there will always be others that are getting better grades than you or studying better than you, but try not to get caught up in that. she’s top of the class? use her to motivate yourself to do better. if you’re feeling low and comparing yourself to others, there’s probably a reason for that. find what it is within yourself, fix it, and come back better than ever.

use all resources available to you

paris wouldn’t let one opportunity to better her education or further her intelligence pass, and neither should you. use every resource and opportunity handed to you and work for the ones that aren’t.

stay determined

there will always be times where you don’t feel like studying or you’re feeling discouraged, but do not let these moments or days keep you from doing what you need to do. it’s okay to rest your brain when needed, but never quit. your future self will thank you for it.

have a plan and stick to it

take time to make a plan that will work realistically and effectively for you. once you have your plan, stick to it. again, there will always be times where you aren’t feeling like it, but don’t let these moments negatively impact your habits and goals. stick to your routine and you will get to a point where you don’t even think twice about it anymore.

go above and beyond

when it comes to studying, it isn’t always enough to just do the bare minimum. most of the time, it will benefit you far more to put some extra time and work in. research further than just a chapter of a textbook or a few slides of a powerpoint. you will never regret being more well-read.

get out of your comfort zone

paris knows that to be the best, you will have to do some things that you have never done before. you will have to talk to new people, present your research to a big group of strangers, travel if needed, learn things you never thought you would have to learn, etc. your comfort zone will be your downfall. realize that you will have to do things you aren’t enthusiastic about, and that’s okay.

gilmore girls but it's 2022 Part 1

- paris geller

probably tested all the study related apps there are, was the one who made chilton allow phones in school because HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO STUDY ON LUNCH WITHOUT MY ANKI CARDS?, half of twitter knows and hates her, got kicked out of gsa for invalidating other people's feelings (yep, she found the am I a lesbian doc), has a study blog with photos of her annoyingly perfect notes

- jess mariano

thinks that coming out is unfair and stupid because straight people don't have to do that, so just acts like him being bi should be just as obvious as the sky being blue "why did you assume I'm straight in the first place?"; pirates books and only buys physical copies if they were good, has a phone just to have twitter, extremely invested in politics and thinks everyone should be

An incomplete list of reasons why Paris Geller (Gilmore Girls) is awesome and deserves a spot on the poll:

- favourite book: the Iliad (she's reread it many times)

- she takes flashcards to dates

- needs Rory to run for Student council president with her because "People find me intimidating and everybody likes you"

- has repeatedly (accidentally) made her fellow students cry

- decided a small-town cafe was the perfect place to find prostitutes and drugs (and ended up shouting at the owner when he denied this)

-when Lorelai hugs her she asks "what are you doing?"

- she HAS to get into Harvard / completely breaks down when she doesn't

- failed to get into Harvard due to poor people skills

- repeatedly inviting herself over to the Gilmore house at inconvenient times

-she needs to have a PROPER spring-break to the point of kissing Rory to achieve it

- gets her former nanny to take care of her sick boyfriend because sick people gross her out, despite this she ends up studying medicine

- the staff of the Inn hides whenever she comes by, due to her being overly critical of everything

-managed to have two long term boyfriends before ever facing the vulnerability of spending the night in one bed

- overly obsessive home security. Who says we don't need six locks?

- devellops a passion for Marxist theory the second she has to get a job

- while the editor of the Yale Daily she streamlines the publication process to the point where she is only referring to staff-members as numbers, and everybody hates her

- creates a living room sized checklist for graduating college the Right Way

And honestly so much more....

y'all heard anon ^!! big props for taking the time out to write this

Paris Geller as a Witch

If Paris Geller from Gilmore Girls were to embrace life as a witch, she would likely bring her signature intensity, ambition, and determination to her witchcraft practice. Here's a glimpse of what Paris as a witch might be like:

Studious Witch: Paris would approach witchcraft with the same level of dedication she applied to her academics. She'd spend countless hours researching and studying various forms of magic, grimoires, and spellcasting techniques. Her bookshelf would be filled with well-worn spellbooks and ancient texts.

Goal-Oriented Magic: Paris's ambition would translate into setting clear goals for her magical endeavors. She'd create detailed plans, rituals, and spellwork to achieve her objectives, whether it's personal growth, career success, or solving problems.

Organized and Detail-Oriented: Paris would be meticulous in her magical practices, paying attention to every detail of her spells and rituals. She might even create elaborate spreadsheets to track the outcomes and effectiveness of her magic over time.

Competitive Edge: Paris's competitive nature might lead her to explore advanced and unconventional magical practices to gain an edge over other witches. She'd always strive to be the best in her craft and would see other witches as both rivals and potential allies.

No-Nonsense Witch: Paris wouldn't waste time on frivolous or superstitious aspects of witchcraft. She'd focus on evidence-based practices and would be skeptical of anything that didn't have a proven track record. Her cauldron would be full of meticulously measured ingredients, and her wand would be polished to perfection.

Modern Witchcraft: Paris would likely incorporate technology into her craft, using apps, websites, and social media to connect with other witches, share her findings, and track her magical progress. She'd be a firm believer in adapting traditional practices to the modern world.

Mentorship and Leadership: Paris might take on the role of a mentor, guiding others in their magical journeys. She'd be an assertive and demanding teacher, pushing her students to excel and achieve their full potential.

Community Involvement: Despite her competitive nature, Paris would recognize the importance of a supportive witchcraft community. She'd attend coven meetings, participate in group rituals, and collaborate with other witches on research projects.

Potions Master: Paris would excel in potion-making, creating concoctions for various purposes, from enhancing intelligence to boosting confidence. Her potions would be carefully measured and tested for effectiveness.

Charmed Wardrobe: Paris's witchy wardrobe would be a mix of sophisticated, stylish, and functional clothing. She'd take pride in her witchy fashion, always making sure she looked the part of a serious and accomplished witch.

In summary, Paris Geller as a witch would be an intellectual and driven practitioner, combining her determination and ambition with a meticulous and organized approach to witchcraft. Her no-nonsense attitude and competitive spirit would set her apart in the magical community while allowing her to achieve great success in her craft.
