What we can learn from Rory’s gap semester in ‘Gilmore Girls’
There is a common stigma around gap years, something that even “Gilmore Girls” fans are not immune to considering the excessive slander Rory received for taking time off.

With faltering approval of their Democratic frontrunner, it’s questionable whether young Americans will have as substantial of a voter turnout as they did in the 2020.
