One of the most effective ways of romanticizing your role as a student is to remember that some of your favorite pop-culture characters were straight-A bookworm students themselves. Studying for a stressful midterm suddenly becomes a lot more exciting when you envision yourself as Rory Gilmore sipping a cup of steaming coffee huddled under a desk light working hard to prove you can continue to succeed. By embracing the energy of your favorite student character, you can find new ways to enjoy the experience of learning and going to school.
Rory (Lorelai) Gilmore is a student character from the 2000 WB/CW television series “Gilmore Girls”. She is the only daughter of her single mom Lorelai, and dreams of attending Harvard University. She studies at a prestigious private school called “Chilton” and studies hard to prove she is just as smart as the snobby private school kids.
Hermione Granger is a student character from the Harry Potter book and movie series by author J.K. Rowling. She is a strong-willed and fearlessly smart female character who prides herself in having a wealth of knowledge.
