Don’t steal a yacht, and 41 other life lessons we learned from 'Gilmore Girls'

Always remember to pick up your nice clothes from the cleaners before important life events.

In the year 2000, the world was forever changed thanks to the brilliant Amy Sherman-Palladino and a quaint Connecticut town. For seven blissful years we had the pleasure of living vicariously through the lives of the quirky, quick-witted and caffeinated characters of Stars Hollow, and after years of filling our Gilmore-voids by watching re-runs and drinking obscenely large quantities of coffee, the girls are back.

In anticipation of the the Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, we thought it would be wise to look back on some of the many valuable life lessons Gilmore Girls has taught us.

From fashion, food and romance wisdom to the extremely important "don't steal a yacht," here are some of the most important pieces of advice we learned from watching (and re-watching and re-watching) the series.
