Stars Hollow, Connecticut, is the dream location for fall, as Connecticut’s fall foliage is vast and long. Stars Hollow is a quaint town with many fall traditions, such as the fall festival that brings the town together. To follow in the footsteps of the Gilmore girls, locate a local festival or farmers market to help give back to the community and allow you an opportunity to find new clothes, decorations, treats, and memories. As you stroll through the streets, the welcoming business may call to you as you head for shelter from the crisp winds. While Lorelai and Rory may find themselves in Luke’s Diner to grab coffee and breakfast, students can visit The Honeycomb or Starbucks for coffee or hot cocoa, which will warm them right up. For the quarter, if you are still searching for fuel elsewhere, the Student Choice in The Bonnie can offer you Nutella French toast, waffles, and other warm breakfast options.

If you have the spare time, walk into the McConnell Library for Rory’s recommendations like The Bell Jar, The Scarlet Letter, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Great Gatsby, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. As you walk to class, warmed by a sweater and hot coffee, listen to music that glamorizes the walk. Go for Rory’s indie style, The Shins, or Lorelai’s bold style, Blondie. There are many playlists like this one that include the soundtrack or mentioned artists in the show. As the day wraps up, end the night with a classic movie to allow yourself to reference it in everyday conversations like, “Wow, you’re the new Heather,” or “Look, Officer Krupke.”
