As Jess once put it: WHY did you DROP out of YALE?
toLuke and Lorelaisrelationship-ending fight in Season 6.
And I have to tell you… you dont got it.
For the aspiring journalist, thats a major blow.
Lorelai is puzzled by the decision and nearly two decades later, so am I.
Rory Loves School
As Rory explains to her mom, many students do take breaks from school.
And sometimes, thats exactly what they need.
But Rorys track record suggests its actually not what she needs in this situation.
Rory was studying English!
(Yaledoesnt offera journalism major, and she confirms shes an English major in Season 7.)
Throughout the series, Rory isalways readinga good book whether for class or fun.
Why not consider creative writing?
(Ialways wince when she brushes offHeadmaster Charlestons job offerinA Year in the Life.)
She was only halfway into her undergraduate career.
Though she says she doesnt want to wander, trying out new things is a big part of college.
Remember when she went to Europe after her affair with Dean the year before?
Or fled to Washington, D.C., after she kissed Jess in Season 2?
Both trips gave her some much-needed perspective and a similar getaway would have worked here, too.
