AN: Okay, this is my first story so please tell me what you think by reviewing. In case you some of you want to know, the chapter will be longer as I progress.

Disclaimer: I own nothing...which is in a way, quite sad.

It took a lot to reach this point, major life changing decisions not to mention changes, leaving Stars Hollow High, entering Chilton, getting to know both set of grandparents but she knew this was exactly where she was meant to be. She started out as the small town princess of Stars Hollow with her mom right by her side and her dad struggling with his responsibilities. Somewhere along the line, her dad was able to grow up, become responsible, and most of all, be the type of father Rory needed him to be.

The improved Christopher didn't surprise Lorelai a bit, she always knew he would be capable of great things but he just needed to straighten his life out first. At first she wasn't sure how long she would wait for him but right now, knowing he would take an active part in Rory's life, that would be good enough for her.

It was once again the fresh beginning of a new school year. The campus dorm buildings were crowded with both new and returning Yalies. The halls were filled with reunions between friends, meeting new acquaintances, paid movers struggling to transport equipments they were ordered to move, and families biding farewell to their loved ones. All in all, this was almost exactly how Rory pictured, her college life would start. She knew this would be the start of a new portion of her life.
