(Rory's POV)

Let me start by telling you where I'm at in life. I successfully graduated from Chilton Prep as one of the top 5 students in our class. From there, I moved onto Harvard where I graduated in the top 10% of the class. I majored in journalism and my career took off from there.

That summer I spent back home in Stars Hollow looking for jobs, applying for them and doing interviews. I wasn't really around much that summer; I was always on the go. In August, I got a letter from the New York Times letting me know that I had gotten the job. The rest of the summer, Mom and I looked around the city and I finally found myself a nice, cozy apartment for one.

My first 2 years I worked as hard as I could to get a better position. Just last year I got my own office and a secretary and am one of the youngest and top writers for the Times. It's my dream come true.

So here I am, at the age of 25, living my life exactly as I planned and I'm loving it. I have great friends with whom I work with, however I did just get out of a long relationship. But I'm over that finally and I'm moving on.

I keep in touch with Mom and I visit Stars Hollow as often as I can. She's doing great. It's been weird, she isn't married to Luke but they are living together. Luke says he doesn't want to get married so they are just "dating" I guess you'd call it and everything seems to be working out fine. As a matter of fact, they are exploring Europe right now. I believe they'll be there for a while. Dean and I broke up after high school graduation and I haven't heard from him since. I think he might have moved back to Chicago. Lane and I are still close. She lives in New York pursuing her music career and she's been pretty successful. We meet for coffee as much as we can. And Jess, I kept in touch with him for my first year of college but I don't know what happened. I think he stopped writing to me and now I don't know where he is.

So that's it, that's my life since my years in Stars Hollow. I don't think I could've asked for anything better.

***Sorry it's short but I promise next chapter will be longer - I just needed to get it started. Please review! Thanx!***
