Here’s what Rory Gilmore’s job is in “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life”

In literally the second episode of Gilmore Girls, Rory Gilmore announces that she wants to be a reporter like Christiane Amanpour and, “travel, see the world up close, report on what’s really going on… and write books and articles about what [she] sees.”

Well, friends. It looks like Rory Gilmore believed in her dreams, and she has since achieved her dreams.

When Gilmore Girls: A Year in the life picks up, Rory is a hard-hitting reporter.

Earlier this year, a picture from the upcoming Netflix series was released, and it showed Rory hanging out in a classroom. With an image like that we were all like, “OMG RORY IS A TEACHER, THIS IS GREAT.” That’s actually not the case; she still visits a classroom, clearly, probably to share her wise wisdom and learning with the future generations. But she’s not a teacher, she’s a writer.

In the latest issue of Us Weekly, Alexis Bledel confirms that this is her chosen path, and we couldn’t be happier. Last we saw Rory, she was boarding a bus to hit the campaign trail, and it sounds like she never left.

"Rory started her work as a journalist at the same time that newspapers were going away," Bledel explains. "Her field changed dramatically as she was just kind of getting up and running. So that’s where we pick up with her. [She's] kind of chasing each story that she becomes passionate about and wants to tell."

BRB, just crying a little about the fact that all Rory’s dreams come true. Believe in your dreams, kids ?
