Zoe Lodge. A pile of textbooks, school supplies, and schoolwork await AGHS students every night when they get home from school. As one of the two main characters of the long-lasting, cult classic, mother-daughter sitcom, Gilmore Girls , she left a lasting impression on teenagers for the following twenty years. Today, an unfavorable connection can be drawn between Rory Gilmore and modern teenagers.

After a change in her dream school from Harvard University to attend Yale, things went downhill. She had a falling out with her mother, moved in with her grandparents, did her court-ordered community service, and began assisting her grandmother at the Daughters of the American Revolution. Rory was out of Yale for a full semester before finally repairing her relationship with her mom and returning to school.

Today, within the world of competitive academics, people find themselves going through a similar cycle of Rory, realizing and accepting that they may not be able to live up to expectations previously held by themselves and others. One difference from the show is that this process is happening in high school, on a much more accelerated timeline than Gilmore Girls.

This could be due to modern pressures of social media, impossibly low college acceptance rates, or the wide range of college-level courses expected and encouraged in high school or online learning. A rather alarming finding relating to AGHS students occurred through a poll available to hundreds of students, in which students voted that they have experienced academic burnout, and only 5 responded that they did not.

Out of the four students of varying grades interviewed, they all shared similar indicators of academic burnout. Slipping grades, lack of motivation, and loss of interest in school and activities. Being designated as a gifted or advanced student at a young age seems to have had an adverse effect on both AGHS students and fictional examples, setting early expectations and pressures that can wear students down over time.
