Ok I'm confused. In one season five episode they say Paris is pre-med at yale. But she's always on the paper and always talking about stories. Why is she doing that if she's studying medicine? Am i missing something?

paris is pre med at yale. she is on the paper because she is paris. in season 6 they vote to have off the paper as editor. rory convinces her this is best because she is pre med thus does not the need the paper although she comes back as a writer. the writers probably needed a way to include paris in the show . .. and i guess the paper was it. and paris is always into exta circular (sp?) groups etc because they look good on resumes and transcipts.

I think it's just a convenient way to continue her character's presence in the show. She conveniently goes to yale, she conveniently arranges to have the same room as rory and she conveniently does the paper for extra credit even though it has nothing to do with her subject and there are degree related extra credit things she could be doing. Seems a little odd to me.

I don´t think any sane person could handle the workload but I´m glad they kept her character.

yeah I like the character too, but you'd think it would make more sense if they put her in a journalism or literature degree or something. Just seems a bit odd to me because until they mentioned pre-med in season 5 all through season 4 I thought she must be doing Rory's thing.

thats why i admire paris' charachter because of her workload. she is always doing something, very rarely does she ever stop/relax. she is always on the go espically with something for school. i only wish i could be that dedicated. in season 6 paris is taking care of logan when he returns from the hospital and she is studying for the mcats. she is always studying. but on the other hand, she is doesnt have a job . .school is her job. not everyone is that lucky either. i wonder if paris reads like rory. does anyone know?

she seems to from the way she talks, I can't think of an exact example but that's always the impression I got. I remember she said she was re-reading the illiad or something when she was humiliated about her crazy high school televised speech.

I remember her saying (must have been season 4) that she's studying two subjects: medicine and politics. But I have only seen it in German, so that might be wrong. Mmh.

oh ok, that would make the newspaper make more sense. Can you usually combine medicine with other things?

pre med is not a major (in most school nehow) you still need a major in another area. so it is possiable that she was also studying politics. I used to be pre med (changed my mind) while majoring in psychology and social work at the same time so paris could be majoing in politics while studying pre med.

I think she said she had a double major, poli-sci and bio-chem and very early in the show Paris mentioned she wanted to be a scientist and cure cancer and stuff. Sometimes I think they overdoe it with their characters, they are all way too intelligent.

I loved the time when Paris said she hated sick people, and people kept pointing out the obvious: that she's studying pre-med. Hehe The other thing about Paris is that she mellows out a lot over the course of the series. I know she couldn't hold a grudge against Rory forever, but from watching reruns of the first couple of series', geez she was scary! It's interesting how they turned her character to Rory's complete foe to a pretty good friend.
