10 Signs That You're A Basic White Girl
Monica Meier

We've all seen them.

The girls in Uggs, sipping their pumpkin lattes from Starbucks while they text their friends. My sister inspired me to write to you all about what it means to be a basic white girl. Have you ever wondered if you're a basic white girl (BWG)? Here are 10 signs that you, or someone you know, might be basic.

1. iPhones

How else are you supposed to communicate? Duh.

2. Uggs

The BWG uniform consists of Uggs, complete with leggings and a Victoria's Secret "Pink" sweatshirt.

3. Starbucks

The first two may not apply to me, but even I'm guilty of this one. I love a good frappe.

4. Monograms. Monograms everywhere

Just in case you wanted everyone in the world to know your initials, you put it on your shirt, your phone case, your coffee cup, and even your bedding.

Also, why do people put their last initial in the middle?

5. You own something from Jack Rogers, Vineyard Vines, Lily Pulitzer or Northface.

Bonus points? All four.

6. French tip nails

In case you want to Instagram yourself holding your Starbucks.

7. Duck lips

'Nuff said.

8. Instagram posts include inspirational quotes

Pictures of food, cats, duck lips, and coffee just must not inspire me as much as it does you.

9. You have a Pinterest board for your dream house, dream wedding, and dream closet.

Guilty as charged.

10. You've used the words "totes," TBH," "adorbs," "literally can't even," etc.

I actually heard my grandpa use one of these once.

If you or someone you know fits these descriptions, you might be basic. That's ok! Embrace your Starbucks-filled self, take a selfie, and know that all those other girls are totes just jealous!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
