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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
