10 Signs You Might Be Basic

"Are you a 14 on the pH scale? Because you're basic."

10 Signs You Might Be Basic
Tumblr.com

The word basic, once used to described something without too much complexity or even to describe a chemical solution has now taken on a greater meaning. It is now a way to describe someone's behavior. Doing something that is too mainstream can result in you being labeled as basic. Being basic doesn't discriminate and affects millions of people each day. Here are 10 signs you might be basic:

1. If Starbucks practically runs through your veins.

If you randomly find empty Starbucks cups in your car, room, or even locker, you're probably basic.

2. If you're a pro at using Snapchat filters.

It's not your fault if nothing makes you feel cuter than that flower crown and angelic glow.

3. If You live in your chestnut Uggs during the Winter.

Nothing goes better with an outfit then these cute and cozy boots, trust me I get it. Unfortunately, you’re still most likely basic.

4. If You send your friends multiple selfies before posting the one.

There's a lot to worry about while taking selfies; lighting, angles, and most importantly facial expression.

5. If you’ve ever posted a picture of your food.


Some food is just too pretty to not share with the world.

6. If you’ve ever used the phrase “literally, I can’t” (or some variation of just “can’t-ing”).


Some situations are just so far beyond coherent sentences.

7. If either OTH, Grey's, or Gossip Girl is your favorite series.


Spotted; S finishing a whole season of Grey's Anatomy only having 6 major emotional breakdowns. xoxo gossip girl

8. If you’re twitter username has ever been the name of your favorite character/celeb.


Hey don’t worry. No judgment here, after all I was Tris Prior for a good 6 months after I read Divergent.

9. If you know every line in Mean Girls verbatim.

Don't sweat it, at least Regina George would be proud.

10. If you can find your name on a Coca-Cola bottle.

Let's face it, you probably know at least 5 other people with your name personally. With a name like that you were almost destined to be basic.

At least half of these things are applicable to your life? I have bad news and good news. Bad news: you're probably basic. Good news: No one actually cares. Everyone is basic in some aspects and if you say you're not then you're in denial. It is possible to be basic yet still be your own unique person, so keep using those snapchat filters as you drink your venti black tea lemonade. I'm not judging you.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
