10 Signs You Might Be Basic

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

10 Signs You Might Be Basic

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.

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.

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.
