15 Fall Essentials for Basic Girls
Forbes

If you’re one of those basic girls like me that’s literally obsessed with fall, you know there are essentials you cannot get through the season without; here are only a few:

  1. Pumpkin Spice Everything- I mean everything, as we speak I’m drinking a pumpkin spice latte but there is, of course, pumpkin spice coffee, tea, candles, whip cream, perfumes, and hand sanitizers. If you really can’t stand pumpkin spice..first, you’re not basic enough to hang with us, please leave, and two, you better LOVE salted caramel.
  2. Fall Decor- Fake leaves, pumpkins, cute little figurines, white Christmas lights, the only acceptable time to use orange anything. If your room doesn’t look like maple fest you’re doing it wrong.
  3. Leg Warmers- Yes, I said it, leg warmers. Specifically creams and burgundies. Peeking out of a knee high boot? Way too cute.
  4. Candles- Fall scents are the best scents. “Autumn” and “Flannel” from Bath and Body Works? Stock up now, ladies.
  5. Chunky Knit- Chunky knit sweaters and scarves and hats.
  6. Fall Playlists for Every Mood- You know you’re going to play sweater weather on repeat.
  7. Liquid lipsticks- But honestly you only need like three because you know you’re only going to wear variations of burgundy.
  8. Flannels- The only time I will ever approve of plaid. But flannels are cute with leggings OR around the waist, so versatile.
  9. Leggings- While we are on the topic we should probably mention to the masses, just because we wear leggings every day does not mean we’re gross, we own like 14 pairs, but honestly we might be still wearing the same ones as yesterday.
  10. Booties- I mean, everyone loves butts year round, but I mean shoes this time, guys.
  11. Instagrammable photos- of your latte, of the changing leaves, of you and your SO apple picking, at a corn maze, with a random dog that makes you look super fall-grammable.
  12. Statement Necklaces - Because you’re wearing so many simple sweaters and leggings you need something to spice up your outfit.
  13. Halloween movies - Cuddle up on the couch, pop some popcorn, and enjoy some “Hocus Pocus.”
  14. Nails to kill - Fall nail trends slay all other seasons and we all know that.
  15. 10,000 dollars- To fund all of these necessities.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
