11 Apps Every Basic College Girl Has On Her Silver iPhone X

In This Article:

Every basic college girl is pretty similar. They own at least ten pairs of the same black leggings, love Starbucks, are probably obsessed with their sorority and Taylor Swift, and of course, are team iPhone until the day they die. Much similar to their interests, the apps on every basic college girl's silver iPhone X are also very, very similar. Here are 11 apps you KNOW will be downloaded on every basic college girl you know's iPhone.

1. Venmo

If you haven't been asked by a blonde sorority girl in one of your orgs to "Venmo me!" the extra $5 you owe her, you haven't really experienced college. Before I went to college I had no idea what Venmo even was, but now I can't imagine going through life without it. It's a necessity to get your money back after splitting an Uber or picking up a friend's tab at dinner.

2. Uber

Honestly, how did people go out to bars without Uber? Paying $7 for a ride from your apartment to the college bar is SO much easier than trying to convince a friend to take a night off from drinking and play the DD. You know every college girl would rather just dish out a few extra dollars than pay taxi driver on a Satruday night. Uber is also great if you're like me and don't have a car on campus. While you may have to pay a bit more to use Uber than to take public transportation, it's a lot easier and more personable.

3. Snapchat

What is a basic white girl without at least thirteen different Snapchat streaks or at least three drunk Snaps every time she heads out to the bar?

4. Instagram

I'm not sure which social media app is more basic - Instagram or Snapchat. You know every college girl is filling her Instagram feed with pictures of her and her Greek fam, a ~casual~ selfie, something seasonal, and a picture or two from her nights out at the frats.

5. VSCO

VSCO is the app every basic college girl has, but typically doesn't let her mom follow her on. It's where all her ~aesthetic~ pics are posted, along with probably one or two images of her partaking in illegal activity.

6. HUJI

Who could forget the 2018 trend of everyone taking pictures on this app? While I personally never perfected the act of a hipster HUJI selfie, photos with that classic orange-tinted filter and date in the bottom corner were taking us back to the '90s every time we logged on social media.

7. Tinder

Ah, Tinder. The infamous hookup app. Even if most girls won't talk about it, if they're single, you know they have a Tinder.

8. GroupMe

Before I went to college I had no idea what GroupMe was. Now I can't imagine my life without it. You know every basic college girl HAS to have GroupMe downloaded, for her sorority and every group project she's kind of behind in.

9. Twitter

Although I wouldn't argue that Twitter is the supreme, most basic of the basic social media app, it's something for basic girls everywhere to scroll through when they're not paying attention during the history lecture.

10. Spotify

Now, there may be a debate between the basics for Team Spotify and Team Apple Music, if she's got any sense in her brain she'll have Spotify downloaded on her phone and constantly streaming through her ears.

11. Buzzfeed

Buzzfeed quizzes and basic college girls go together like chips and guac. It's a match made in heaven.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
