8 Activities All Basic Girls Do In The Summer

Here’s an arguable question: what is a basic girl’s favorite season?

Well, Spring can be pretty much thrown out—although hunting down the perfect pastel Easter dress can be exhilarating, pollen from those dang blooming flowers mess with our allergies and make our eyes water, causing our makeup to run. Spring isn’t even legitimate shorts weather, let alone dress weather. So, obviously, our favorite season is not Spring.

So that leaves Winter, Summer, and Fall. Winter is too cold. Yes, cold enough for a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but that’s about it. Fall brings football games that include tailgating. Aside from these wonderful festivities, I’d have to claim that Summer is the favored season of the basic girl.

So, in celebration of the upcoming, glorious season that is summer, here are a few activities you’d expect to see from a basic girl during this time (me included).

1. Buy the new trendy swimsuit style of 2017

Apparently, the style for this year is to copy the Baywatch swimsuit look: a one-piece swimsuit that looks exactly like the one in the photo that every girl reposted on their Instagram a couple of weeks ago in hopes to win a free swimsuit. In case you were wondering, it was a scam.

2. After buying the iconic swimsuit, we post numerous photos while wearing it on our annual trip to the beach

Believe me, wait until June or July—you will see about 3 to 4 photos a day.

3. Go to Disney World or Disneyland

I relate to this on a personal level, as I would go to Disney World in a heartbeat at any time of the year. Once we go to Disney, we come back with 5 pairs of Mickey ears, 10 stuffed animals, 15 Disney mugs, 20 Disney T-shirts, and we make another trip to go back as soon as we get home.

4. Spend our money on Starbucks, Sonic’s Happy Hour, donuts, smoothies, etc.

I do this, too, and I’m partially embarrassed. I’ve probably spend about $20 to $30 on a variety of the items listed.

5. Drown our worries at the pool

The pale look has gone out of style and now we MUST achieve a golden tan. For the hardcore girls, the ultimate achievement is, as SpongeBob would call it, sun-bleached. Olaf, too, is even “prob’ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer”.

6. Catching up on every Netflix series ever made

I have already watched 6 different series and I am “patiently” waiting for Season 2 of “OITNB,” Season 2 of “Stranger Things,” Season 2 of “13 Reasons Why,” and Season 4 of “Degrassi.” No big deal (Yes, it’s a huge deal).

7. Keeping up with our “summer bodies”

To do half of these activities, we have to keep in shape. My personal favorite is Crossfit—I love seeing people’s reactions when I tell them I Crossfit. Newsflash: I’m not lying.

8. Wait patiently for school to start again

Although these activities are fun and relaxing, we all know we miss our friends back in our college towns. Insert sad face here.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
