Being A "Basic White Girl" Is Fun
http://data2.whicdn.com

School is starting, the leaves are beginning to change color, and all things basic white girl are running rampant. Most girls try to hide the fact that they are "basic", but I am here to proclaim that I don't care and being a basic white girl is super fun.

It's the end of summer and that means it's Labor Day yet again. And for some reason that means going to the beach and making sure you get as tan as possible before heading back to school. A true basic white girl is going to make sure to capture a picture at the beach to make sure everyone knows she was there. And the picture has to be topped off with an amazingly ridiculous caption like "beach hair, don't care!" and these post are perfectly ok. Taking those pictures with your friends is also a blast. Who cares if you're getting 800 dirty looks from strangers. They aren't having as much fun as you are.

Another fun basic white girl thing, is wearing Ugg boots. First off, they're slippers you can wear outside. Second, up north it gets very cold in the winter and Uggs are a great way to keep your feet warm without having to wear seven pairs of socks. There is no better outfit than an oversized sweater, leggings, and some Uggs. Not only are you comfortable, but you look adorable.

Next is the mother load of all things basic white girl. The thing ever girl waits all year for. Pumpkin. Spice. Lattes. Please do not feel ashamed to get the large cup of Starbucks and post on every social media page you have that you are currently drinking fall in a cup. These bad boys are delicious and no one should be scrutinized for enjoying one.

There are so many jokes revolving around the fact that being a basic white girl is a bad thing or something that should be made fun of. But in reality, being a basic white girl can be really fun and no one should feel bad for enjoying the things they do.

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.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
