Always be as basic as you want.

6 Things To Keep In Mind If You Want To Be A Basic Queen

Sometimes being basic is frowned upon and I just wonder why?

But first, you need to understand the definition of "basic."

What does it mean? Why is it a descriptive term, and more importantly, why is it a bad thing?

The literal definition in the urban dictionary of the word "basic" is, and I quote: "only interested in things mainstream, popular, or trending". A few of the hashtags that accompanying this definition are #lame, #boring, and #notcool. I want to know: WHY?

What's so wrong with liking to wear boots with leggings or drink pumpkin spice lattes? I mean I'm slightly allergic to cinnamon and I'm lactose intolerant, but I suffer through my throat itchiness and sharp stomach pains to drink the amazing coffee concoction that is a pumpkin spice latte.

Calling someone basic is just how some people like to insult others, but it doesn't make much, if any, sense.

1. Leggings

Comfort, style, versatility, stretch and COMFORT. Honestly, what else do you need? I have 5 pairs of black leggings that I 10000% plan on wearing every day of the school week. My mom has 11. ELEVEN. #worthit

2. Oversized sweaters/sweatshirts

Ummm can I just say, slapping people with the excess sleeves from my 4 sizes too large sweatshirts is the greatest joy I have any given day. I would give anything for an endless supply of oversized sweaters.

3. Snapchat filters

I know looking like a dog or having butterflies flying around my head in the shape of a crown is unrealistic. Don't you thINK I KNOW THAT? It's FUN. Leave me alone.

4. "Text talk"

I say omg, lol, hbu, tbh and gtg literally everyday. And literally. A lot. I ask a lot of rhetorical questions, use a TON of commas, and a lot of random capitalizations. IT'S FUN AND YOu'll just have to deal with it.

5. Pumpkin spice lattes

YES I'M BRINGING THEM UP AGAIN. I LOVE THEM. THEY'RE MAGICAL CUPS OF BEAN JUICE THAT I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF.

My point of this whole word vomit of an article is: BE BASIC. IT'S FUN.

(All hail queen Adele.)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
