Perfecting the art of a basic white girl seems to be a difficult task. I mean, as soon as you catch up with one trend, another one starts. You have to toss away your love for Taylor Swift or S'well bottles just as quickly as the seasons change. Think you need some help in with your basic white girl game?

No need to fear, just follow these sixty steps.

1. Drink lots of Starbucks.

Specifically Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pink Drinks, and Vanilla Bean Frappicno's.

2. Take pictures of your Starbucks every time you get Starbucks.

3. Join a sorority.

And constantly fight people when they tell you it's paying for your friends.

4. Make sappy Instagram posts where you thank your sorority for helping you find your home & your soul sisters.

5. Have an unhealthy obsession with "Mean Girls."

Quote drop whenever necessary.

6. Listen to Fetty Wap & Drake while you pre-game in your big's apartment.

Because they are the greatest rappers of all time.

7. Only post pictures on Instagram if they fit your ~aesthetic~.

8. Wear leggings AT LEAST three times a week. Probably more.

9. Post pictures of your treadmill on Snapchat every time you go to the gym.

Because if you don't post a picture of it, you didn't go.

10. Go to a lot of country concerts during the summer.

11. Go to at least one jersey party a month.

12. Constantly ask your friends to take pictures of you.

13. And constantly ask strangers to take candids of you with your friends.

Don't forget to fake laugh!

14. Develop an unhealthy obsession with fall.

It is your favorite season, after all.

15. Post Boomerangs on your Instagram story a lot.

16. Call yourself a wine connoisseur, even though the only wine you drink is Barefoot Pink Moscato.

17. Watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette religiously, and live-tweet the whole thing.

18. Use Tinder "just for fun."

Don't forget to put a quote from The Office in your bio!

19. Complain about how bad carbs are for you every time you eat a meal heavy in carbs.


Bonus points - refer to yourself as a "Carbie."

20. Make Chipotle your go-to fast food stop.

21. Use Snapchat filters then make fun of yourself when you post a selfie on Instagram where you use a Snapchat filter.

22. Make a big deal about staying in every weekend night that you decide to stay in.

I'm talking at least three Snapchats of your Netflix screen and the pint of ice cream next to you.

23. Pick out a set of clothes EXCLUSIVELY for your walks of shame.

Rock that XL sleeper shirt, shorts, and make sure your hair and makeup looks like total shit.

24. Plan your Halloween costume months in advance.

Even dedicate a Pinterest board to ideas!

25. Dress up as a cat, Harley Quinn, a piece of fruit, or an athlete for Halloween.

26. Obsess over tailgate season.

I mean, it is the best season.

27. Drink out of a S'well water bottle.

Specifically a marble one.

28. Wear chokers when you want to feel ~edgy~.

29. Wear white high-top Converse with your leggings.

Even though we all know white shoes will get dirty.

30. Become obsessed with doing your eyebrows.

Gotta keep them on fleek.

31. Wear XL t-shirts and Nike shorts to class, along with your Birkenstocks.

Don't do your hair or makeup, either. It'd be a shame to look like you tried.

32. Own an iPhone and a Macbook.

Bonus points if your iPhone screen is shattered.

33. Cover your MacBook in Redbubble stickers.

34. Constantly tweet about how Beyonce is QUEEN.

35. Be a nursing, education, or fashion major.

Because we all know ONLY basic white girls want to be kindergarten teachers.

36. Be either very down-home, Southern Conservative or be a very liberal feminist. There is no middle political ground for basic white girls.

Time to choose your side.

37. Buy your lipstick EXCLUSIVELY from Kylie Cosmetics.

38. Only post on Facebook when you need to post a very timely "life update."

Like getting a new job, changing your major, or needing people to donate to your Dance Marathon page.

39. Write open letters to your ex-boyfriend or your little on Odyssey.

#Guilty

40. Hang Christmas lights in your dorm room.

41. And a tapestry. Don't forget the tapestry.

42. Aspire to be more like Taylor Swift. Or hate her. One of the two.

She's either your queen or your worst enemy.

43. Go out to brunch on the weekends.

44. Go to Zumba classes.

45. Or Yoga. Or Pilates.

46. Get insanely hype for 7 for $27 at Victoria's Secret.

47. Use the caption "Go best friend, that's my best friend" or "Let me tell you 'bout my best friends" on some cute pic of you and your BFFs before a party.

48. Make a Finsta, where you post pictures of you kissing Smirnoff bottles and other ~edgy~ things.

49. Get a tiny tattoo of a heart, cross, or infinity sign.

50. Get said tattoo on your wrist or ankle.

51. Let everyone know how much you LOVE dogs.

"Hi guys, my name is Becky, I'm a junior nursing major, and a fun fact about me is that I love dogs."

52. ALWAYS ask strangers if you can pet their dog.

53. Develop an unexplainable obsession with Target.

Don't forget, their $1 section is the best.

54. Use dry shampoo more often than you probably should.

55. Listen to a lot of mainstream pop music.

Taylor Swift included, unless you hate her. (Refer back to #42)

56. Get your nails done AT LEAST once a month.

57. Use Pinterest to plan your future wedding.

58. Spend a lot of time perfecting your "messy" bun.

59. Cry while watching "The Notebook."

60. Live your life through inspirational quotes.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" after all.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
