Fall Edition

With fall weather quickly approaching, the basic white girls will soon be appearing. According to Urban Dictionary, a “White Girl” is “A creature who often posts pictures of Starbucks on Instagram, Tumblr or Facebook. Often wears leggings and Ugg boots and posts about how Nutella is very good when everybody knows it is. You will always see a white girl with her Ugg Boots on, Leggings on, and iPhone at Starbucks” (UrbanDictionary). In case you don't already fit this description, here's a few ways you can...

1. Invest in numerous pairs of the same black leggings, a pair of Uggs (or knock-offs if you're also a broke college student), and a North Face.

2. Pre-order the iPhone 7, even though you're already walking around with the 6s Plus.

3. Cry about the fact that soon your tan lines are going to go away.

4. Follow all of the fall accounts on Tumblr, and pin DIY fall decor on Pinterest.

5. Last, but certainly not least, go to Starbucks and order yourself a Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte, because 'tis the season.

While being "basic" consists of much more than just these five features, these are the main ones you need to achieve in order the status for this fall. Don't forget your risqué Halloween costume and pretending to be scared at a Haunted House with your prospective bae on your arm.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
