Why It's Totally Okay To Be A "Basic White Girl."

Ugg Boots, Leggings, And Oversized Hoodies, Oh My!

Why It's Totally Okay To Be A "Basic White Girl."
Olivia Napier

Make fun of us all you want, but I'll continue being warm in my oversized hoodie, Ugg boots, and leggings.

The below 30 temperature is not this summer lovin' girls favorite time of year and for a 5'2 runner, I don't exactly have a lot of heat storing capabilities. Sure, playing in the snow is fun but walking across campus in the cold only to find out your class is cancelled is not!

I call it the "Basic BumFit.", let me introduce you. When you wake up in the morning, look at the weather and see that unfortunate 29 degrees pop up, the only solution is to slip into the Basic Bumfit. Hate on it if you please, but I'll be laughing when you're the one freezing. A Bumfit is not complete unless you're drinking your favorite warm drink, you're sporting an oversized sweatshirt/hoodie, fuzzy socks, leggings, Ugg boots, and the occasional hat or beanie.

It's really not that hard to understand for all you haters. It's simple really:

Coffee makes me feel all warm and fuzzy even in the coldest weather.

Big hoodies make me feel warm and safe like the person who gave it to me.

Leggings look cute with about everything (including the Basic Bumfit.)

Uggs care more about the warmth of my feet than any human ever would, with the Ugg boot's best friend, the fuzzy socks.

Hats/beanies save my life when the unfortunate bad hair day hits making any Bumfit complete.

Just because I wear leggings, boots, and an oversized sweatshirt doesn't mean that I stereotypically "can't even" or that the tanning bed is my top priority because "I want my skin as tan as my caramel spiced latte."

So please, continue to make fun of my outfit and ill just sit back, drink my coffee and light my pumpkin spice candle while watching you judgmental Basic Bumfit haters freeze your little hating butts off.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
