Why I'm Not Ashamed to Be a Basic White Girl

Some people may say I’m basic, others may not; This buzzfeed quiz even told me that I’m only about 25% basic. Urban Dictionary defines “white girl” as “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.”Honestly, I find this description slightly offensive but also sadly accurate. However, I’m not ashamed to say that I fit this stereotype pretty well, and here’s why:

1. Ugg boots are warm and comfortable. Anyone who says differently is lying. I don’t even care that they’re “Ugg-ly.”

2. Leggings are also super comfy. I may be wearing some right now.

3. Yoga pants as well. Plus they make my butt look good.

4.Scarves aren’t just pretty, they’re also warm.

5. Flannels. Plaid is ugly, but put it on a flannel and white girls will flock.

6. And Lululemon leggings. I have yet to rip them like I have with every other pair of leggings I’ve owned.

7. Sweaters give me life. Ask anyone who’s ever looked in my closet. I own more than the average basic white girl, and I wear every single one of them too.

8. Starbucks is delicious. I thoroughly enjoy my grande soy green tea latte with no sweetener. Even though they continue to spell my name wrong when it’s written on my Gold Card.

9. Fall is pretty. Plus it marks the end of me sweating every minute of the day.

10. Grey’s Anatomy may not be an accurate show, but I love it. Sorry not sorry.

11. Songs that tell you the dance moves are fun. Plus I can’t dance any other way because, as stated before, I’m a white girl. My body doesn’t move like that. Put me in a room with a random song playing and you’ll laugh at me, but turn on the ChaCha slide and I’ll own that shit.

12. Mean Girls is so fetch. I wore my pink jumper every Wednesday in high school, and I have absolutely no shame about it

13. What’s wrong with getting craft ideas from Pinterest? I may not use it constantly, but I love Pinteresting.

14. Scream-singing in the car with my friends is a regular event. Anyone who says they don’t enjoy it obviously hasn't done it or hates joy.

15. I make my friends come with me to the bathroom because I enjoy their company. And I have severe FOMO.

You can call me basic all you want; I'll just go enjoy my Starbucks and Instagram without you. Watch me walk away in my leggings, scarf, and sweater.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
