10 Signs That You're A Basic White Girl
Monica Meier

We've all seen them.

The girls in Uggs, sipping their pumpkin lattes from Starbucks while they text their friends. My sister inspired me to write to you all about what it means to be a basic white girl. Have you ever wondered if you're a basic white girl (BWG)? Here are 10 signs that you, or someone you know, might be basic.

1. iPhones

How else are you supposed to communicate? Duh.

2. Uggs

The BWG uniform consists of Uggs, complete with leggings and a Victoria's Secret "Pink" sweatshirt.

3. Starbucks

The first two may not apply to me, but even I'm guilty of this one. I love a good frappe.

4. Monograms. Monograms everywhere

Just in case you wanted everyone in the world to know your initials, you put it on your shirt, your phone case, your coffee cup, and even your bedding.

Also, why do people put their last initial in the middle?

5. You own something from Jack Rogers, Vineyard Vines, Lily Pulitzer or Northface.

Bonus points? All four.

6. French tip nails

In case you want to Instagram yourself holding your Starbucks.

7. Duck lips

'Nuff said.

8. Instagram posts include inspirational quotes

Pictures of food, cats, duck lips, and coffee just must not inspire me as much as it does you.

9. You have a Pinterest board for your dream house, dream wedding, and dream closet.

Guilty as charged.

10. You've used the words "totes," TBH," "adorbs," "literally can't even," etc.

I actually heard my grandpa use one of these once.

If you or someone you know fits these descriptions, you might be basic. That's ok! Embrace your Starbucks-filled self, take a selfie, and know that all those other girls are totes just jealous!

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.
