The word basic, once used to described something without too much complexity or even to describe a chemical solution has now taken on a greater meaning. It is now a way to describe someone's behavior. Doing something that is too mainstream can result in you being labeled as basic. Being basic doesn't discriminate and affects millions of people each day. Here are 10 signs you might be basic:
1. If Starbucks practically runs through your veins.
If you randomly find empty Starbucks cups in your car, room, or even locker, you're probably basic.
2. If you're a pro at using Snapchat filters.
It's not your fault if nothing makes you feel cuter than that flower crown and angelic glow.
3. If You live in your chestnut Uggs during the Winter.
Nothing goes better with an outfit then these cute and cozy boots, trust me I get it. Unfortunately, you’re still most likely basic.
4. If You send your friends multiple selfies before posting the one.
5. If you’ve ever posted a picture of your food.
Some food is just too pretty to not share with the world.
6. If you’ve ever used the phrase “literally, I can’t” (or some variation of just “can’t-ing”).
Some situations are just so far beyond coherent sentences.
7. If either OTH, Grey's, or Gossip Girl is your favorite series.
Spotted; S finishing a whole season of Grey's Anatomy only having 6 major emotional breakdowns. xoxo gossip girl
8. If you’re twitter username has ever been the name of your favorite character/celeb.
Hey don’t worry. No judgment here, after all I was Tris Prior for a good 6 months after I read Divergent.
9. If you know every line in Mean Girls verbatim.
Don't sweat it, at least Regina George would be proud.
10. If you can find your name on a Coca-Cola bottle.
Let's face it, you probably know at least 5 other people with your name personally. With a name like that you were almost destined to be basic.
At least half of these things are applicable to your life? I have bad news and good news. Bad news: you're probably basic. Good news: No one actually cares. Everyone is basic in some aspects and if you say you're not then you're in denial. It is possible to be basic yet still be your own unique person, so keep using those snapchat filters as you drink your venti black tea lemonade. I'm not judging you.
