16 Fall Things That Make Every Girl A Little Basic

Sure, summer is great. Winter and spring have their perks too--but every girl knows fall is the season where it all comes together. Oversized sweaters are donned with cute boots and cozy scarves. Warm coffee drinks can finally be swapped for iced coffee as a cool chill sets in the air. It's the perfect romantic backdrop for cozy Saturdays wrapped in a blanket with a significant other.

The problem being that essentially all girls love fall (what's NOT to love), and this has given fall the unfortunate title of being a little basic. Let's dig into the specific fall things that make every girl a little basic:

1. PSL

Starting off with the big hitter in the realm of all things basic: Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte. But you're only getting it because it's around for one short season and you were just curious... Right?

#PSL

2. Pumpkin-flavored anything

Even though, let's be honest, most of them don't even taste like pumpkin or are pretty gross and overpriced.

3. Pumpkin products

So weird. Yet so necessary.

4. Dragging your significant other to an apple orchard

What? It's festive, cute, and you really can't have too many apples... Or can you?

5. Talking about how your "fall wardrobe is where you peak"

ALL SKIN TONES LOOK GREAT IN FALL COLORS, OKAY?

6. Coordinating your Halloween costume with your BFF

What's Halloween without a socially relevant Halloween costume?

's'cute.

7. Online shopping for sweaters in class

Once temperatures go below 65 degrees, girls in fall are like preppers planning for the zombie apocalypse.

Need. More. Sweaters.

8. Making a Pinterest board for new fall hair color ideas

10. Buying a new flannel to stay warm in

No one blames you for trying to stay warm. This is a safe place.

11. Bonfires

12. Pre-planning fall outfits

Instagram-worthy outfits don't just happen.

13. Stocking up on scarves

Infinity? Flannel? Blanket-sized? I'll take them all thank you.

14. (At least thinking about) tweeting about being #blessed on Thanksgiving

#blessed #famtime

15. Standing in a line to get the new iPhone

It's that magical time of the year yet again.

#iphone6s #welcomehome

16. Fall-scented candles

These litter your apartment until the whole place smells like a brisk mid-October Sunday walk through the forest.

#smellslikefall

At the end of the day, if running around a pumpkin patch wearing a matching fall outfit with your BFF while holding a #PSL and Instagramming every second of it makes you happy, do it. All 16 "basic" things on this list are culturally mainstreamed for a reason: because they're awesome.

Go forth and enjoy the season, basics.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
