As much as we deny it, most girls are basic. You probably sit there and silently judge other girls because they are the "basic bitches," but you know you're the exact same way. Don't deny the facts, embrace the basic in you.
1. You don't wear t-shirts that fit. You probably buy every comfort color t-shirt you see, and it is probably two sizes too big. You pride yourself when people ask: "Are you even wearing pants?"
2. When you're basic you take candid pictures. You make someone take a picture of you and your friends fake laughing and post it on Instagram, but you tell everyone it was totally in the moment. All you wanted was a cute picture so you can use the clever caption that you came up with way earlier.
3. You love Starbucks. Starbucks is not JUST coffee, but it makes you feel better. Not only do you go to Starbucks almost daily, but you either tweet about it because you are so excited that the Pumpkin Spiced Latte is back. We get it. Your Snapchat story of your Starbucks screams basic.
4. If you own at least two items with your monogram on it, you're basic. You think your monogram is the best ever, and you probably don't date anyone whose last name would RUIN your monogram if you got married. Odds are, you probably have a purse with a script monogram, or you have a rain jacket with your monogram on it because you think "Monograms make everything better!" Whether you plaster your monogram sticker on your car, or if you ordered a super cute monogram necklace off of Etsy, you're basic.
5. I bet you own a Lily Pulitzer planner. You probably order it every year and wait for its arrival. Once it finally comes in you tweet about it #Lily. If you're REALLY basic, you put a monogram ON your brand new Lily Pulitzer yearly planner.
6. Guess what, when you "literally can't even" or you're "so done," there are about 12 million other basic girls who can't even either. Don't worry, you're not alone. You may have just spilled your diet coke in the car or Bluebell goes out of business, but you are "so done." Even when your scrunchy can't fix a bad hair day, I understand, you "can't even."
7. Peace signs are so 7th grade, but if you throw them up to say hello to people or greet people, you are basic. Who doesn't love throwing peace signs to your friend across campus? "It's coming back in style I swear!" Keep throwing up those peace signs and soft smiling when you see your pals on campus. Even though you are "so weird" because you use peace signs, I guess everyone else is too because you're just a basic biotch like all the other girls throwing up peace signs.
It's not bad to be basic. Own the fact that you love Lily Pulitzer, and that you can't wear a shirt that doesn't cover your Nike shorts. Don't be ashamed of your Starbucks addiction either, embrace it. So go on and post that 10 second snapchat story about how happy you are that it's fall and the Pumpkin Spiced Latte is back. From one basic bitch to another, you CAN even.
