I'm Basic And I Don't Care

I'm Basic And I Don't Care

The new thing to call each other and ourselves is “basic." The urban dictionary definition for “basic” is: “An adjective used to describe any person, place, activity involving obscenely obvious behavior, dress, action.” Based on this definition I’m basic, but I don’t care. If I’m happy living the life with clothes like other people and drinking Starbucks before work, just let me live. Here’s 11 ways I’m basic and why I don’t care:

1. I drink Starbucks...often.

I love Starbucks. I have a semi-complicated order and I know how to order it correctly. I have been late for work because I stopped to get Starbucks. This may be basic, but when a girl needs a caffeine jolt via an iced grande, skinny caramel macchiato, then let the girl get her jolt.

2. I own Ugg Boots.

I got my Ugg boots my freshman year in high school and I still have them…a college graduate. My Uggs are still in great shape, they still keep my feet warm in winter and I will continue to wear my Uggs until the day they fall apart, and if that makes me basic, I don’t care.

3. I love Chipotle.

Chipotle is so good. There is no further explanation for this. Yes, I know guac is extra, yes I still get guac.

4. I have an iPhone.

This may make me basic, but I love my iPhone. I love being able to iMessage on my MacBook and I love to use emojis. Nothing makes texting a friend more fun than adding a fun little picture.

5. I drink wine.

After a long week, I enjoy a glass of wine (or four). Saying that probably makes me basic and drinking wine after a long day or week makes me basic. I’m going to enjoy my wine and think about how #basic I am.

6. I watch "The Bachelorette" and live tweet it, too.

I also drink a glass of wine while I watch the "Bachelorette" and tweet about how Nick Viall ruined my "Bachelorette" bracket this season. I love the show, I love tweeting about it (you can follow my tweets on Monday nights @mbibs10)

7. I Instagram. A lot.

I love Instagram. It is easily my favorite social media app. You can filter the pictures and make a decent looking photo awesome. That sunset that no one really cares about will still get at least 35 likes. If that’s not validation that you’re living a #blessedlife, then I don’t know what is.

8. I wear Lulu Lemon to the gym.

I have Lulu Lemon leggings, sports bras, tank tops and I wear them to the gym. Occasionally, I look like a walking LuluLemon ad while I am getting my fitness on. I hate myself for it, but I also really like their workout gear. So if liking the brand and wearing it too makes me basic, then call me basic.

9. Brunch is my favorite meal.

I probably Instagrammed my mimosa and eggs Benedict with a caption like “Mimosas and conversations over brunch should always be bottomless.”

10. I hate cargo shorts.

Cargo shorts are awful and if that makes me basic, then call me basic because your shorts still suck. Do you put anything in the extra pockets? What are they there for? So many questions.

11. I drink vodka sodas.

I prefer to drink liquor to beer. I enjoy vodka sodas. I actually enjoy them. Some call it basic, I call it my drink of choice.

I’m sure I’m basic in so many other ways but even with those, I don’t care. And if you’re basic you shouldn’t care either. Live your basic life and love it.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
