8 Activities All Basic Girls Do In The Summer

Here’s an arguable question: what is a basic girl’s favorite season?

Well, Spring can be pretty much thrown out—although hunting down the perfect pastel Easter dress can be exhilarating, pollen from those dang blooming flowers mess with our allergies and make our eyes water, causing our makeup to run. Spring isn’t even legitimate shorts weather, let alone dress weather. So, obviously, our favorite season is not Spring.

So that leaves Winter, Summer, and Fall. Winter is too cold. Yes, cold enough for a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but that’s about it. Fall brings football games that include tailgating. Aside from these wonderful festivities, I’d have to claim that Summer is the favored season of the basic girl.

So, in celebration of the upcoming, glorious season that is summer, here are a few activities you’d expect to see from a basic girl during this time (me included).

1. Buy the new trendy swimsuit style of 2017

Apparently, the style for this year is to copy the Baywatch swimsuit look: a one-piece swimsuit that looks exactly like the one in the photo that every girl reposted on their Instagram a couple of weeks ago in hopes to win a free swimsuit. In case you were wondering, it was a scam.

2. After buying the iconic swimsuit, we post numerous photos while wearing it on our annual trip to the beach

Believe me, wait until June or July—you will see about 3 to 4 photos a day.

3. Go to Disney World or Disneyland

I relate to this on a personal level, as I would go to Disney World in a heartbeat at any time of the year. Once we go to Disney, we come back with 5 pairs of Mickey ears, 10 stuffed animals, 15 Disney mugs, 20 Disney T-shirts, and we make another trip to go back as soon as we get home.

4. Spend our money on Starbucks, Sonic’s Happy Hour, donuts, smoothies, etc.

I do this, too, and I’m partially embarrassed. I’ve probably spend about $20 to $30 on a variety of the items listed.

5. Drown our worries at the pool

The pale look has gone out of style and now we MUST achieve a golden tan. For the hardcore girls, the ultimate achievement is, as SpongeBob would call it, sun-bleached. Olaf, too, is even “prob’ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer”.

6. Catching up on every Netflix series ever made

I have already watched 6 different series and I am “patiently” waiting for Season 2 of “OITNB,” Season 2 of “Stranger Things,” Season 2 of “13 Reasons Why,” and Season 4 of “Degrassi.” No big deal (Yes, it’s a huge deal).

7. Keeping up with our “summer bodies”

To do half of these activities, we have to keep in shape. My personal favorite is Crossfit—I love seeing people’s reactions when I tell them I Crossfit. Newsflash: I’m not lying.

8. Wait patiently for school to start again

Although these activities are fun and relaxing, we all know we miss our friends back in our college towns. Insert sad face here.

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.
