What is a "basic white girl"? Urban Dictionary describes it as "a female who conforms to her surroundings and claims she is unique. She often drinks Starbucks, wears Ugg boots in August, and posts selfies on social networking sites every. Single. Day. Also uses hashtags that don't have anything to do with the picture itself."

If you are white/caucasian female, 9 times out of 10 you are going to be labeled as basic, and here is why: you like coffee, you like to wear leggings and boots, watch Grey's Anatomy, use "candid" photos on Instagram, favorite season is fall and love dogs.

Let me just explain to you why we do these things:
Coffee: it is delicious and gives you a boost of energy
Leggings: covers like pants (somewhat) and they stretch to conform to your food baby size
Grey's Anatomy: it is a dang good show if you put the effort into paying attention
Candid photos: mom took them of you as a child, why not continue them now
Fall: it is the perfect season because it is finally cooling off from the hot summer months, but still warm enough that you are not burning up from stepping outside
Dogs: everyone loves dogs

If girls do not call each other "basic white girls" (and mean it seriously), then who is doing it?
THE BASIC WHITE BOYS

That is right. Do not eve start to argue with me that you are not one. Y'all think that we all dress and act the same? HA! Y'all are just as bad. Don't believe me? Let me tell you.

1. Jeans, PFG shorts, Chubbies
2. Boots or Loafers (or what I like to call, frat boy bar shoes)
3. Nike tennis shoes and high Nike socks (they always say socks up morals down)
4. "That's what she said."
5. "Gains."
6. Macklemore haircut or the "flow"
7. Name brand t-shirts or one representing a farm from back home.
8. Deer, ducks, fishing, DALE YEAH.
9. And for the special few, camo Crocs.

So before you call you a female a "basic white girl", look at the buddies around you. 9 times out of 10 y'all are all dressed alike and are into the same things.

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.
