Well everyone, it's finally October. The "everyone" I am referring to here is actually just the basic white girls of America. After all, what other group of winners is relevant throughout this festive month? And what I mean by "relevant" is really just the most prevalent on your Instagram feed. As I'm sure that the majority of people reading this article are either basic white girls themselves or friends with the bunch, here are the six most basic and super unoriginal activities for every white girl to enjoy during the fall season. (But don't forget to Instagram a pic of yourself doing said activities! That's basic white girl code 101).
1. P S freakin L.
Ah, the legendary pumpkin spice latte (from Starbucks, of course). Why would this not be the first item on the list? There is nothing that makes basic white girls feel more in their natural habitat than this raved-about delicacy. You can burn your tongue on an overheated beverage any old day, but scorching your tastebuds on artificial pumpkin flavor, all for the sake of looking sophisticated yet approachable? I can think of nothing better to spend my Wednesday afternoon doing.
2. Sipping your PSL while wearing skin tight black leggings.
I mean how else are you supposed to get hit on while waiting in line for your whole wheat, gluten-free, slightly toasted bagel with low fat cream cheese? Just make sure you can keep up with the laundry that comes with wearing all 17 of your Victoria's Secret thongs. Also don't worry about the seam of your favorite leggings that is beginning to tear. I'm sure no one noticed at all...
3. Strutting over-confidently in your Hunter rain boots, which your leggings are obviously tucked into while you're still sipping your PSL.
It doesn't have to be pouring outside for this activity to occur. Hell, it doesn't even have to be raining at all. There is nothing that says "I can be stylish and practical at the same time" more than a pair of bright shiny new Hunter rain boots, especially when they squeak the whole walk home for everyone to hear. Hooray!
4. Picking bright orange pumpkins at a farm that Siri told you was the closest nearby pumpkin patch (while wearing your Hunter rain boots and black leggings while still sipping your idolized PSL).
The only purpose of this activity is good quality Instagram pics. Literally, the only purpose.
5. Endless hayrides.
*See No. 4.*
6. Screaming your head off at haunted houses.
This wonderfully thrilling activity revolves solely around cutting off the blood circulation of your SO's left arm in hopes that they will hold you even closer. What better way to bond on a first date than by gracing your bae with a bloodcurdling scream for approximately 20 minutes? How romantic.
