It's October, which means fall is officially here! Fall is a beautiful season that most teenage girls are obsessed with. Many young people do the same things each year to be festive, which is also known as being "basic." If you want to get on board the bandwagon, here's everything you need to know about what it means to be basic.
1.) Wearing Uggs or Tall Riding Boots
2.) Leggings, Leggings and More Leggings
The magical pair of black pants that match every outfit. They are the much more comfortable alternative to jeans and you can never have enough. Trust me.
3.) Ordering Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks
Go to Starbucks and get in line immediately! You can't be basic and NOT have a pumpkin spice latte! PSL's are the foundation of being basic. The small drink can make you feel as festive as possible.
4.) ...Or Really Any Food That Has Pumpkin In It
Pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cupcakes and pumpkin ice cream! Hold me back.
5.) Obsessing Over How the Leaves Are Changing Everywhere
Thinking about the leaves in the summer when they're green and the same is just gross, like ew. Now, the trees are filled with vibrant spots of red, orange, yellow and brown. It couldn't look more beautiful, so don't forget to take an artsy picture of them for Instagram.
6.) Lighting Scented Candles Everywhere
After you've gone to Bath and Body Works and gotten your hands on your favorite scents from this year's seasonal collection, it's time to almost set your house on fire by burning them all at once. Yeah, you should savor them, but they just smell so darn good and you can't help yourself.
7.) Going Apple or Pumpkin, But Mostly For The Cute Pics
Yeah, it's fun to twist apples off the branches and find the perfect pumpkin to carve, but full-on photoshoots in the middle of an open field are the best.
8.) Wearing Flannels Or Very Oversized Sweaters To Stay Cozy
9.) Halloween
You love Halloween. You plan your costume as soon as you can. You watch Hocus pocus and Halloweentown every year even though you have every line memorized. Who needs Santa when you can go trick-or-treating?
10.) Talking About How Excited You Are For The New Season
Don't forget to tweet something like, "So excited for fall!!" or "Can't wait for hoodies, fires, haunted hayrides!" Use all the autumn emojis you can find!
Now you're ready to be basic, but don't worry, because it isn't such a bad thing after all. It just makes you extra festive. That's okay.
