Perfecting the art of a basic white girl seems to be a difficult task. I mean, as soon as you catch up with one trend, another one starts. You have to toss away your love for Taylor Swift or S'well bottles just as quickly as the seasons change. Think you need some help in with your basic white girl game?
No need to fear, just follow these sixty steps.
1. Drink lots of Starbucks.
Specifically Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pink Drinks, and Vanilla Bean Frappicno's.
2. Take pictures of your Starbucks every time you get Starbucks.
3. Join a sorority.
And constantly fight people when they tell you it's paying for your friends.
4. Make sappy Instagram posts where you thank your sorority for helping you find your home & your soul sisters.
5. Have an unhealthy obsession with "Mean Girls."
Quote drop whenever necessary.
6. Listen to Fetty Wap & Drake while you pre-game in your big's apartment.
Because they are the greatest rappers of all time.
7. Only post pictures on Instagram if they fit your ~aesthetic~.
8. Wear leggings AT LEAST three times a week. Probably more.
9. Post pictures of your treadmill on Snapchat every time you go to the gym.
Because if you don't post a picture of it, you didn't go.
10. Go to a lot of country concerts during the summer.
11. Go to at least one jersey party a month.
12. Constantly ask your friends to take pictures of you.
13. And constantly ask strangers to take candids of you with your friends.
Don't forget to fake laugh!
14. Develop an unhealthy obsession with fall.
It is your favorite season, after all.
15. Post Boomerangs on your Instagram story a lot.
16. Call yourself a wine connoisseur, even though the only wine you drink is Barefoot Pink Moscato.
17. Watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette religiously, and live-tweet the whole thing.
18. Use Tinder "just for fun."
Don't forget to put a quote from The Office in your bio!
19. Complain about how bad carbs are for you every time you eat a meal heavy in carbs.
Bonus points - refer to yourself as a "Carbie."
20. Make Chipotle your go-to fast food stop.
21. Use Snapchat filters then make fun of yourself when you post a selfie on Instagram where you use a Snapchat filter.
22. Make a big deal about staying in every weekend night that you decide to stay in.
I'm talking at least three Snapchats of your Netflix screen and the pint of ice cream next to you.
23. Pick out a set of clothes EXCLUSIVELY for your walks of shame.
Rock that XL sleeper shirt, shorts, and make sure your hair and makeup looks like total shit.
24. Plan your Halloween costume months in advance.
Even dedicate a Pinterest board to ideas!
25. Dress up as a cat, Harley Quinn, a piece of fruit, or an athlete for Halloween.
26. Obsess over tailgate season.
I mean, it is the best season.
27. Drink out of a S'well water bottle.
Specifically a marble one.
28. Wear chokers when you want to feel ~edgy~.
29. Wear white high-top Converse with your leggings.
Even though we all know white shoes will get dirty.
30. Become obsessed with doing your eyebrows.
Gotta keep them on fleek.
31. Wear XL t-shirts and Nike shorts to class, along with your Birkenstocks.
Don't do your hair or makeup, either. It'd be a shame to look like you tried.
32. Own an iPhone and a Macbook.
Bonus points if your iPhone screen is shattered.
33. Cover your MacBook in Redbubble stickers.
34. Constantly tweet about how Beyonce is QUEEN.
35. Be a nursing, education, or fashion major.
Because we all know ONLY basic white girls want to be kindergarten teachers.
36. Be either very down-home, Southern Conservative or be a very liberal feminist. There is no middle political ground for basic white girls.
Time to choose your side.
37. Buy your lipstick EXCLUSIVELY from Kylie Cosmetics.
38. Only post on Facebook when you need to post a very timely "life update."
Like getting a new job, changing your major, or needing people to donate to your Dance Marathon page.
39. Write open letters to your ex-boyfriend or your little on Odyssey.

40. Hang Christmas lights in your dorm room.
