'Tis The Season To Be Basic

**Deck the Starbs with spice of pumpkin, fa la la la la la la la latté**

Autumn is always a crowd favorite. Sandwiched in between summer and winter, its crisp weather and seasonal festivities are adored by many and craved by all. And why is this so? Because fall is more than just falling leaves and legging weather. Fall means indulging in all your basic guilty pleasures. More specifically:

Pumpkins

Aka pictures with pumpkins, because, you know, Instagram is important.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Because those who make fun of these “basic” beverages have evidently never had their taste buds enriched by the squash-inspired drink.

Apple Picking

A great alternative to “Netflix and Chill”

Pretty Leaves

A sure way to enhance your walk to class and distract you from the fact that you are walking to class.

The one time L.L. Bean did me right.

Specifically, "Hocus Pocus."

….there may or may not be a Hocus Pocus countdown in my apartment.

(If this wasn't your favorite scene in the movie, you're either lying or haven't seen it.)

Halloween in General

Did someone say candy corn?

THANKSGIVING IS SOON

When you’re jealous of the turkey for not being alive to be a part of the rambunctious family antics.

CHRISTMAS IS IN THE HOME STRETCH

Need I say more?

So friends, when basking in your basic-ness, bask guilt-free. If a Pumpkin Spice Latte is what you need to get you through this week of mid-terms, then hold that white cup in your hand with confidence. Happy Fall-ing to all.
