Why It's Totally Okay To Be A "Basic White Girl."

Ugg Boots, Leggings, And Oversized Hoodies, Oh My!

Why It's Totally Okay To Be A "Basic White Girl."
Olivia Napier

Make fun of us all you want, but I'll continue being warm in my oversized hoodie, Ugg boots, and leggings.

The below 30 temperature is not this summer lovin' girls favorite time of year and for a 5'2 runner, I don't exactly have a lot of heat storing capabilities. Sure, playing in the snow is fun but walking across campus in the cold only to find out your class is cancelled is not!

I call it the "Basic BumFit.", let me introduce you. When you wake up in the morning, look at the weather and see that unfortunate 29 degrees pop up, the only solution is to slip into the Basic Bumfit. Hate on it if you please, but I'll be laughing when you're the one freezing. A Bumfit is not complete unless you're drinking your favorite warm drink, you're sporting an oversized sweatshirt/hoodie, fuzzy socks, leggings, Ugg boots, and the occasional hat or beanie.

It's really not that hard to understand for all you haters. It's simple really:

Coffee makes me feel all warm and fuzzy even in the coldest weather.

Big hoodies make me feel warm and safe like the person who gave it to me.

Leggings look cute with about everything (including the Basic Bumfit.)

Uggs care more about the warmth of my feet than any human ever would, with the Ugg boot's best friend, the fuzzy socks.

Hats/beanies save my life when the unfortunate bad hair day hits making any Bumfit complete.

Just because I wear leggings, boots, and an oversized sweatshirt doesn't mean that I stereotypically "can't even" or that the tanning bed is my top priority because "I want my skin as tan as my caramel spiced latte."

So please, continue to make fun of my outfit and ill just sit back, drink my coffee and light my pumpkin spice candle while watching you judgmental Basic Bumfit haters freeze your little hating butts off.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
