The leaves are finally changing colour. And for basic girls all over the world, that means infinity scarves, Uggs, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and #artsy instagrams of trees that they only pay attention to for two weeks in the year. But how do you know you’re basic at Tufts? Here are the 10 Signs You’re a Basic Jumbo:
1.You get PSLs at Hotung Café
Or just know that they sell them. Or that PSL stands for Pumpkin Spice Latte.
2.You LITERALLY CAN’T EVEN deal with Pinkberry in Davis being closed for renovations
So you settle for the froyo machine at Dewick/Carm (the natural tart flavor, obvi). Or, if you’re ambitious, you’ll venture out to Harvard Square to get your PBerry fix. (Orangeleaf in Davis is good, but it’s just not the same when you do it yourself).
3.You own a pair of Tufts Norts (Nike Shorts)
Or two. Or three.
4.You own the Tufts Vineyard Vines Tote
It goes so well with the rugby tee!
5.The only machine you use at the gym is the spin bike
Because even though the gym is far from basically everything, Soul Cycle in Boston is further.
6.You’ve instagrammed your brunch from Tamper
French Toast Fridays are never complete without their amaaaaze white wine.
7.You refuse to drink beer at a frat house
Because calories.
8.You’ve gone to Davis just for “Chipots”
Ugh, the burrito bowl is TO DIE FOR.
9.You bought scented candles for your dorm room with the full knowledge that you’ll never be able to light them
Bonus points if the scent is seasonal (autumn leaves anyone?)
10.You’re a frequent user of the elephant emoji
