Being “basic” has always had a negative connotation to it. This is why I would never accept the fact that I too, would be considered basic. Wait, is being “basic” even a thing any more? Either way, I personally like to think of it as a term of endearment. Maybe I’m so basic, that I’m actually kind of hipster (probably not). However you think of it, there is no shame in being basic (as long as you aren’t still wearing UGG boots and a North Face jacket).
Here are a few of the things I do that make me “basic,” and if you do many of these things, you might just be basic too.
Starbucks is basically a daily need. Don’t get me wrong, I love going to the chic coffee shop down the road, but Starbucks just knows how to make my grande skinny vanilla latte with extra foam the way I like it.
I have once been obsessed with The Hills, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, and The O.C.
Yes, I wear an oversized shirt and leggings or Nike shorts at least 4 times a week. It’s incredibly comfortable and there’s no shame in my t-shirt game.
Brunch is basically an every weekend thing. Mimosas are included at least 70% of the time, and if you don’t Snapchat it, did it really even happen?
Justin Bieber and Ryan Gosling…that is all.
Just like every other basic gal out there, I’m completely obsessed with Beyoncé. If the bartender ever dares to play “Drunk In Love,” you better believe I’m out on the dance floor yelling “SURFBOARDT.”
And when I’m at the bar, you’ll definitely see me holding hands with my four best friends (because we obviously can’t go to the bathroom alone).
While Chipotle may not be my life, it’s damn good! Whoever disagrees with me obviously hasn’t had their guac.
I love traveling, and I do so whenever I get the chance. #gypsysoultoblame #wanderlust #youngwildfree
I’m obviously obsessed with wine and sushi.
I have a Pinterest board with 300 photos of my future wedding, despite the fact that I may (or may not) have a boyfriend.
And speaking of, yes, I eat a salad while looking at the most fattening recipes on Pinterest.
I’ve also gotten into serious arguments with people who don’t like One Direction. How can you deny this face?!
I want to end this article by saying that you will never see me ordering a pumpkin spice latte-
that would just reach a whole new level of basic.
