I ran across this link on Buzzfeed the other day: 25 Things All Basic White Girls Do in the Fall. I looked through it, and I am shocked to note that I don’t do any of those things. Now I’m distressed! Am I not white? Am I not a girl? Am I not basic?! What does “basic” even mean? Why can’t I identify with the items of this list? Is it because I live in California, and it’s a lot less satisfying to fling crap from a pepper tree up in the air, compared to the brilliant red-gold leaves of whatever trees they’re Instagramming back east? Is it because I’d rather eat mealworms in Miracle Whip than any of the food marketed as Pumpkin Spice?
This list is clearly an unsatisfactory representation of my experiences as a white girl in the fall, so I will provide you with an alternative list.
