We’ve all heard someone say these things….do we hate when we hear it, or do we all have a little “basic” in us?

1.  “But first, let me take a selfie.”

Because who hasn’t indulged in a selfie or two (or six)?

2.  “Marilyn Monroe is my spirit animal.”

Love her or hate her, she was pretty fabulous.

3. “I was looking for the perfect $7 vintage dress to go with my $300 shoes.” — Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Quoting Sex and the City doesn’t make you basic; it just means you have great taste, obviously.

4.  “The bags under my eyes are Prada.”

I don’t think anyone actually says this in real life (or is serious about it). Like, ever.

5.  “I woke up like this.” — Beyoncé Knowles

Ladies, being fierce and flawless is a full time job. Beyoncé practically said so herself so this is pretty much a law.

6.  “Friends are like uggs. Nobody wants the fake ones.” — Anonymous

Come back to me when you find another pair of boots that are comfy as hell and look killer with oversized sweaters.

7.  “First PSL of the season. Can’t wait to put a ring on it.” via Instagram

If you didn’t freak out when you heard pumpkn spice lattes were making a comeback, you’re lying.

8.  “Chipotle is the food of the gods.”

My friend told me that loving Chipotle is one of the signs that you’re basic. I’m pretty sure she’s said these exact words before. *side eye*

9.  “It’s a Wednesday night baby, and I’m alive!” — GIRLS

If binge-watching HBO’s GIRLS in one sitting is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

10.  “I can’t even.” via Instagram

Yeah, I can’t even understand how doing anything other than breathing makes you basic. Calling girls basic for keeping it real and just being themselves?

Now, THAT is basic.
