How to Be Basic During the Holiday Season

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Marquette chapter.

Being basic during the holidays is what we thrive on. How many can you cross off your list?

Try every kind of Starbucks holiday drink.

Take a holiday picture with your roommates.

Post an Instagram of the Milwaukee holiday decorations.

Attend an ugly Christmas sweater party.

Host a Christmas cookie decorating party.

Break out the plaid blanket scarves.

Since snow is imminent, break out the Uggs and Bean boots.

Attempt to make your whole family crafts that you find on Pinterest.

End up buying your whole family gift cards when this fails.

Spike your Eggnog to deal with family holiday parties.

Wear Christmas socks for good luck on your finals.

Listen to Mariah Careyā€™s Christmas album until you never want to hear her voice again.

Play the Home Alone drinking game (take a drink every time someone should have died or been paralyzed from one of the pranks).

Wait anxiously for the holiday themed Snapchat filter.
