The ‘Basic Girl’ as Told by Cher Horowitz

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

When asked about the typical BC girl, most people think of a similar image. Someone pretty, sporty, and well put together.

Most of the time, girls like this receive tons of compliments. But people can be petty, and words like unoriginal and basic get thrown around. Comments like this can be hurtful, and can make a person doubt her personality.

Some girls may even try to change their images by becoming someone they’re not. They may start to dress differently, hang out with a new crowd, and seek out different activities. Eventually, these girls realize that this new life is definitely not for them.

Never let another person make you doubt your personality or your interests. Everyone has unique talents and interests that make them special. It doesn’t matter if everything you own is monogrammed, or if your clothes are completely unique, you all have the right to be yourself and let the world see your shining personality.
