Next, have a bowl of pumpkin shaped Reese's on your table at all times because Reese's in any holiday shape are a must (the perfection of the peanut butter to chocolate ratio in the holiday shapes is almost uncanny!). Also, give yourself mental high fives when you walk past the bowl and it's not completely empty after only 2 days.
Speaking of food, you must have your crockpot out at all times, because that soup isn't going to make itself! Just kidding, it IS going to make itself.... that's why we basics love the crockpot, duh.
Okay, and if you think you're supposed to wash all this delicious Fall festive food down with a pumpkin spice latte, think again! You should actually be drinking hot chocolate with International Delight's Almond Joy Creamer in it. Even if it's still 70 degrees outside.
Also, If your'e going to be a basic white girl in Utah, you should probably just accept the fact that it's going to be sweater weather in the morning and heatstroke weather in the afternoon. (Utah what the freak am I supposed to wear?!) If you're going the Shayli route, you'll still wear your flannel no matter how much you're sweating your guts out, because your'e just too damn proud to admit that it's not completely Fall in Utah yet.
Last but not least, make sure you create a "Fall Bucket List" that has things on it like "Go to Corn Belly's," and "Make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies" and "buy more berry lip colors." Oh, and make sure get pumpkins, haystacks, and cornstalks to put on your front porch because how else is your neighborhood going to know you're a basic white girl?
HAPPY FALL YA'LL!
I know I keep telling you this, but your job in the junior high teaches me so much. Like the fact that basic is a thing. And the mannequin challenge? I'm now at the age where I'm out of touch with things my students consider cool/your students have such different thoughts and experiences than my class. Thanks for keeping me cool.
