If loving pumpkin flavored food is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

1. The human popluation loves pumpkin.

Even people who are allergic to pumpkins are secretly jealous of that beautiful orange nectar from the heavens.

2. Coffee is a pretty much a food group of its own these days, get off our backs.

When you stop drinking coffee while also being a fully functional human being, you can speak on this.

3. YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THOSE OREOS, DON’T ACT LIKE YOU WEREN'T EXCITED.

4. "I can’t even" is this generation's "talk to the hand."

We're innovative and it's okay that you can't handle that. We got this.

5. Buying a $6 Starbucks coffee is a big deal. Because we’re perpetually broke.

If you don't like taking time to celebrate the little things and do nice things for yourself, then you can't sit with us. #treatyoself

6. Stand up if you have a fully stocked, perfectly tailored wardrobe. Nobody? No?

Unless you're Kim Kardashian (or any Kardashian really), having literally nothing to wear is a female epidemic. Ladies, we all know about this life. You're probably sitting in your dirty three-day old yoga pants now, ya hobo.

7. And on the 8th day, the Lord gave unto us Emojis. And everyone everywhere said, thanks bro.

If we can sum up a three sentences in 6 emojis, of course we will. What, you don't like to have fun?

8. Substituting alcohol for a meal is an American pastime.

This does not exclusively identify with basic girls. Come on people, check your facts.

9. No pants are the best pants.

Look, if we could get away with wearing no pants without being slobbered on, we would. Pants are the devil.

10. Have you ever been apple picking? It’s flippin' delightful.

God forbid women spend time together like normal human beings. We should all start doing crack together in bathroom stalls to help even out this "basic bitch" scale.

11. Mason Jars WERE MADE FOR STORAGE.

Sure, maybe they're meant for storing food. Don't tell us how to live our lives.

12. Brunch is socially acceptable day drinking. But classy.

If you know about pancakes and bacon, you know about true love. Of course we'd want to share that with friends. Guzzling mimosas while we do it is a bonus. But we want to sleep in first.

13. Basic = You like things? How uncool!

Maybe it's time we give this "basic bitch" rap a rest. A joke is funny up until it amounts to degrading an entire gender for valuing comfort and style. Hate on our Instagram filters, hate on our scented candles and poke fun at our leather boots but we know what you're doing on Pinterest. That shit is public. #hypocrite
