As of today, people use the word basic in a negative context. But why? Seriously, who really gives a shit what you like to do, eat, wear, watch, etc. People should be able to do whatever makes them happy without having other people attempt to insult them by suggesting that they are mainstream and nothing special.

Kellie, spelled with an "ie," practically resides at Starbucks even though they have yet to spell her name correctly. She's obsessed with the color pink, Elle Woods, and Bitmoji's. Her biggest accomplishment is breaking the record within her sorority for how many standards hearings she has had without getting kicked out. She spends her free time trying to stay tan (i.e. sunburnt) and stalking people on social media.
