ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

If you are one of the lucky few readers who have been following White Girl Wednesday from the beginning (AKA my mother), congratulations! It's been a whole year since my first post! That's so crazy to me. It seems like just yesterday I was telling my friends I was going to start a blog and they were telling me they would never read it. Now, a year later, we have all kept our promises.

I want to thank each and every person who has read my blog over these past 12 months, especially the 2 of you who clicked on advertisements because you have fulfilled my lifelong dream of being a paid writer. After 52 posts since February 20, 2013, I am a whole 66 cents richer. And I couldn't be more thrilled.

So in honor of White Girl Wednesday's first birthday, today's blog post is a quiz to determine what type of white girl you are. There is a basic white girl who is "literally dying" because she "just can't" inside each and every one of us. And she is dying to get out. And go to Starbucks.

Mostly As - Lorde
You are queen of the darkness and the type of individual hipsters look up to. You embrace your inner white girl by constantly flaunting your pale skin and you totally rock it. You may be just 17 going on 45 but you have a plan for tackling misogyny headfirst. Maybe try to mix some sugar into your Scary Spice routine once in awhile?

Mostly Bs - Cher Horowitz
Forever a 90s white girl, you're a total Betty who knows everything about love, fashion, and getting your way. So what if you're a virgin who can't drive? You know exactly how to get what you want in life and the universe loves you. The only thing holding you back is your attachment to twentieth century trends that should have died with chokers.

Mostly Cs - Sass Girl Emoji
You're what all basic white girls strive to be. You've turned sass into a true art form and take 0 crap from anyone. You always have the perfect comeback and know the importance of wearing pink on Wednesdays, and every other day. You're the only type of girl who can pull off yoga pants, Victoria's Secret hoodies and Uggs day in and day out.

Mostly Ds - Luna Lovegood
Your quirks have their own quirks, and that's what makes you YOU! You have a big smile and a bigger heart and you love the curious things in life. Some people find your unconventional personality weird but your love for the universe is endearing. Never be afraid to be the wind beneath your own freak flag.

Mostly Es - Jennifer Lawrence
The white girl next door, you're like one of the guys. Your hilarious antics always attract attention, but it is your talent that has made you America's sweetheart. You really don't care what anyone thinks of you and know that loving yourself no matter what is the key to true awesomeness. After every endeavor, you can say with confidence "Crushed it."

Mostly Fs - Rachel Berry
The type A, perfectionist white girl always chasing after success with everything you've got. Somewhat hated by enemies and friends alike, you will stop at nothing to achieve your perfect life. You've always been talented and you have the determination to turn it into major star power. Note to self, if you ever think about taking up songwriting, think again. See "My Headband".
