So…you’re a Betty. Here’s how to come to terms with it

There are only two types of people on this Earth: Bettys and Veronicas.

It's a certified fact. A few months ago, on my fifth watch of Riverdale, I came to the realization that no matter how badly I wanted to be a Veronica, I'm totally a Betty. And you know what? I'm fine with that.

You're not a Veronica and that's alright

Veronicas are effortlessly cool. They're a little bitchy and at least a little bit hot in the "she should be a background dancer in a music video" way. Veronicas are edgy. They're a little dark, yell at their moms, and totally bite the shit out of guys during sex.

Bettys are still cool, but it definitely takes them a bit more to get there.

Bettys are nice, but kind of calculated. They think things through. They aren't spontaneous and fun like a Veronica. They're hot in the "girl next door" way but probably don't do car commercials in Japan. What I'm trying to say is, if you're the "mom" friend or the girl with a long-term boyfriend and a bullet journal, you might be a Betty.

The problem is all Bettys want to be a Veronica. They want to be this fun, crazy girl who gets guys in clubs and can wear leather even when they aren't drowning someone in a hot tub.

But being a Betty is secretly the best

But really, being a Betty is something to be proud of. You might be a little anxious and a little calculated, but your life is put together. You might be a little self-righteous, but you're loyal as fuck.

And yeah, you might never get the Archie, but you find the best in people and will probably get a Jughead one day if you haven't already found one and stuck by his side.

This is no Veronica hate – we need some messy, spontaneous bitches out there to keep social media interesting and make sure we don't all take ourselves too seriously.

But a Veronica would be nothing without the Betty who keeps her in line.

Bettys, be proud of who you are. You don't have to be a Veronica to have fun. But also know if you want to let loose, you can be a Veronica for the night with some tequila and messy friends. You know, as long as you're up for your 6 a.a. jog or impressive job, of course.
