10 Things You Know To Be True If You're From Holly Ridge, North Carolina

Trulia

1. It's not unheard of if someone's goat breaks out of their confinement and roams the neighborhood.

2. Folkstone vs. Old Folkstone

3. Just about everyone works at Food Lion or Hwy 55 so it's never awkward when you're alone in public.

4. Either you, one of your friends, one of your friends' friends, or one of your friends' friends' friends has bumped into Scotty McCreery while casually walking through Food Lion.

5. On the EC, there are these things called "Hurricanes". And...well...it wouldn't be exactly uncommon to see locals act like this:

6. But god forbid there be a forecast of a single snowflake falling from the sky...overnight...

7. Boom

Non-native: OMG WHAT WAS THAT?

* Boom Boom*

Native: Oh, it's just artillery resumes class.

8. Non-Native: Omg, there's a fire in the distance!!

Me: proceeds to order McDonald's at the drive-thru because I have more important things to do than worry about the 18th fire this week...on a Tuesday.

9.Speed Limit: 45mph

Me: 46mph for .04 seconds

Yes, I'm fine. No, I'm not mad about anything.

Saginaw Valley State University

Revelist

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

A Candid Letter to My Best Friends Ex

Because this is the real form of torture you deserve.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Rollins College

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

15 Struggles Of Having A Resting Bitch Face

Yes, I'm fine. No, I'm not mad about anything.

1. People always asking if I'm ok

2. "Are you mad?"

3. Having to approach potential new friends first because they might be intimidated by you.

4. Getting complaints at work that you "look mean".

5. Having to literally force yourself to smile around new people.

6. "I always thought you were mean before I met you!"

7. I could be having the best day of my life and my face would still look like this:

8. When people start badgering you with questions if you're ok, you actually do start to become a little irritated and annoyed.

9. It makes your blood boil when someone tells you to smile more.

10. Constantly having to reassure people that you're happy.

11. The exhaustion that comes after having to fake a smile.

12. People always think you're judging them.

13. Trying to make your face look like a ray of sunshine, but giving up because it's too hard.

14. Feeling like you're over smiling when you're just smiling like a regular person.

15. When you really are in a bad mood and people just think it's another day for you.
