11 Things You Hear If You've Been Blessed With "Resting Baby Face"
Dan Scontras via Paperblog

Believe it or not, I still get this annoying question to this very day, and whenever I tell people that I will be beginning my junior year of college, I usually get a confused face and an answer like, "Really? I could have sworn that you were 15 years old." At this point, I have honestly given up trying to look older because, 90 percent of the time, I end up looking like a 13-year-old with way too much makeup on. Add in the fact that I do not wear makeup and my personality is child-like, so most of the time, I get mistaken for a middle school kid.

I know you guys have heard of "Resting B***ch Face," but there is a new one taking over the Internet and it is called "Resting Baby Face" syndrome. Basically, it's when a person physically stops aging after turning 15 and they are walking around looking like a pre-pubescent child well into adulthood. If you guys are suffering from this syndrome (like your girl), you all will totally relate to the following things I have either been told or experienced!

1. "I need to see your I.D. before I allow you to see this R-Rated movie."

2. You constantly get hit on by high school boys. Sir, I am six years older than you and old enough to be your babysitter. Please take several seats. #Ew


3. Guys your age aren't interested in you because they think you are under the age of 18 and would rather not go to jail.

4. "You have the chubbiest little baby cheeks ever."

5. "You should put on makeup for the interview, or you are going to look like a 10-year-old in a pencil skirt."

6. Not really knowing if "cute" or "adorable" is a compliment or an insult.


7. You are constantly mistaken as the younger sibling.

8. People actually laugh when you get mad or show an angry face.

9. "Did you just say a cuss word? You are like a 7-year-old."

10. You are considered the baby of your squad, even though you turn 21 before any of them do.

11. Here's the follow-up statement after being mistaken for a 14-year-old: "You are going to be grateful of your eternal youth when you are 45."

Me: Cool, but right now, I just want to look like a college kid.

In all honesty, I do appreciate looking younger than most of my peers--it is truly a blessing. But, I will seriously vomit if one my person pinches my cheeks and calls me adorable. Just kidding (not really).

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning.
