20 Real Struggles Of Having A Resting Nice Face

As defined in Urban Dictionary, resting nice face is:

A person who naturally looks 'nice' or 'approachable' when their face is expressionless, without meaning to. Basically the opposite of 'resting bitch face'

"Yo, imma holla at that girl over there"
"Nah, son. She just has resting nice face. She's a mad hoe"

Insightful.

Resting nice face: Is it a blessing or a curse? The world may never know. What I do know, is that if you, like me, have resting nice face, you know these 15 things all too well:

1. You get stopped on the street by solicitors and salespeople all the time.

I already support LGBT, please don’t ask for my money.

2. Old people talk to you on the bus/train/or plane all the time.

Last summer I was on the train home from Lollapalooza. I was wearing a crop top and short shorts and had the whole Lolla get up, and an old woman still told me her life story. Because she couldn’t resist the face.

3. It surprises people when you say something sassy.

4. Or when you have your own opinion.

5. And it especially surprises them when you swear.

6. People you don’t know very well tell you all their problems, as if you’ve been best friends forever.

7. Everyone either thinks they’ve met you before or thinks you “look so familiar!”

Oh, I must look like your friend who smiled once.

8. People hug you without asking.

9. Teachers always put you next to the bad kids in class because they think your "niceness" will rub off on them.

I sat next to the same annoying boy in every single class in the 7th grade and he never got the hint.

10. People always ask you for directions.

And then, they’re sad and confused when you don’t know which way is north or what street you're on.

11. Casually cool? More like casually foolish.

I’m sorry I said that.

12. Strangers always ask you to “watch their purse while they use the bathroom, just real quick?”

What if I were a really nice looking kleptomaniac?

13. Animals LOVE you.

But actually, you’re ok with this one.

14. Strangers say hi to you and smile at you as you’re passing by.

And it's usually just uncomfortable.

15. People ask you why you’re having such a good day, when it’s just your face.

I was actually having a really terrible day, thank you very much.

16. Sometimes resting nice face is equivalent to having a baby face, so you’re often mistaken for a middle schooler.

True story: I had to observe a 7th grade class last semester for my education class and when I walked in the first day, all the kids thought I was a new student.

17. You are known as “sweetheart” or “honey” to anyone older than you.


18. You get compared to tiny animals often.

Usually bunnies and kittens.

19. People ask you what your secret to being so happy all the time is.

20. But, you secretly love your resting nice face.


Whether you suffer from resting nice face or perhaps the more widely known resting bitch face, I'm sure your face is lovely and you are, too.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
