5 Times A Girl Comes Off Mean By Accident

Why girls are always assuming other girls suck.

Females are made out to be one of the most complex creatures to have ever walked the earth. And in some instances, girls can be very confusing. However, a lot of the mannerisms, actions, and ideas put out by females that often leave others perplexed, are actually just misunderstandings. Very often, there are girls being perceived as rude, snobby, or mean, all by accident.

I can personally vouch for the fact that there are plenty of girls being falsely accused of being for lack of a better term - crappy people, just for something as mundane as their body language, or the way they speak. Quite honestly, there's probably a solid amount of people who think I'm a wicked salty person just because they caught me at a bad moment.

1. Resting B*tch Face

For those of you who don't know, a Resting Bitch Face (shout out to Kanye for the killer demonstration), is the face you're making when you're totally calm, relaxed, or content. Like when you're walking in the hallway, waiting in line at the grocery store, or reading a book, but your rested face makes it seem like you're carefully contemplating the murder of the person next to you. Maybe it's just me, but I genuinely feel like if I had a happier looking "resting face", I'd probably have a hell of a lot more friends. Not to mention, the friends I do have, have told me on various occasions that they all thought I was extremely mean looking or even, one of my favorites, "like you were gonna curb stomp me if I said hi." If I had a nickel for every time I said, "it's just my face" during my high school career, I'd be rich enough to go pay for a happier looking one. I can almost guarantee that nine times out of ten, the girl you're looking at is probably real nice, and really that's just her face.


2. Catching her staring.

I can't tell you how many times I've been caught staring at a girl. Not because I'm judging her, and not because I'm hating on her. Honestly, I'm probably just trying to figure out how you do your make up so well or admiring how dope your outfit is that day. Thing is, we're not trying to look creepy, and if you're a victim of R.B.F., and you're caught staring at a girl, she's bound to think you're hating on her. Especially because, God forbid we smile at one another a little more, or give each other compliments when we think one another looks nice. Apparently, we'd all just rather live under the presumption that we hate one another.


3. Bathroom Etiquette

Ever be washing your hand next to another girl in the bathroom, eyeing one another out of the corners of your eyes pretending like neither of you notice? Those few seconds of intense bathroom silence are typically just the byproduct of shyness and awkwardness. I've made plenty of awkward eye contact with girls in restrooms, and instead of just saying hi to one another, you know, like human beings, we'll just stand there and pretend the other person doesn't exist. And you know what? You both walk out of there thinking the other girl's a snob. But in reality, one or both of us is probably either shy, or afraid the other girl is judging us.

4. She could just be quiet.

Yes, some girls are actually just shy or quiet. If you see a girl every day and have never heard her speak, it's probably not because she's a snob, but just because she doesn't feel like she has anything to say. If anything, her mind could be booming with thoughts about whether or not the people around her are judging her.

5. Being caught off guard.


As a result, since these days it is so uncommon for girls to actually be nice to one another, if it actually happens, I'm probably just gonna stare at you real confused for a couple of seconds before registering what you just said to me. I get it, you compliment a girl and she just stares at you like you've got six heads, you're bound to think she sucks. But actually, I'm probably just in shock that you were nice to me and I'm trying to figure out how to make my vocal chords function again. And when I do, it'll probably be a half-whispered 'thank you' that makes me seem even worse. She's not trying to sound snobby, she's just trying to recover from shock.

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.

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.
