Chronic Babyface Syndrome

So everyone has heard of Resting Bitch Face, or RBF. RBF is when your natural resting face looks as if you are judging everyone in the room. But what about those who were not fortunate enough to have been blessed with a serious face that strikes the fear of god into insecure people everywhere?

Those unfortunate souls are the ones who suffer from Chronic Baby-Face Syndrome.

CBFS.

Try going a day where people look at you and the first thing they say is "you look so little and cute." NO. I'm an adult, there's nothing cute and little about me. The symptoms of Chronic Baby-Face Syndrome are very easy to point out:

  1. No amount of making will help you look your age. Even as a senior in college, you still look like a freshman in high school.
  2. You are constantly being hit on by 13 year old boys. And they actually think they have a chance.
  3. "I'm sorry, I can't serve you." BUT THIS IS MY REAL ID, I'M ACTUALLY 21 I SWEAR!
  4. Having the manager at the drive-thru ask if you're old enough to be driving.
  5. Always getting talked down to.
  6. "But you'll appreciate this when you're older and look young!" Yeah, but I'm young now and look like a baby.
  7. People think its acceptable to pinch your cheeks.
  8. They also just pick you up randomly.
  9. No one takes you seriously, and they always underestimate you.
  10. When you get mad, people just start laughing.
  11. Looking hot just isn't an option.
  12. You stay away from anything that could be considered childish. You wouldn't want to make your problems worse.
  13. You get excited when people say you look 17, because it's better than 13.

But hey, maybe one day there will be a cure for CBFS and those who suffer will finally look their age.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
