Chronic Babyface Syndrome

It's the new resting bitch face.

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
