New Duck Face: Fish Gape

The day has come! The duck face pose is slowly coming to an end in selfies, and now there is a new facial expression women are using, the "fish gape."

If the name doesn’t ring a bell for you, a quick Google image search will clear all confusion you have. You probably have already seen the pose all over Instagram. This will clear up whatever confusion you have left after your Google search.




Fish gaping is when your mouth is pushed together, slightly, with a small amount of your teeth showing, or not at all. Just like the duck face, this look flatters your face by accentuating your cheekbones, helping your contour. But the fish gape allows for a more natural look when taking a picture.

The fish gape is dominating the seflie game, considering the Kardashian and Jenner ladies are only using this pose in their Instagrams. I follow Kylie Jenner on Snapchat (@kylizzlemynizzl) and she uses this face in EVERY pose, making her lips even larger than they already are, but believe me, it is much better than the duck face.



Many other models, celebrities and ladies are rocking the fish gape. For example Taylor Swift has been supporting the fish gape in all of her recent music videos. Swift shows that you can turn the look two ways, either I’m a badass (Bad Blood Music Video) or I’m innocent (Wildest Dreams).



Now this pose isn’t just for selfies, many of these ladies have been seen working this pose on the red carpet, and in regular pictures. For the models and celebrities, all they do is smile for the camera whether it is on the red carpet, or for the paparazzi, and they’re tired of it. And so are their cheeks. I know after my senior Prom my cheeks were shaking after smiling for half an hour, imagine what models have to go through at day-long photo shoots.



This new pose is perfect for those ladies that are just tired of smiling, or doing the duck face, and want something new. All of my favorite girl crushes look gorgeous when supporting the bold new look.

The fish gape gives off an “I’m not really trying, but I still look fierce” look, and who likes to look like they’re trying these days?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
