Having RBF or resting bitch face is both a blessing and a curse. If we are actually mad at somebody they will get the hint, but a lot of people who don't know us will think we are just rude people. Here are a couple things people who suffer from RBF are told on a daily basis.

1. "What's wrong?"

You know, because RBF makes it seem like we're totally pissed off all the time. So something must've happened to us and upset us. Sorry, but this is just my face.

2. "Are you OK?"

It always seems that we are bothered by something, which leads people to keep asking questions. Answering "I'm fine" can result in the person asking five more times just to be sure that you are OK. Ugh. Yes, I'm fine this is just my face.


3. "You should smile more often."

Says mom, a patron at work, or the guy at the club. Smiling isn't something that we don't do, we smile a lot again this is just my normal face.

4."You look so much prettier when you smile."

Thank you for that, but again I'm not going to smile for a random reason. I'm sorry that my normal face isn't good enough for you

5. "Smile."

Are you going to take my picture, or did you just say something amusing? Because if not then I'm sorry but no.

6. "When I first met you, I was really intimidated by you but then I got to know you."

Yes, we understand that RBF makes us look like mean people, and thank you for giving us a chance and looking past our RBF because yes we are really nice when you get to know us.

7. "I thought you hated me when we first met."

Oh no, I'm so sorry, I actually thought you were really nice that's just my face.

8. "Are you tired? You look tired."

Nope, I'm actually pretty awake right now. Again, this is just was my face looks like.

9. "You know guys are afraid to approach you because you look unfriendly."

That makes me feel really great about myself, so thank you. This is just my face I can't control it. I'm sorry that I don't smile all the time. It's just the way my face is.

10. "What's wrong?"

Yes, this was listed before but it comes up so often it should be listed twice.

11. "Why do you look like this all the time?"

Because, THIS IS JUST THE WAY MY FACE IS!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
