Struggles All People With Resting Nice Face Can Relate To

Have you ever been asked to help someone with directions multiple times a day? Has a complete stranger ever told you their life story and expected advice or feedback? Do babies, kittens, and old people naturally cling to you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be struggling with the phenomenon known as "Resting Nice Face." You’re all smiles and giggles all the time and probably don’t even notice it. On the inside you’re wishing people would stop talking to you and just leave you alone, but on the outside you probably look like this.

I am sure we are all familiar with Resting Bitch Face. No matter how friendly one of our friends may be, they just cannot help but look like she wants to ax murder every person she comes into contact with. Here are seventeen times Resting Nice Face people probably wish we had Resting Bitch Face.

  1. Men always take your smile as an excuse to flirt.
  2. Salespeople on the street or at mall kiosks LOVE when you walk by. They have been ignored all day, your smiling face is such a refresher.
  3. People assume you're much younger than you actually are.
  4. On the rare occasion that you do appear upset, EVERYONE wants to know what is wrong.
  5. You have to try your very hardest to look effortlessly cool. SO difficult, especially on a campus like mine where everyone is actually cool.
  6. “Sweetie,” “baby,” “cupcake,” and basically any other pet name imaginable... you've have been called it, even by people you don’t know.
  7. “Why are you so happy?” is a common question, as if happiness is odd.
  8. People assume you are more trusting, so they share secrets and belongings with you very frequently.
  9. When you are angry, NO ONE believes you.
  10. Your cheeks hurting from smiling too much is a common ailment.
  11. If you are out eating or doing anything alone, strangers will come and sit with you, whether you want them to or not.
  12. Bus, airplane, DMV, library… no matter where you are, if someone you do not know sits next to you, it is guaranteed that they will chat with you.
  13. “Sexy” is definitely not a word that is used to describe you… usually “cute” or “awkward” do a better job.
  14. Back to unwarranted flirting, men seriously don’t know how to take the hint when you are not interested.
  15. You get mistaken for being simple or ditzy a lot of the time.
  16. No one has actually asked before they hug or touch you, it just happens.
  17. You accidentally make a friend everywhere you go.

In a way, Resting Nice Face is a blessing. People will never think you are mean since they don’t think you are capable of being mean; you can always count on people talking to you; and you most likely, always, have a funny story to tell your friends because strangers are always approaching you…and strangers are hilariously weird. On the bright side, resting nice face isn’t that bad of a thing and you probably are actually a nice person. You go, you!

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.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
