Things Girls With Resting B***h Face Wish You Knew

No, I'm not mad, that's just my face

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

1. You can't control it.

Most of the time, you have absolutely no idea what your facial expression is. It is not directed at one person, and it doesn't usually reflect your mood.

2. You are not always pissed off.

Although people see you and automatically think that you are unhappy, chances are you aren't. I understand the confusion because your face looks the exact same.

3. Most of the time, you're just fine.

When you actually are happy, people won't know. There is nothing more annoying than people who continuously ask what is wrong.

4. Usually, nothing is wrong.

But after hearing that all day long, you start to get annoyed. Well you weren't mad before, but congratulations now something is actually wrong.

5. Sometimes, you use it to your advantage.

For those days when you really don't want to talk to people, it does come in handy. Walk around campus emphasizing the chronic face, -- it's guaranteed no one will approach you.

6. But you actually are approachable most times.

However, it gets frustrating because you truly are an approachable person most times. People just take one look at your face and think the absolute worst. It's not your fault you got stuck with having RBF.

7. Fake smiling is tough.

People can totally tell when you fake smile. Again, you're doing it to try and be polite and show that you have emotions, but instead it looks even worse.

8. You are not actually a b***h.

You are just misunderstood. Yeah sometimes you use your amazing resting b***h face to your advantage, but most of the time you are just trying to go about your day. You really don't mean to look like a b***h, you just honestly can't help it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

This week, my parents went on vacation and left me with the responsibility of watching the house and the dog. Easy, right? Feed the dog, don’t burn the house down, do whatever you want within reason. I’m not the type to throw wild parties or have a parade of hookups, and my parents know this. The most I do is bring my laptop into the family room and refuse to use headphones.
