Everyone has it or knows someone that has it, the "chronic b*tch face." Most people talk or refer to it with a negative connotation. To me, having chronic b*tch face isn't necessarily a bad thing, people just make it out to be and here's why:

If you have resting b*tch face it doesn't mean you're a b*tch.

Most people don't even know they're making a b*tch face. Some people's face just naturally falls into it. People make the assumption that if you have a nasty look on your face, you're a nasty person. In reality, some people with resting b*tch face are actually really nice if you talk to them.

Having resting b*tch face can really just mean you see through people's bullsh*t.

Come on, we all know people who put on an act in front of others. People with fake personalities aren't good people. For me, my momma didn't raise no b*tch and I make sure to let everyone know that. Not that I'm rude or ignorant when I meet someone for the first time, but I can see through people's charade, and I'll be the first one to call them out on it.

It's a sign you can hold your own.

To me, my resting b*tch face means I can handle myself, so don't mess with me. It's a sign that I'm strong, and I can take whatever life throws at me. I can be the nicest person if you're nice to me. However, if you're fake or just flat out ignorant, you'll continue to get the resting b*tch face in your direction. For me, Momma didn't raise no b*tch and I let everyone know that. Not that I'm rude or ignorant, but I see through people's charade, and I'll be the first one to call them out on it.

It's a real proven thing.

Literally, a plastic surgeon said that "gravity combined with genetics can pull our mouths down. As we get older and our skin gets looser and it gives us a permanent frown." I know I'm not old but maybe my face is the way it is because of genetics. Maybe, just maybe I'm not actually that big of a b*tch.

You don't have to smile all the time.

You don't have to act like you're beaming with happiness at all times. Life sucks. Things go wrong. People piss you off. You're allowed to wear heart on your sleeve and let emotion take over. If someone does something to offend you, you have every right to let them know you're pissed and you're not taking your their crap.

I've had the "resting b*tch face for as long as I can remember. Some of my best friends have told me that when they first met me, there were "scared" of me because of it. After actually getting to know someone, you can learn a lot more about why they have resting b*tch face, maybe it's something that they've gone through and live with every day. Maybe it's just the face their face rests. You don't know, So please stop shaming people with resting b*tch face, we're not as bad as you think.

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 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
