Millions of people are affected by RBF, also known as Resting Bitch Face. RBF happens when someone unconsciously looks mean, arrogant, stuck-up, etc. while their face is in an expressionless, resting position. There's no known cure for RBF, and while many mock those affected, living with RBF is no laughing matter. We can't help the way our faces naturally look. Sure, we could try smiling, but wearing a fake smile for hours at a time can be exhausting.

Until you've lived with RBF, you can never understand the struggles we face every day.

1. It's hard to make friends because everyone assumes you're mean or stuck-up.

2. People always ask you what's wrong.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong. This is just my face.

3. "You should smile more."

4. No one ever knows how you really feel because all of your emotions look the same.

5. You always have to approach people first because they're intimidated by you.

6. People always assume you're judging them.

I mean, I probably am judging you, but still.

7. You unintentionally glare at people.

8. People give you dirty looks because you're unconsciously giving them dirty looks.

9. "I thought you were a total bitch when I first met you."

Why on earth would you have thought that?!

10. People automatically assume you're mean or rude.

11. Flirting is nearly impossible because the guy you're flirting with thinks you hate him.

12. No one laughs at your jokes because they're not sure if you're really joking.

13. Every time you compliment someone, they think you're being sarcastic.

14. Everyone assumes you have no emotions.

15. People assume you're always bored.

I could literally be having the best time of my life and still look like I'm pissed off.

16. All of your ID/passport pictures look like mugshots.

17. Your RBF gets 100x worse when you're actually mad.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
