Chronic Babyface Syndrome

So everyone has heard of Resting Bitch Face, or RBF. RBF is when your natural resting face looks as if you are judging everyone in the room. But what about those who were not fortunate enough to have been blessed with a serious face that strikes the fear of god into insecure people everywhere?

Those unfortunate souls are the ones who suffer from Chronic Baby-Face Syndrome.

CBFS.

Try going a day where people look at you and the first thing they say is "you look so little and cute." NO. I'm an adult, there's nothing cute and little about me. The symptoms of Chronic Baby-Face Syndrome are very easy to point out:

  1. No amount of making will help you look your age. Even as a senior in college, you still look like a freshman in high school.
  2. You are constantly being hit on by 13 year old boys. And they actually think they have a chance.
  3. "I'm sorry, I can't serve you." BUT THIS IS MY REAL ID, I'M ACTUALLY 21 I SWEAR!
  4. Having the manager at the drive-thru ask if you're old enough to be driving.
  5. Always getting talked down to.
  6. "But you'll appreciate this when you're older and look young!" Yeah, but I'm young now and look like a baby.
  7. People think its acceptable to pinch your cheeks.
  8. They also just pick you up randomly.
  9. No one takes you seriously, and they always underestimate you.
  10. When you get mad, people just start laughing.
  11. Looking hot just isn't an option.
  12. You stay away from anything that could be considered childish. You wouldn't want to make your problems worse.
  13. You get excited when people say you look 17, because it's better than 13.

But hey, maybe one day there will be a cure for CBFS and those who suffer will finally look their age.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
