Having RBF or resting bitch face is both a blessing and a curse. If we are actually mad at somebody they will get the hint, but a lot of people who don't know us will think we are just rude people. Here are a couple things people who suffer from RBF are told on a daily basis.

1. "What's wrong?"

You know, because RBF makes it seem like we're totally pissed off all the time. So something must've happened to us and upset us. Sorry, but this is just my face.

2. "Are you OK?"

It always seems that we are bothered by something, which leads people to keep asking questions. Answering "I'm fine" can result in the person asking five more times just to be sure that you are OK. Ugh. Yes, I'm fine this is just my face.


3. "You should smile more often."

Says mom, a patron at work, or the guy at the club. Smiling isn't something that we don't do, we smile a lot again this is just my normal face.

4."You look so much prettier when you smile."

Thank you for that, but again I'm not going to smile for a random reason. I'm sorry that my normal face isn't good enough for you

5. "Smile."

Are you going to take my picture, or did you just say something amusing? Because if not then I'm sorry but no.

6. "When I first met you, I was really intimidated by you but then I got to know you."

Yes, we understand that RBF makes us look like mean people, and thank you for giving us a chance and looking past our RBF because yes we are really nice when you get to know us.

7. "I thought you hated me when we first met."

Oh no, I'm so sorry, I actually thought you were really nice that's just my face.

8. "Are you tired? You look tired."

Nope, I'm actually pretty awake right now. Again, this is just was my face looks like.

9. "You know guys are afraid to approach you because you look unfriendly."

That makes me feel really great about myself, so thank you. This is just my face I can't control it. I'm sorry that I don't smile all the time. It's just the way my face is.

10. "What's wrong?"

Yes, this was listed before but it comes up so often it should be listed twice.

11. "Why do you look like this all the time?"

Because, THIS IS JUST THE WAY MY FACE IS!

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.
